You’re driven. You’ve worked hard. You’ve ticked all your career boxes…
But now you’re at the top of the boardroom staring down the barrel of burnout, exhaustion and dragging your team over the finish line one-handed.
you do the same as you’ve always done, but fear and loneliness has creeped in.
your team don’t seem motivated or aligned with your company strategy anymore..
you’re working harder and longer hours to compensate for the lack of output.
you’ve let your work get in the way of your health, your relationships and your happiness.

What if I told you there was an easier way?
A way that improves your leadership skills, takes work off your plate and inspires a team who looks up to you and wants to give you their all…
You’re not usually one to second-guess yourself, but you’re beginning to doubt your leadership skills.
Whether you’re nervous about hiring new people for your team. Or learning and implementing unknown systems to streamline your processes, and getting unmotivated staff on board with them too. Just when you think you’re on top of your work, a pile of work is stampeding towards you. You’re tired, you’re lost and you’re second-guessing your career.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
Let’s stop…
Being chronically worked and endlessly busy.
Not feeling good enough to lead your team.
Lacking confidence to take control, lead with intention and drive your team forward.
Rolling the dice on a new hire because you didn’t set clear guidelines or guardrails.
Thinking you’ll either sink or swim during busy periods.
Picking up the workload of the rest of your team because you think it’s easier to just do it yourself.
Sacrificing your health and your happiness for a paycheck.
And start…
Finally feeling like a confident and capable leader.
Addressing your challenges and mental barriers and overcoming them.
Enjoying more time with your family and loved ones, or taking more time for yourself.
Leaving the office at a reasonable hour, not grabbing another coffee to get you through.
Cultivating an inspired team who look up to you and want to go above and beyond.
Creating a workplace, a leadership skill set and a team you can be proud of.
Hi, I’m Kate. Director of Zenith Journey

Whether you manage a HR team and are looking for leadership courses for your key people of influence, or you run one or multiple teams within a multi-million dollar company. I’m here to meet you where you’re at, challenge your way of thinking, and teach you practical yet science-backed strategies of positive leadership… and no, I don’t mean whipping out your gold star stickers.

Identify your current challenges and barriers, and learn to overcome them?
Articulate your company’s strategy and get genuine buy-in from your team?
Hire like a pro and build a team that aligns with your company’s strategy?
Learn how to communicate effectively with your team?
Raise the bar for other leaders at your company?
Delegate effectively and increase your team’s collective capacity?
Put more time into planning stuff outside of work… like a holiday?
Leave the office or clock off at a decent hour to spend more time with your partner or your kids?

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 profile tools and 360 degree feedback 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 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.
Here's how I do it...

Strategy
Get a fool-proof strategy and the support that you need to finally feel confident and satisfied within your role, 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 my personal vault of leadership learning materials and scientifically validated tools, templates and frameworks to help you move towards your goals faster. Your time is too valuable to spend figuring this out from square one.
How do I use these to help individual leaders and leadership teams?

Team Leader development programs
I don’t place myself on some pedestal like others might–preaching about all the things you should and shouldn’t do–but meet your team where they are right now. What’s holding you back? What’s working and what isn’t sticking?

Worry that you’ll invest in your leaders, and they’ll leave taking the knowledge with them (hint: what if DON’T invest in your leaders, and they STAY!)
