Starting to think about your next executive move, but need help figuring out where you're going?
And how to get there?
Let's work together to define your value, nail
your pitch, get a fix on the right next step - and
create the plan to make it happen.
Maybe you've hit a ceiling.
Perhaps the company has been good to you but you’re feeling restless..
It's time to make your mark somewhere else.
You might even be asking yourself if it’s somewhere else? Or something else you're after?
Whichever it is, you know you need to get yourself ready for what's next.
Only you're struggling to find the time and the headspace to get started.
You're not sure how to position yourself.
And it's been a while since you've dusted off the resume. And LinkedIn?
Well…
Hello, I'm Kate
And I know that when it comes to figuring out your next move? The further you are in your career, the higher the stakes.
More responsibilities — at home and at work.
More opportunities to make an impact (but not as much time to do it).
And more questions about life... where it's taking you and who it's making you.
These things can take time to answer. And it can be hard to do it on your own.
As a smart person once said 'you can't read the label from inside the jar'.
It's why I love working with talented, senior people.
You may (or may not) know exactly where you're headed.
Whatever your situation, if you're motivated and ambitious to create the next chapter for yourself, I can help you write that story.
Over the last few years, I've worked with senior executives and C-Suite leaders from around the globe.
From Fortune 500s to small start ups
My clients have worked in a range of industries including media, technology, education, aerospace, the arts, renewable energy, financial services and cyber security.
And they've held influential roles in companies of all shapes and sizes - from Fortune 500s through to innovative start ups.
But the thing they all have in common?
They recognise that it's not always easy navigating this kind of path on your own.
And that's where I come in.
I bring the support, structure and accountability to get you moving in the right direction.
So how about we get you on your way?

Clients tell me that it's not just that I help them see
themselves and opportunities differently. It's the support
and accountability I bring so they can turn ideas into action.
“Kate - you've been such a big part of my decision and journey.”
When we first started working together my brain was a blender of new ideas and question marks. All potential and no plan. Your approach was so powerful in unearthing all my motivations and goals in a digestible and actionable way. You made what seemed impossible into a clear decision with conviction and purpose. Forever grateful!
- Chris Wilkes, Ex VP/VC at HearstLab, now consultant to startups (U.S)
“Kate came recommended to me from a friend.”
When I decided it was time to start a new chapter, I found it incredibly challenging. I felt very removed from the contacts and industries I had been in, I felt confused about what I wanted to do, what roles would be a good fit my experience and generally a little lost.
Kate worked with me over a couple of months to help me ask 'What are my core values, my strengths, what was my story?'
It brought me to a place where I could focus on a couple of industries that appealed to me, in roles that would value my skills and bring me the sense of purpose I was looking for.
In January I started my new career in non-profit and my new role as the Executive Director of Beauty Bus, an organization dedicated to providing personal care to seriously ill people. I would highly recommend Kate for anyone looking to change career or start a new path, she gives you the encouragement and support you need and is genuinely passionate about helping people find their purpose.
- Ruth, from Media entrepreneur to Executive Director of a Non-profit (U.S)
“Kate Richardson is an essential resource for any executive that seeks to accentuate their strengths, leverage their experience, and create new opportunities.”
Leading with an approach that drives an executive to a deeper understanding of their capabilities and developing career goals, Kate helps them identify and confidently explore career options that excite and inspire future success. I highly recommend the outstanding coaching of Kate Richardson to any executive interested in growing their brand and expanding their career scope and spheres of influence.
[Happy New Year Kate. I wanted to pass on that I secured my first Board position as Treasurer at California State SHRM. Thanks for all the assistance]

-
Career Design
Get clear on what's important to you and who you are at your best. Define your own version of success for this next chapter. Map the possibilities for what's next alongside what you genuinely want from your career.
-
Branding
We don't focus on your 'what' we focus on your 'so what’. Then we craft a pitch that articulates the unique value you bring and the impact you make. I steer you through a complete upgrade of your executive resume and LinkedIn profile so you can position yourself as a hire value hire for the right opportunity.
-
Strategy
We'll devise a plan that will help you take intentional action and make the most of the limited time you have. We'll define this together - it might include a job search strategy, targeted research, a networking plan, your approach to recruiters, or even a plan to explore going out on your own. Everything you need to move forward in the right direction.
-
Action
I'll help you build your confidence to take action and hold you accountable to the plan we've developed. And when you need additional support in the form of interview preparation or developing a strategic response? I'll be right there.

“As you’d expect, Kate brought all the career coaching skills but in addition she brought two things I didn’t know I needed.
Her process included structure – it held me to account for making progress, and also forced me to consider discrete elements in sequence rather than tackle everything at once in a terrifying blancmanage of panic: considering values separate from strengths for example. But most importantly, my questioning, insecurities and fears were just normal to her.
- Paul, from CEO to interim executive and consultant (Aus)
When I started with Kate, All I really knew is what I didn't want to do.
By the time we finished, we landed on a plan built around tangible and actionable next steps that I couldn't have imagined when we started. Kate has the tools, structure and great chat, to reveal possibilities you didn't know were there.
- Tristan, Chief Strategy Officer
Media (U.S)
I've worked with Executive Coaches before and for me, Kate has been the best.
She's genuinely ambitious for her clients and gave me the structure and support i needed. In Kate, I found a great partner and someone I can trust. She listens, motivates, checks in regularly, and is generous with her networks. For me, working with Kate has been a really positive experience and one of the best investments I've made.
- Elisa, Director at major consulting firm
Public sector (Au)
Kate helped me to not only identify but also to articulate my core strengths
As someone who lacked awareness of the strengths that I bring to an organisation, Kate helped me to not only identify themes but also to articulate my core strengths that I can use in my "elevator pitch" when describing myself to prospective employers or recruiters. Being in career transition, Kate also helped me to narrow down the categories and roles I wanted to consider for my next role, providing tools, insights. questions and valuable advice on how to approach each of the areas I identified that would enable me to make the best decisions in my job search
