Stop overlooking your best asset.
The ambition is there. The talent is there. What's missing is the investment. Ambitious women are still one of the most overlooked groups in leadership... not because they lack capability, but because most organisations haven't built the conditions for them to stay and succeed.
I work with companies across Australia, New Zealand and beyond to change that. Whether you're trying to close the leadership gap, retain your best people, or build a culture that doesn't burn people out — this is where we start.
I partner with people leaders who want to:
-
Build powerful leadership pipelines and not just diverse headcounts
-
Retain and advance ambitious women before they walk out the door
-
Equip HR and P&C teams with data and strategies that move the needle
-
Stop asking people to choose between ambition and a life
Hear what your working mums really want.
The 2025 Ambition Report
Get exclusive insights from 300 Australian knowledge worker mums, tailored to your sector and team profile. Developed in partnership with Honeycomb Insights & Strategy, this study reveals their priorities, challenges, and coaching needs.
It gives you the intelligence you need to support, engage, and retain valuable talent and emerging leaders.
Why partner with Coach Kat?
Ambitious women are already driving your business. This is about making sure your organisation is driving them forward too.
Here's what it delivers
Your best women stay
Stop losing female talent at the moments that matter. Keep them engaged, progressing, and invested.
Women move into leadership
Not just "development opportunities". Real progression, real visibility, real influence at every level.
Your culture earns the women in it
Flexibility is table stakes. This builds something deeper, a place where ambitious women don't have to choose between career and life.
Working mums come back stronger
Maternity leave doesn't have to mean a step back. The right support turns it into a launchpad.
Your pipeline reflects your talent
Female leadership doesn't happen by accident. It's built deliberately, and it shows in the numbers.
Amplified business results
Invest in talent that impacts revenue, innovation, and organisational growth.
We use our Discovery Call to clarify your objectives and design a program that delivers sustainable outcomes for your organisation.

Customised programs to support your team members individually.
I offer a range of 1:1 coaching options for organisations — from 4, or 6 session packages designed for targeted development, through to 6–12 month retainers for deeper, ongoing support. Packages are tailored to your organisational context and can be negotiated based on the number of team members involved.

Whether it’s a leadership conference, marquee event, team offsite, or strategy day, I facilitate and deliver engaging sessions that challenge assumptions, share data-driven insights, and inspire meaningful action.
Frequently asked questions
Can the content be tailored to our sector or organisation?
Absolutely. All sessions, workshops, and keynotes are customised using insights from my proprietary research and aligned with your organisational context, culture and objectives.
How long do workshops or training programmes typically take?
Workshops are usually 4 or 6 hours. Tailored training programmes usually run over 4–6 weeks, with multiple 90-minute sessions plus self-paced exercises in between to embed learning.
Can you provide actionable outcomes for our business, not just insights?
Yes. Every programme is designed to generate practical strategies, tools and recommendations that your leaders and teams can implement immediately to retain, advance and support ambitious women and emerging female leaders.
Do you offer support beyond the session itself?
For tailored programmes and workshops, yes — I provide supporting exercises, discussion prompts, and materials to help embed the learning, and can also offer follow-up sessions if required.
How do I find out more?
Book a complimentary 45-minute discovery call. This is an opportunity to meet, understand your objectives, identify preferred services, and agree next steps. It's easy, just click on the link.
What are your invoicing terms?
Depending on the duration and nature of the engagement, most organisational programs are paid 50% upfront and 50% paid upon completion.
What's your refund policy?
For organisational programs, the initial 50% deposit is non-refundable, as it secures your place and my time. If you need to cancel after the program has started, the balance of the invoice will not be charged provided cancellation occurs before the halfway point of the program.
Do you guarantee results?
While I do guarantee exceptional service, it's not possible to guarantee specific outcomes. By submitting your payment, you acknowledge that any actions or decisions you or your employees take during or after the program are your responsibility, and you agree to indemnify Kat Francis for any impact on yourself or your business.
