Kate Lee
ACC, MBA, MA, MPH
The most powerful change begins with conversations that matter. I coach leaders who are navigating complexity, defining what’s next, and ready to lead with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
With a background in strategy, organizational leadership, and communication, I bring a human-centered approach to coaching—one that blends bold inquiry with practical action. I help clients uncover patterns, challenge assumptions, and align their vision with meaningful progress.
Over the years, I’ve authored more than 50 business school case studies for institutions such as Harvard Business School, Columbia Business School, and Stanford Graduate School of Business, interviewing top leaders to uncover the stories behind their strategic decisions. I’ve also built and led organizations, managed global teams, and guided high-stakes initiatives—experience I now bring to every coaching conversation.
Whether you’re navigating a transition, growing your influence, or reimagining success on your own terms, I provide a thoughtful, strategic space to reflect, act, and grow. Together, we’ll sharpen your communication, strengthen your decision-making, and build a leadership presence that feels both effective and authentic.
I’m an Associate Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation and hold a certification in Brain-Based Coaching from the NeuroLeadership Institute. I’m currently completing my PhD in Ethics and Business, and I hold an MBA in Strategic Leadership, a Master of Public Health in International Health, and a joint Master of Arts in International Relations and Environmental Policy.
Here's what Kate's clients are saying...
“With Kate’s dynamic and caring coaching style, I’ve reached goals and insights I hadn’t thought possible. In every session, she has helped me focus on the most important aspects of my personal and professional goals, overcome obstacles, and take action. Kate is genuine, energizing, easy to laugh with, encouraging, and thought-provoking. I can’t say enough in just a few words. I’ll forever be grateful for every coaching session with Kate.”
“Kate has an amazing ability to coach, encourage, energize, and achieve results for her clients. She’s done it for me on numerous occasions. A few years ago, she gave me the confidence to shape and craft my dream job within an organization I had worked for several years. With her guidance, I proposed and moved into that new role. She supported me in building out the role and navigating relationships to drive success for the organization and me. Then, life happened: I got married, moved to a new house, new location, had two tough pregnancies and a growing family. Kate was there for me through it all and then helped me realize that my “dream job” doesn’t have to be static. It can ebb and flow as my life does. While I loved my work and coworkers, aspects of my job were putting undue stress on me and my family. From there, she supported me through the decision, confidence, and steps to transition into a new role at a new organization. It’s been a relief and a blessing (and a bump in pay!). Every time I work with Kate, I feel refreshed and eager to take that next step toward making my life even better. She helps me realize my own potential and resiliency. She helps me see the “ands” instead of the “buts.” She is supportive, positive, truthful, and caring. Kate is an amazing person to have in your corner. I can’t recommend her highly enough. If you haven’t worked with her yet – do it! You won’t regret it.”
