Lead With Purpose

In your business,
at home,
and in your communities

You’ve got a lot going on.

Maybe you're building a meaningful business or career.

Whether that's leveling up at work or stepping into entrepreneurship, you're focused on strategic growth and impact—while building something that aligns with your values and vision for your life.

You’re trying to be fully present with your family, or adjusting to new parenthood. You want to lead your home with intention and in alignment with your values, but some days it feels like you're just keeping your head above water.

Maybe you're a parent.

Or maybe you're feeling that pull to make a difference in your community.

You see opportunities for positive change - at your child's school, in your neighborhood, or beyond - but you're unsure how to meaningfully engage while balancing everything else on your plate.

I get it.

Authenticity.

Purpose.

Sustainable Success.

You're here because you're ready to lead with purpose — whether that's as a professional building something impactful in your career or business, as a parent creating an intentional family life, or as someone called to make a difference in your community.

Your path to purposeful leadership and lasting success is unique to you, and it starts right here.

Hi, I’m Katie,
your whole-life leadership coach.

After fifteen years navigating leadership roles in both public and private sectors - including serving in the San Francisco Mayor's Office of Economic Development - while building a family and maintaining deep community involvement, I've discovered what so many of us learn the hard way: trying to meet external expectations in every domain is the fastest path to burning out in all of them. 


Real leadership is about finding your authentic rhythm and making choices that honor both your values and your energy. It means making confident decisions without guilt, creating systems that actually work for your life (not following someone else's blueprint), and mastering the art of strategic no's to create space for meaningful yes's.


These aren't just nice ideas - they're learnable skills. Skills I've helped countless clients develop, transforming overwhelm into focused impact.

Skills I can help you build too.

  • "My experiences working with Katie have been so validating and uplifting… I set some pretty big goals for this year and I was really nervous about taking the plunge on some of them. Even just verbalizing my goals to Katie and having her help me break them down and manage them was incredibly beneficial. Katie makes everything seem possible, and she really listened to me and all the outside factors I have in my life and gently helped me strategize my next steps. Before I knew it, I was crossing goals off my list left and right! What a wonderful feeling to talk to someone who feels like a friend! Her genuine interest in my success is obvious! I highly recommend!"

    Sarah, Small Business Owner

  • “Katie has the keen ability to ask poignant questions; questions that helped me articulate my vision and professional qualities that I was unable to see and clearly state. I appreciated Katie's listening skills, I felt heard, understood and seen. Her genuine desire for my success was apparent within our first few sessions. I'd highly recommend working with Katie for anyone at a crossroads in their professional life.”

    Irma, Public Sector Leader

  • “My first impression of Katie was one of acceptance. I was nervous going into the meeting but immediately felt engaged and at ease while speaking with Katie. She was able to help me break down what I thought I needed/wanted and eventually discover what I truly needed to focus on to reach my goals. It was a pleasure to work with her every time we met.”

    Wesley, Entrepreneur

  • "I had a wonderful experience working with Katie. She has a very grounded and goal oriented approach. After our session, I had clarity on my next actions to take to navigate my career pivot. I felt uplifted and motivated to take action, thanks to Katie's guidance. When looking for a coach, I think it’s important to find one that is passionate about their work. After working with Katie it’s clear she has a passion to help guide others and that passion is infectious. If you are looking for a coach that is knowledgeable, goal oriented, and passionate about helping others, I highly recommend working with Katie."
