Hey, I'm Kate Horton.

Kia ora, I'm Kate.

Middle leadership roles have always found me. From being Vice Captain of the St Paul's Collegiate Open A netball team, to Associate Principal at Endeavour Primary School; I've always loved opportunities to lead from the middle.

I turned my experience and passion for middle leadership into a career where I get to help aspiring, new and experienced middle leaders across Aotearoa to rock their roles.

Along the way, I've picked up a Post Grad in Leadership from the School of Ed at Waikato University, got an accreditation with the International Coaching Federation, become a Certified Coaching Professional through Well College Global ... and while we're getting to know each other, I'm a Scorpio if that's important to anyone too.

Zoom Coaching

For a more traditional experience, we can jump on Zoom for one-on-one coaching.

These sessions are not your typical coaching conversations. They are dynamic, engaging, and, most importantly, effective.

Leadership breakthroughs happen when you take time to experiment and bounce ideas around. You'll be blown away with the ideas you uncover through coaching.

Here's a bunch of places where I've sprinkled some Coaching CoLab magic

What sets me apart?

O.k, first things first,

Yes this was my actual hair for two years. I'm creative, spontaneous a a little bit hectic. I also have a friend who is an excellent hairdresser, so I tend to get a bit experimental because life is short, you may as well have fun with it.

That's also the vibe I bring to my coaching.
