Coaching Entrepreneurial Leaders

Fueling Your Entrepreneurial Creativity

From bold ideas to scalable success

For the past 20 years, I've helped entrepreneurs and startup teams move from spark to structure—turning creative ideas into real, revenue-generating ventures. Whether you're in the earliest phase of shaping a concept or navigating the growing pains of scaling, we offer tailored support that meets you where you are and grows with you.

As a founder myself, I’ve raised capital, built high-performing teams, and brought products to market—growing my own company from a kitchen-table idea to a national brand that landed in TIME Magazine’s Top Toys of the Year. I know firsthand what it takes to build something from scratch—and how to stay centered and smart while doing it.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need a starting point—and the right partner to help you grow.

Entrepreneurial Services

Whether you’re a solopreneur testing a new idea or a founder scaling your business, our support is designed to meet your unique stage and vision. Click below to learn more:

  • Grow your leadership and clarify your vision as you build something bold.

    As a founder, your mindset, energy, and decision-making are at the heart of your business. Through one-on-one coaching, we work on both the inner and outer work of entrepreneurship—strengthening your confidence, sharpening your focus, and navigating uncertainty with clarity. Whether you're managing burnout, leading a team, or trying to move forward without burning out, this is where growth starts.

    You’ll walk away with clearer priorities, aligned decision-making, and tools to lead with more ease and intention.

  • Turn your idea into something real—with a plan that fits your life and your values.

    You’ve got an idea that won’t let go. Maybe it’s a product, service, or creative offering—but you’re not sure how to get it out into the world. We’ll shape your concept into a viable first version, helping you define your audience, design your offer, and choose the right first steps. You don’t need a 50-page business plan—you need a right-sized roadmap.

    This is ideal for first-time founders, creatives, or anyone building something new alongside a full life.

  • Find your people. Share your story. Start selling.

    Launching into the world doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. We help you define your audience, choose marketing channels that match your style, and communicate your value with clarity. Whether you're building an email list, selling your first product, or refining your messaging, this is about starting smart—not shouting into the void.

    You’ll walk away with a strategy you actually want to implement—and the confidence to do it.

  • Take what’s working—and grow it with purpose.

    You’ve launched, found traction, and know there’s more potential—but scaling a business is a different game than starting one. We help you clarify your growth path, refine your operations, and expand your impact without losing what makes your business meaningful.

    Whether it’s building systems, expanding your audience, or designing new offerings, we focus on scaling in a way that’s strategic, sustainable, and true to your vision. You don’t have to grow like everyone else. We’ll help you grow like you.

  • Transformative ideas emerge when leaders have the space to think boldly. Our interactive workshops help institutions generate new program ideas, refine existing initiatives, and tackle pressing challenges with creativity and strategy. We facilitate structured yet dynamic sessions tailored to your institution’s goals, ensuring actionable outcomes.

“Kate's advice was wildly helpful. She encouraged us to focus on key aspects of our business and gave us the confidence to raise prices. We did so and are in a totally different and better place because of it. While a few former clients fell away, most stayed, and we’ve gotten new ones. We are making more money while doing less overall work than we were a year ago, which is pretty good.”
