With a background spanning legal and policing lecturing and research, executive coaching and business ownership, Kate brings a rare mix of grounded practicality, a way of simplifying complexity, and real-world experience to the stage or workshop space. She holds a PhD in law and forensic criminology, trained as a coach in 2016, is a TEDx speaker and Head Coach and Co-Curator at TEDxHobart, and runs her leadership development and coaching business, Human, Actually, alongside sole ownership of a yoga and Pilates studio in Hobart called Udara.
Having worked across law, academia, policing, movement, and business, Kate has a deep understanding of how people communicate, lead, and make decisions under pressure - and what it takes to build courage, boundaries, and self-trust when things feel uncertain. Her perspective is holistic because her life and work has been designed that way.
She's also a mum of two, has far too many pets, and lives by the beach in southern Tasmania. She knows what it means to try to balance life, leadership, and legacy while staying sane - and, more importantly, well. It's not easy. But it is intentional.
