What others say about me
I recently attended one of Kate’s webinars and would definitely recommend working with her. She understands deeply women’s challenges in male-dominated industries and has helpful suggestions on how to address them. She is authentic and engaging and creates a safe and interactive environment for the participants. Thank you, Kate!
I would like to recommend Kate as a fantastic speaker. She has a truly inspirational story that is engaging and connects with the audience. Kate is also a fantastic businesswoman, with a wonderful personality, she is kind, giving and professional. If you are looking for a speaker for your next events – get in touch with her.
Kate has an awesome personality! She has many years of working experience in the hospitality and in the shipping industries, both of which are very multicultural. She was also able to share her knowledge and gave me the ability to deeply understand the underlying issues of cultural misunderstandings in the workplace. Coming from a bicultural background herself, she has the natural ability to provide practical and solution-focused training to the highest standards to any multicultural organisation. I’d recommend her with no hesitation!

It’s rare that you come across such a standout talent like Kate. I have the pleasure of knowing her for a few years, collaborating on several projects. Kate has great knowledge in shipping and I am particularly impressed by her ability to command a room and get people on board with ideas. I know it hasn’t always been this easy but with her development and expertise in women’s Leadership it seems to come perfectly naturally to her. She’s been through some very common obstacles for women in male-dominated environments but still manages to find her voice. Kate is a beam of hope and enthusiasm.
I was working with Kate for two years and I have been following her career since then. I have always admired how hardworking she was, how persistent she is to achieve her goals despite being a mother of two young girls, she has always stayed focus. She believes in the “if I can do it then anyone can” mindset and she is trying to help other people in that direction with her new career path. Her kindness and positive mental attitude is a huge part of that! She has always been an inspiration for me as a modern woman in this high paced world and I believe she is the person you are looking for!
I was lucky enough to bump on Kate’s post for a webinar about women in shipping in which I attended. Kate is very knowledgeable about the insights of the industry, her being for many years in shipping. Those involved in shipping should know that it is a rather traditional business area, where customs are not responsive to modern times. Kate is well equipped with skills to assist overcome these shortcomings and unfold the best version of you at a professional level.
