TESTIMONIALS
“Kate was recently engaged by Optus Business to speak at a recent staff forum for staff based in Melbourne. The event was a huge success and we have had an abundance of positive feedback post her appearance. Kate is an incredibly warm, motivating, and authentic person, with a strong sense of self, that comes across incredibly well when she is speaking and engaging with others. We found our people really connected with her, and it allowed for a very interactive session, which was great to see, and exactly what we had hoped for. Kate’s honesty and willingness to be open about sharing her story in a very authentic and articulate way resonates well with others and allows her to form connections with audience members easily, and well. The trials and tribulations Kate has faced along the way and her resilience and ability to rise above and continue to achieve her goals and succeed is quite extraordinary and incredibly motivating to hear about. A very engaging and motivating speaker, with a sharp wit and real sense of humour, I would thoroughly recommend engaging Kate for any speaking engagements or appearances with an audience of any size.” OPTUS, Senior Management
