Happier People = Happier Places


You know that happier people = happier, engaged, and more productive workplaces. But that’s not always easy to achieve.

Instead, your organisation’s leaders might be saying things like...

"We genuinely care about our people and want to create a healthy culture; we just don’t know how."

"We aren’t able to spend as much time together as a team as we’d like."

"How do we balance profit with purpose?"

"How can we help our people feel empowered and take on more accountability?"

"We’re worried that our business won’t be sustainable if we carry on as we are."

They are not alone.


These are common challenges that leaders and organisations face. To get past them, sometimes all that’s needed is someone objective to help you see the bigger picture, unearth the real issues, join the dots, and help you make positive, long-lasting changes.

I do precisely that and in a way that perfectly complements your unique context.

Your Mission-driven Leadership Development Consultant


Hi, I'm Kate.

I believe that when we create deeper connections with ourselves, with others and with the world around us, we can create places where both people and the planet can thrive.

I help leaders who care about people and the planet to create a culture of healthy growth, so that healthy, ethical organisations become the norm, not the niche in our world.

Imagine a workplace where growth feels calm, considered, and sustainable—not just fast. Where teams feel deep connection and belonging, leaders operate with clarity and confidence instead of stress, and the organisation becomes a dynamic, evolving system that supports all stakeholders, not just the bottom line.

This is what I call healthy growth—a shift from firefighting and short-term thinking to a culture where people, performance and the planet can thrive together.

    I would highly recommend Kate as an executive coach; she is an absolute professional and uses a range of experience and techniques to appropriately support and challenge, which really helped me move towards my development goals.

  • Roland Barzegar
    I would wholly recommend Kate Smith to any business and senior management team in both a 1:1 executive coaching capacity and as a consultant who can help develop leadership teams. As a 1:1 coach, Kate has provided me with great insight, challenge and support to be able to challenge any limiting beliefs that were acting as barriers to resolving issues or achieving goals. This has been so valuable that as I transition to a new senior role in another business, I will continue to work with Kate into the foreseeable future. Kate also provided our senior leadership team with a number of really valuable team development sessions that brought the team together and significantly improved our communication, and removed any silo mentality. I would recommend this development programme from Kate to any leadership team.
