The Zenith Journey Approach
This is not a fixed program - it’s an ongoing advisory relationship built around your role, your team and your decisions.
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:
1. Diagnose and focus
Review of your team, structure, performance and current challenges.
Leadership 360 Profile tool
What does success look like in 12 months?
Identify the few priorities that will make the biggest difference.
3. Work through real decisions
This is where the value sits.
While we continue to work through your 12 month plan, we also address what’s actually happening in your role, in real time.
For example:
- preparing for a difficult performance conversation
- orking through a hiring or restructure decision
- aligning your leadership team
- addressing behaviour or accountability issues
- stepping out of the doing and resetting how you lead
No hypotheticals.
No generic frameworks.
Everything is applied to your current reality.
2. Leadership Plan
Establish your leadership priorities and direction. This may include:
- resetting team expectations and standards
- clarifying roles, accountability and structure
- defining what “good” looks like in your role
- identifying key cultural shifts
- restructuring around a new direction
This becomes your working plan - not something that sits on a shelf.
4. Ongoing advisory and support
Don’t wait for the next session when something important comes up.
You have access to:
-support between sessions for time-sensitive decisions
- space to test your thinking before acting
- ongoing challenge, feedback and accountability
- always focused on what matters most in your role right now.
You leave each interaction with:
- clear decisions
- direct feedback
- a plan for what to do next
Not just solving today’s challenges - but building how you think, decide and lead over time.
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 and rewire my way of thinking, and that’s what inspired me to move into the science of Positive Leadership – I knew there had to be a better way. After completing my masters study of positive psychology in leadership and strategy, I help leaders redefine what high-performance looks like in their day-to-day and into their future.

Your investment in positive psychology-led leadership: $6,500 + GST for 6 month package.
Leaders aren’t trained overnight, just like one gym session won’t turn you into an ironman (I wish!). Becoming a better leader will happen incrementally, so individual coaching agreements require a minimum 6-month commitment.
Level Up faster by choosing the Intensive option. Package is as above, with 6 additional sessions, so our sessions become fortnightly (instead of monthly), $10,000 +GST

“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 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.
-
Typically corporate leaders, small business owners and aspiring leaders. Previous clients include members from an executive team in a technology company, CEO of a environmental company, a high school principal, CEO of an advertising company of 10 people, COO of a large construction company, owner of a photography education small business, head of people and culture, mid-level doctors, engineers, head of technology.

-
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 leadership strategy and decide on the best tool for your personalised leadership profile. After this, sessions are held monthly and will work through your leadership plan, focusing on your specific mix of strategy, leadership education and accountability.
-
How great that they’re invested in your development. If your boss wants an active say in your coaching, then our first and last session are ‘triangulation’ meetings. In this we set goals as a group (you, your boss and myself). Then the coaching sessions are just the two of us. I keep strict confidentiality in these sessions. I will not share the content with your boss. This needs to be agreed in the first meeting. Without confidentiality the coaching relationship is jeopardized. The last session we again have a ‘triangulation’ session, where you’ll share your outcomes with your boss (but not the personal path to get there). This is very standard in coaching, and participants have experienced great success.
IS THIS PROGRAM RIGHT FOR YOU?
Step into your strengths, disrupt your way of leading and become the leader you’ve always wanted to be, with a team that looks up to you and WANTS to give you their all.
1:1 Mentoring is for you if you want to:
Become the leader you’ve always wanted to be, with a team that looks up to you and WANTS to give you their all.
Partner with a supportive and honest coach who has your best interest at heart.
Unpack your personal barriers and challenges and overcome them.
Make big moves without second-guessing yourself and lead yourself and your people with confidence.

Not so much if you:
Aren’t ready for change
Think your leadership is just fine and everyone else is the problem (hint: it’s often a bit of both).
Prefer to continue firefighting because it’s impossible to see another way (hint: I know it feels this way, but I promise there IS another way)
