Strengthen and support your team.
Ambitious working mums are among the most driven, resourceful, and resilient leaders in today’s workforce, yet they remain one of the most overlooked talent pools. Without the right support, organisations risk losing this talent to stalled progression, burnout, or disengagement. Executive coaching and tailored programs for this group don’t just retain talent. They accelerate growth, build leadership pipelines, and strengthen your culture. When organisations invest in helping these women win, everyone wins.
​
I work with organisations across Australia, New Zealand and beyond. From fast-growing SMEs to large corporates, from creative agencies to strategic consultancies, my approach supports people leaders who are serious about:
​
-
Building an inclusive leadership pipeline.
-
Retaining and advancing ambitious women.
-
Equipping People & Culture and HR teams with data and strategies that actually work.
-
Creating workplaces where high-performing parents don’t have to choose between ambition and sustainability.
Hear what your working mums really want.

Five ways to empower your team...​
​
1
Lunch & Learn
Engaging, insightful sessions for ambitious mums inside your organisation. Dads are welcome too!
These sessions blend sector-specific research insights with practical tools and concepts (all tailored to your organisation) to spark conversation, confidence, and connection across your team.
2
Leadership Briefings
Focused, impactful sessions for leaders and managers in your organisation.
These briefings share research insights and support needs of working parents (tailored to your organisation) while sparking discussion on cultural values and practical actions leaders can take.
3
Signature Workshops
Deep dives into the real challenges your teams face.
Interactive, focused, and practical. Workshops equip participants with strategies they can apply immediately, while also building shared language and culture across your business.
4
Tailored Training Programs
Bespoke development journeys over 4–6 weeks.
Multiple 90-minute training sessions, supported by self-paced exercises in between. Perfect for embedding new behaviours and creating lasting impact at scale.
5
Personalised Coaching Programs (1:1)
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.
6
Events, Offsites, and Keynotes
Bring inspiring stories, industry-leading research, and real-world insights to your next event.
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
Who in our organisation should attend your sessions?
It depends on the programme. Leadership team briefings are for executives and senior managers, Lunch & Learn sessions are for ambitious working mums/parents across teams, and workshops or training programmes can include broader cross-functional teams depending on your goals.
​
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.
​
Is it only for mums or can we involve dads too?
While my specialism is working mums, many of the insights and frameworks are equally relevant for dads. If you’d like to expand the remit to include all parents, that’s absolutely possible — the principles of leadership, career growth, and navigating work-life integration apply across the board.
​
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 working mums.
​
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.

​
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.​​
