1:1 small business MENTORINGI bet if you’re reading this, you’re not one to settle for lacklustre results.
But if you keep doing the same thing and expecting a different result, lacklustre results is what you’ll get. Without the tools or support to find a new way out or to help your team grow, you’ll keep second-guessing your sanity instead of unlocking your true potential.
As a founder, your business is so much more than your ‘job’.
Whether you are scaling, streamlining, or something else, I’ve got you.
Your mentoring with me focuses on success in three areas: your business, your team, and your life.
Get a strategy, business tools to support you, and accountability to make it happen. Work with a professional who *gets* you and your business.
My business leadership framework is
here to support you by:
Discovering your natural leadership style and how to manage the team in a way that feels good for you (and gets results)
Getting clear on your strategy and and a plan to get there, for your business, your team, and your life.
Learning how to lead your team with my CEO Toolkit full of templates such as recruitment, performance reviews, delegation, and profit planning.
Hi, I’m Kate. Director of Zenith Journey

I’m here to meet you where you’re at, expand your thinking, and teach you practical yet science-backed strategies of business that get results.

The Zenith Journey Approach
This isn’t about me talking at you, but opening honest conversations–discomfort is welcome, but never shame. My job is to help you find higher ground to see challenges from a different perspective. With a little reframing, roadblocks are actually good things, and often, you’ll be surprised to realise that all the answers you’re looking for are already inside you.
You just need help pulling them out.
All of my work for both individuals and teams stems from the idea of compounding interest: consistent, small improvements of 1% everyday creates significant and sustainable results. Together, we work through the following phases:
Agreement
Understand what you want to achieve, your motivations, and the impact if you don’t move forward with change. What does success look like for you?
Action
Develop a customised plan to help reach your goals and implement it with step-by-step support, accountability, and troubleshooting along the way.
Awareness
Where are you now? We use a variety of tools and audits to get a well-rounded assessment.
Achievement
Revisit your original goals, reflect on your progress, gather feedback, and most importantly–celebrate your wins.
I didn’t climb to the top of the corporate ladder, get my MBA, sit in fancy boardrooms around the world and recover from a near-death experience for nothing.
By 2018, I had accomplished so much in the corporate world and in my own business. In that same year, I experienced a life-threatening stroke. It forced me to slow down, figure out what was important, and find balance.
Using my qualifications in Business (MBA and masters of positive psychology in leadership and strategy, plus a certified coach), I now help business owners find their own picture of success, and a plan to get there (without the burnout!).

Strategy
Get a customised strategy and the support that you need to finally feel confident and satisfied within your business, and positively motivate your team to achieve your collective goals, too.
Accountability
Holding yourself and your team accountable can be challenging. I’ll help you execute your strategy and keep you and your team on the right path with realistic and actionable tasks.
Education
With three degrees under my belt, you’ll have access to leadership learning materials and scientifically validated tools, templates and frameworks to help you move towards your goals faster.
Private Business Mentoring
Your 6-month* 1:1 leadership mentoring program includes:
Initial 90-minute Strategy Session (via Zoom)
Customised strategic plan to hit your goals (without the burnout)
11 x fortnightly mentoring sessions (60 minutes per session, via Zoom))
weekly accountability check-ins via email
Personalised Leadership Profiling Tool to help discover your leadership strengths and development areas. We get feedback from yourself and your team members.
Online portal with business strategy, session notes and videos to refer back to.
Access to my personal online CEO Toolkit, full of science-backed tools, templates and frameworks. Includes my Delegation Playbook and my Rockstar Visuals.
Your investment in positive psychology-led leadership: $8,000 + GST for 6 months.
* Change doesn’t happen overnight, just like one gym session won’t turn you into an ironman (I wish!). Becoming a better business owner will happen incrementally, so individual coaching agreements require a 6-month commitment.

"Made stepping into the CEO role of my business simple and fun"
“I initially decided to work with Kate because hiring always feels like a high-pressure decision. I knew she would have a way to make it simple! I didn't realise that I was stuck - I was still struggling with what type of business I wanted. I’ve now made decisions that are right for me, and made stepping into the CEO role of my business simple and fun. I’ve got my team sorted, and also what I want my team to look like in the long, long, long term. And that feels great!”

"Significant impact on the way I work"
“I've had the pleasure of working with Kate from Zenith Journey over the past 6 years, both in a 1:1 coaching capacity and leadership programs.
Kate has had a significant impact on the way I work with others and lead, with in depth insights and simple visual explanations which satisfy my curiosity for a scientific explanation and learning visually.
Kate always challenges me, keeps me accountable, and leaves me pondering at the end of the sessions. I always look forward to them.
Thanks Kate and I look forward to working with you for many more years.”
Racheal Hedges - CEO, RMH Consulting

“Kate makes this interesting, stimulating and challenging.”
“Working with Kate is a great frank discussion about a range of things that I need to work on or have been hiding from and bringing these things into the light is valuable. Kate makes this interesting, stimulating and challenging. The neuro-psychology stuff is outstanding and leveraging that and learning from it and applying it is where I think I need to spend my time. Frequent sessions has allowed me to subtly grow and shift my perspective and thinking on a range of things.”

Frequently Asked Questions
-
I am accredited in Team Management System, Human Synergistics, Global Management Profile and a handful of others. During our discovery call we discuss what tool would be the best option for you/your team.

1:1 coaching sessions are completed online via Zoom. You’ll receive your own coaching portal with recordings of your sessions, actions from each session, resources, and ability to book your next session directly. Although in-person is also great, in my experience, the ability to fit coaching within your busy life is easier when completed virtually, and also gives greater confidentiality during the sessions.
-
Previous clients in the Founder space include CEO of a environmental company, CEO of an advertising company of 10 people, COO of a large construction company, owner of a photography education small business, doctors, engineers. People who are interested in developing themselves and their business.

We start with a call to check if there’s a fit both ways. If we both agree it’s a fit, you’ll be sent a personalised link to purchase your six month coaching pack. Once completed, you’ll receive your coaching portal log-in. In the portal you’ll be able to book your sessions, see your resources and complete your success questionnaire. Your first session is 90 minutes and we complete your business strategy. After this, sessions are held fortnightly and we will work through the business strategy we created together, focusing on your specific mix goals. Each session always finishes with actions, and in between sessions I check-in to make sure you’re on track, or where you’re stuck (which could be practically or a mental road block)
