The work is personal - whether it's helping an organization build a stronger culture, supporting a leader through a pivotal moment, or helping someone land their first job in sports. Here's what people have said about working together.

Leaders & Organizations

Where Culture Meets Performance

For the CEOs, executives, and HR leaders doing the hard work of building great organizations. 

 

"There are some people you're lucky enough to work with who leave a truly lasting impact on your career. Kate is undoubtedly one of them. Her strong leadership and unique, people-first approach were instrumental in our organization's rapid and continuous growth. Kate is a true difference-maker who prioritizes the well-being of those around her and elevates an organization's culture from great to truly special. She would be an invaluable, transformative asset to any company or individual who works with her."


— Marketing Leader, Sports Industry


 "Kate has a rare ability to see the whole system at once — people, performance, culture, and leadership — and translate that into practical insight leaders can actually use. Her perspective is grounded in real-world, high-performance environments, not theory, which is immediately evident in how she thinks, listens, and challenges assumptions. She cuts through noise, names what actually matters, and brings a deeply human lens to decisions that are often overcomplicated or mishandled. Any organization serious about building a people-first culture without sacrificing performance would benefit from her leadership." 


 — Kim Breiland, CEO & Founder, Breiland Consulting Group 

  

"Kate worked tirelessly to support not only our HR team but the entire organization, consistently aligning HR initiatives with business objectives. Her strategic insights, dedication, and passion for people make her an invaluable asset to any organization. Simply put, she's one of the best HR leaders I've had the pleasure of working with."


— People & HR Leader, Sports Industry

Every Story Starts With a Conversation

 Whether you're leading an organization through change, navigating a career transition, or looking for a thought partner who brings both heart and strategy to every conversation — for the organization, the leader, and the person behind the title — let's talk.

Career Transitions

"Your advice was incredibly helpful as I navigated the transition from college to getting my first full-time role. Our conversation and the encouragement you shared truly made a difference."


— Inside Sales Representative, Philadelphia Phillies

"If anyone in my network is thinking about working with a coach, I can't recommend Kate enough. She's helped me navigate change with clarity, confidence, and a lot more calm. Working with a coach can be a game-changer when you're navigating growth or transition. Highly recommend connecting with her if you're looking to level up!"


— Molly Clancy, Executive Recruiter, University of Rochester

"Your guidance was invaluable. Between being a single mom, running my own business, and caring for my elderly parents, finding time to invest in myself wasn't easy—but your encouragement at the Philly Career Fair gave me the confidence to believe a new chapter was possible. Thank you for helping me move forward." 


 — Melissa D., Event Plan

— Early-Career Professional, U.S. Open 

"Kate's advice and guidance gave me a fresh perspective on my career path. Our conversation was genuinely eye-opening, and I left with greater clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of direction. I can't thank her enough for her support and encouragement."


— Stefano G., Cybersecurity, Technology & Business Professional

The Transition Is The Work

Helping former athletes, veterans, recent graduates, and professionals navigate what's next — with clarity and confidence.

Executive Coaching

Sometimes the most powerful leadership work happens one conversation at a time.

"Kate McKinnon is simply unique. During my professional relocation journey to the United States, she has been a constant source of valuable advice, thoughtful guidance, and genuine support. What makes her truly special is the rare combination of professionalism, humanity, kindness, and care she brings to every conversation. I truly want to express my gratitude for her support and guidance during such an important transition."


— Alessandro Noto, International Senior Sports Executive


"Love our sessions. I appreciate the gentle ways you remind me to be kind to myself and to others."


— B.S., Chief Marketing Officer

 

"Just a few months ago, things looked very different. Working with Kate helped me stay focused on my goals and build the confidence to truly articulate my value. I'm thrilled to share that I've accepted a leadership role at Forvis Mazars, a Top 10 accounting firm."


— Nicole Ksiazek, Outsourced Accounting Leader, Forvis Mazars
