Trusted by change leaders in world-class organizations like:
You’re a thoughtful, intentional leader with a vision for creating a culture of continuous improvement and problem-solving that’s woven into your organization’s DNA, especially as it grows and scales.
But things aren’t working the way they should.
Gaining traction with senior leaders has been harder than expected.
You’ve made progress with continuous improvement tools and processes, but now it feels like you’ve hit a wall and are feeling that something essential is missing.
The problem isn’t the tools and processes— Lean, Agile, SixSigma, DevOps — but they only take you so far.
The missing pieces?
People. And the conditions for learning.
And that's where I come in
Through custom learning experiences and support, I’ll help you and your leaders develop the behaviors and systems needed to embed continuous improvement into your culture—creating a people-first learning organization that grows and thrives for the long run.
You’ll get:
People-centered approach to lean that actually delivers the sustainable culture change you want, leading to higher productivity AND customer and employee engagement.
Proven continuous improvement and operational excellence best practices, influenced by my years working in Japan and experiences as an operational excellence leader and consultant.
Practical frameworks and tools, making what you learn immediately actionable and easy to apply.
My positive energy, ensuring your learning experiences are engaging and inspiring.
We were able to take our culture change to the next level of improvement because of working with Katie. Leadership performance has improved because of Katie’s teaching style and how she got our people to think outside the box and to challenge themselves – results we could not have gotten on our own.
Our improvement team is making a bigger impact on our organization because of the training and coaching we received from Katie. She helped us to transform from being focused on tools to a principle and behavior-based model, which enabled us to approach change in a more systematic way. Now, we have a consistent and simplified coaching process that we can use to develop leaders and how to cascade these principles and behaviors across the organization.

We had made great strides in Lean deployment, but the key challenge was getting leaders to move beyond tools and adopt the deeper principles of Lean and leadership. Katie’s approach was exactly what we needed. Her clear, customized Leading to Learn® framework reinforced what we were doing and built my confidence that we’re on the right path. Leaders across the organization are already applying the principles, and the shift we’re seeing in behavior is exactly what’s needed to sustain a culture of operational excellence for the long term.
Katie’s approach gave us a practical framework to cut through the overwhelming mix of management methodologies and focus on what really matters: aligning leadership, learning, and continuous improvement. Her trainings and insights helped us initiate a new strategy deployment process, and we are now seeing real shifts in how continuous improvement is understood and integrated within the organization.
At 3S Health, our province-wide lean rollout was intense—pushing processes and driving results. I hit a wall, exhausted from focusing on structure over people. Katie’s approach was the missing piece. Shifting to focus on experience transformed relationships, improved conversations, and made us better listeners. I rediscovered my confidence and joy in leading.
