Hire Kate
Kate’s presentations resonate with even the most skeptical employees, cutting through the typical “positive thinking” rhetoric that often falls flat. She teaches science-backed techniques that develop resilience skills, empowering her audiences to actively engage in their professional development and tackle challenges head-on to create real, lasting impact on their lives.
Your team doesn’t need just another “motivational speaker”. They need strategies that create change.
In times of stress, the brain will default to negative thinking and survival mode. That’s why just trying to ‘think positively’ isn’t effective. Human brains aren’t naturally wired that way.
Instead, Kate teaches audiences how to work with their brain and overrides biases that typically keep them stuck in anxiety and overwhelm. From this basis of understanding, she helps them build a resilient mindset.
With science backed research along with relatable stories that speak to the heart of being human, Kate flips positive thinking on it’s head. She instead teaches purposeful thinking that drives more productive actions and outcomes.
A fresh perspective on resilience from real-life experiences…
…and a proven three-step strategy for developing it

Bulanaires is a play on the word ''billionaires.'' The initiative promotes that true happiness has nothing to do with having lots of money—but instead, it’s about choosing positivity, resilience, and appreciation for the simplest things. Kate was featured on Arianna Huffington's THRIVE website for her part in the campaign.
