Hi, I’m Katie Glass

My mission is to enable women working on pressing global problems to maximise their impact and thrive at work, because I believe that doing good should feel good too.

After 14 years across the start-up, tech and non-profit sectors, I understand what it takes to navigate complex, high-impact environments. I now specialize in supporting the professional development of mission-driven women who are ready to step into their full potential.

Relevant Background:

  • Professional coaching training (CTI, ACE accelerator, ADD Coach Academy)

  • Training in AI Governance & Biosecurity (Bluedot Impact)

  • Design thinking facilitation (Hasso Plattner Institute) & UX research (Google)

  • Ongoing personal research into what creates lasting behavioral change and methodology development based on almost 1000+ hours of coaching.

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

    If any of these sound like you, feel free to check out the other professionals listed here.

  • 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!
