Feel your true power.
Fall (back) in love with your business.
Live all out, fully on your own terms.
There isn’t a word for what I do. Coach is a big part of it. Strategist is too. Also, Wordsmith. At its simplest, I connect ideas, stories and people in powerful, unexpected ways. At my core, I’m a healer of women, deeply committed to our freedom.
I believe that when women create, build and love in ways aligned with our full power and our deepest truths then the healing of our world will become inevitable.

They have a sense of a few puzzle pieces of their next chapter, but it’s unclear how these can come together into a holistic vision—or what steps to take to get from here to there.
I support these women as they explore possibilities, listen deeply to themselves, and access their true power.
Ultimately, they create joyful businesses, careers, and lives—fully on their own terms.

Do you feel called to do something you haven’t done before?
Maybe something NO ONE has done before?
(At least not this way, not at this time)
Does the next chapter feel crystal clear? Perhaps intimatingly clear?
Or maybe it’s more of a feeling… you sense a level-up is in the wings, “next year is going to look different but I’m not sure how”
Either way, you’re not sure emotionally, strategically, practically how to get from here to there. And, you’re wondering… maybe a guide could help?
The word coaching means a lot of different things these days. Here’s my take: I believe that you will live the most fulfilling, successful life when you are the most “you” you can be in the world.
My role is to help you uncover what that is and feel free to be that version of you as much as humanly possible. From this place, we’ll lean into your dreams and desires and paint a technicolor vision of where you’re heading next: A vision so alive in your mind and body that doing the work to become the version of yourself that will live that vision feels like the most important thing you could be doing with your time.
And then we’ll build the path from here to there one brick at a time.
At this point in history, women are routinely building lives that go beyond the map. Beyond their lineage, beyond “the done thing” in their industry or their social circle, even beyond their mentors.
The hitch? You do not sail into uncharted waters alone with a nice, tidy linear plan. You gather the right tools, the right team and a bucketload of courage and then you set off seeing your next move and trusting the one after will appear when you need it.
Scary? Oh yes. But better than not trying and not finding out.

Katharine’s counsel is important to me and many people I’ve referred to her have become long-term clients - with much ongoing success.
Meg He
Founder and CEO, Aday
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.
Meggie Palmer
CEO and Founder, Pep Talk Her
Katharine helped me see my value and got down to the core of my values to see that I am the person to be the CEO of my business and that I can have positive meaningful relationships. I don't recognize the woman looking back at me in the mirror and that's because of Katharine.
Suzanne Sinatra
Founder and CEO, Private Packs
Dani Alexander
Principal, Studio AKA
If you’re smart and sophisticated and pretty far along in terms of your self-work, yet nonetheless need help with clarity around your own shit because we’re ALWAYS too close: Katharine is the right guide and thought partner. She gets beyond the stories we already have to the ones we don't have yet -- or the ones that have been suppressed.
Samara Bay
Keynote Speaker and Author of Penguin Random House Bestseller, Permission to Speak
Her sharp perception was able to see straight to the heart of my values and goals as a business and radiate outwards until it hit the self-imposed walls that I could not see, or see beyond, allowing me to expand my vision and start planning to make it a reality. She filled in pieces I didn’t realize I had been missing along the way, helping me to see the bigger picture while uncovering deeper aligned opportunities.
Lisa Haukom
Founder, Creative Director, Photographer, The Goldenbrand
I deeply appreciated the framework 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 typically work with women for 3 hours per month. I offer a one-off 2 hour session if you’d like to go deep on one topic or sample our chemistry.
Everything I do brings a mix of visioning, strategy, coaching, comms plus whatever else feels useful in the moment.

“The Idea Shift speaks to my soul as a female entrepreneur. It's like Katharine's always in my head (and heart) at just the right time. Warm, wonderfully written, and packed full of helpful (often not found) guidance on growing a business.”
