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.

I GOT YOU

Leadership development should be as unique as you are.

Say goodbye to traditional coaching and mentoring methods – I do coaching differently. My coaching sessions seamlessly blend creativity, skill-building, and a touch of fun to elevate your leadership journey.

The only way to grow as a leader is the way that's right for you. You can read all the books, listen to all the podcasts and subscribe to all the newsletters you like, but the most effective way to make real improvements is through ongoing and individualised conversations.

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?

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.
