Coaching & strategic guidance for women entrepreneurs

Welcome!

I’m Katharine Campbell Hirst, an entrepreneurship coach dedicated to helping women realize their biggest visions by harnessing exponential strategies and unlearning the stories constraining their vision, energy, and power.

The result? A business you can’t wait to get up in the morning and grow.

My work brings together three essential elements

  • Mindset

    We succeed in the areas of life where we expect success. Confidence is critical. I’ve honed my skills over many years learning from exceptional coaches and teachers and use powerful, fast-acting techniques to help clients shift limiting beliefs and tap into their natural fire and deeper purpose.

  • Strategy

    Entrepreneurship is an invitation to carve your own path, an opportunity to discover your personal cheat codes and build companies that genuinely empower ourselves, our team and our clients. This is the work of learning how the game is played, keeping only what serves you and forging something new. My clients come to me for support in discovering their personal avenues to wealth, impact, and ultimately, joy and freedom.

  • Communications

    Nothing attracts investors, converts clients, or aligns a team more powerfully than a showstopping vision and a clear articulation of how you’ll get there. Entrepreneurs work with me to create bold, inspiring pictures of a better future and powerful business and communication strategies that propel growth and impact.

Are you ready to make 2024 your best year yet?

Do you want to articulate more powerful ways of growing your business? To discover paths to success grounded in integrity? To be guided by your unique compass of purpose and passion?

It’s time for you to create more impact, make more $$$ and have more fun.

A little more about me…

I support women to thrive and build businesses that they love to lead through uncommon strategies that bypass the grind and powerful soulful conversations that reconnect them to their deepest gifts.

In addition to multiple coaching qualifications, I’ve spent over 15 years working with many of the most successful entrepreneurs in the US and Europe - including Tory Burch. In my last corporate role before becoming a full-time coach and writer, I led Brand Communications for Tory, helping her craft the messages she shared during the pandemic.

I’m on a lifelong quest to uncover and rewrite the operating principles of entrepreneurship and I share what I’ve learned through my 1:1 coaching and group workshops, in my writing on LinkedIn and my newsletter.

Currently, I’m synthesizing a new handbook for feminine entrepreneurship through interviews with some of the most successful women founders and creators of our time (check out The Baubo Project).

I’m honored to be an Advisor to the Tory Burch Foundation Fellows program and the New York Fashion Tech Lab.

What entrepreneurs are saying:

  • I've been in business for seven or eight years, and I've worked with a lot of coaches. What I identified in my ongoing coaching with Katharine is that her zone of genius is very quickly understanding you as the business owner, what your zone of genius is, and what your capacity for further impact is. I think that's really exciting. It's very hard to find people who are business savvy enough, but also intuitive enough to see things that you don't always see, or articulate things that you've actually struggled to put into words.

    CEO and Founder, PepTalk Her

  • I strongly recommend anyone work with Katharine, she reaches deep inside you and helps you pull out exactly what you need - your best and highest self. 

    DANI ALEXANDER
    Principal, Studio AKA

  • Katharine is a gifted visionary. She just gets entrepreneurs. She helped me wade through the mud and highlight a massive leverage point. I feel inspired and empowered with clear actionable steps. Working with Katharine has made a tremendous difference.

    TIFFANY CHAN
    Founder, Higher Love

  • Katharine has changed the way I talk, walk, and speak about myself and my business. She helped me see my value and to see that I am the right person to be the CEO of my business.

    SUZANNE SINATRA
    Founder and CEO, Private Packs

  • Katharine has a remarkable gift for intuitive clarity, and her ability to guide and support others is unparalleled. What most struck me was her ability to intuitively connect to me and my mission. She immediately got my business. It was like she was in my head. I highly recommend working with her if you're seeking transformation, alignment, and the realization of your fullest potential. 

    LISA HAUKOM
    Founder, Creative Director, Photographer, The Goldenbrand

  • Working with Katharine nurtured a confidence I was lacking to promote myself and encouraged me to believe in the unique value I deliver for clients. I have the permission I need to lean into what feels most aligned with who I am and my unique business that blends storytelling, strategy, and social impact.

    LAURA NESPOLI
    Founder, Meshin Movement

  • “Katharine intuitively gets the big existential multi-hyphenate questions: How do all my businesses fit together? Which version of me do I introduce when I meet someone new? Which part should show up on my TikTok? How do I prioritize my time and my energy?

    AMAL ALHUWAYSHIL
    Founder, I'm All Courage

  • Katharine has a masterful ability to jump right to the core of the problems you are facing and to provide not only insightful feedback but also actionable solutions and creative next steps to consider. I deeply appreciated the frameworks she provided, her fresh - and human-centric - perspective, and especially her intuitive approach. I can't recommend her enough!

    AMY VANHAREN
    Founder and CEO, Pumpspotting

“I work with women as our experience of entrepreneurship is fundamentally different to men. We start with a different inheritance, the world responds to us differently, and our gifts are different. We need to be able to go toe-to-toe with the guys when it’s called for AND to lean into our feminine so we do things differently. We’re in business not just to make money, but to build new kinds of companies that make our world better.”
