Kate has a background in coaching, entrepreneurship, and education. She likes to make sense out of chaos, to synthesize disparate parts into a unified framework. She is a creative pragmatist, an optimistic realist who likes to dream big but can get stuff done. Kate loves the space between the strategic plan and the detailed implementation, that interstitial world where the work is multi-faceted, the destination unknown and where the next steps require both imagination and systematic decision making.
Kate loves coaching people because she believes in nurturing an individual’s own capacity to lead, to wonder, to dream and to build possibilities beyond what they originally thought they were capable of doing.
She holds an MBA from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College and a BA from Macalester College. She lives in Minneapolis with her daughter, two dogs, a hamster, three fish and two snails.

Mary's expertise lies in generating momentum. She leads with infectious energy and an open heart, strengthening relationships and propelling progress. Mary specializes in developing and conducting courses that lead to lasting transformation.
With over 25 years of experience, Mary has worked with individuals striving for excellence in both personal and professional lives. At Innovations in Resilience, they understand the tremendous value of working within a retreat community. They also recognize the impact of one-on-one sessions following their retreats, which can be truly empowering.
Through a diverse range of experiences, including traditional business environments, personal retreats, and one-on-one work, Mary has gained a unique advantage that has contributed to her own growth and understanding. Her ultimate goal is to dismantle the narratives that keep problems in place, hindering fulfillment, satisfaction, and self-nurturing.
