From overwhelm to clarity
Executive coaching for women in AI governance, biosecurity, global health and beyond
If you are…
A woman working on pressing global problems in AI governance, biosecurity, global health or similar fields
Talented but often second-guessing yourself
Overwhelmed by day-to-day urgency
Feeling stuck and unsure how to move forward
Looking for structured, evidence-based coaching that creates results
…You’re in the right place.
With the personal support of a coach & cheerleader who’s got your back, you’ll be on track to make your greatest contribution to the world, without the overwhelm and burnout.
What's possible
The women I work with typically experience one or two significant shifts:
Some get clarity on their priorities and finally stop saying yes to everything
Others learn to trust their judgment and stop seeking validation
Many finally make progress on projects they've been stuck on for months
The specific changes depend on where you're starting and what matters most to you.
What my clients say…
“I came away from every single conversation with Katie re-invigorated, a bit more confident, and ready to take on the challenges I want to address most.”
“Katie is excellent at what she does, she is an incredibly good listener and provides insightful feedback. She also holds you to account on what you say you will do, which is very motivating if you want to stay on track with your goals.”
“What I appreciated about working with Katie was how we looked at my personal and professional growth in a comprehensive way - giving my thoughts and aspirations more structure and clarity.”

How I work
I use evidence-based tools from behavioral science, adapted for women in complex, emergent fields. We focus on building five key capacities:
Self-trust — making decisions without excessive second-guessing
Clarity — knowing what matters to you
Goal achievement — turning ideas into action
Resilience — recovering quickly from setbacks
Strategic navigation — reading situations and positioning yourself well
This is a structured approach to recognizing the capabilities you already have and building the ones you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes - I offer a sliding scale of discounts for people with financial constraints. If you’re an academic, early-stage entrepreneur, grantee, unemployed, or on an LMIC salary, I’d be happy to explore whether there’s a way for us to work together at a rate that feels more accessible. Let’s talk!
-
Although I’d love to help everyone, I can’t accept clients who aren’t the right fit. This is who it's NOT for…
People with active, unmanaged mental health challenges (- this is not a replacement for professional mental health interventions such as therapy or medication)
People who don’t have the capacity to commit to a 6 month process that requires an investment of time, energy and focus
People who aren’t working (or excited to work) on solving pressing global problems & creating a positive future for humanity
People wanting to work with a ‘hardcore’ coach who will punish them
People who are happy with where they’re at and don’t feel like they need to make any major changes

My target audience is women because I expect it’s my comparative advantage to support this demographic. However, if you’re male, non-binary or otherwise don’t identify as a woman, and you like my vibe, I’d still be happy to consider working with you, so feel free to get in touch!
