About Kate

Someone once described me as “an unreconstructed community development worker”.

I decided to take this as a compliment. My nearly quarter century of paid work and volunteer experience in the not-for-profit sector has always been about working with groups of people to help them change some small part of the world they live in.  (If you’re curious, here’s more information about my previous work.)

These days most of my work is about helping small not-for-profit organisations work smarter, not harder. I write and deliver low cost, short duration, high impact customised training programs and help small organisations or programs to review and renew their structures, services, programs, plans and toolkits.   Some of my work is done alongside the ‘leadership team, some of it is done for the organisation and sometimes we develop a matrix of coaching, training and tools development – depending on the needs of each individual organisation – because one size never fits all.  (Some people call what I do organisational development – but – to be honest, I’m never sure what to call it!)

When I’m not working on a project (or three) or writing or delivering training programs, I’m working on my own To-Do lists and my next book about community management.
