About me…
Hi there! I’m Kate– a writer and a career & mindset coach for artists and creatives. I live on the beautiful island of Bermuda where I get to spend my days working with clients, writing (blogs and books), gardening, and running the Bermuda Philharmonic. I believe that everyone has the right to live exactly the kind of life they have always dreamed of living.
A former professional cellist, I attended the New England Conservatory of Music and was a New World Symphony fellow. I went on to have a thriving freelance career, worked with incredible students, and toured as a solo and chamber musician before pivoting to the online space in 2020. I love discussing ways to navigate the intersection of performance achievement and leadership skills in order to identify and reach one’s potential in life and career.
My (past) performance career.
Part of why I love working with musicians and artists is because until recently, I was one myself! From playing solo recitals to joining my friends as a part of the Grammy award-winning ensemble, Boston Modern Orchestra Project, I loved the thrill of sharing great music with a live audience. I still perform occasionally, but these days, it’s for the pleasure of making music with friends rather than as a primary career.
The discipline and high-stakes nature involved with high-level artistry are qualities that exist in all high-achieving humans, regardless of their career arena. The skills I have learned as a cellist continue to serve me in this 2nd career as a leadership coach and writer.
Coaching Work
I work with clients in both group program format and more personalized 1:1 sessions.
I love helping others find their own unique path to fulfilling their potential.
