Coach Kate’s Story
BA Communications; Graphic & Web Design (Santa Clara University) | MBA (University of Denver) | Insights for Innovation (IDEO U) | UX Short Circuit (General Assembly) | Positive Psychology Coaching Credential (Mentor Coach, 125 Course Hrs) | International Coaching Federation Professional Certified Coach
Kate Peabody, MBA, is a creative life, career and business coach for bright, successful professionals ready to move beyond inner critic ick to personal confidence, genuine happiness and whole-life satisfaction.
Kate helps her clients rediscover and live as their authentic selves while meeting important goals, connect with and learn from a like-hearted/minded community, and acquire and practice creative, hands-on life-navigating tools.
KaptivateMe is particularly interested in helping vulnerable, creative, smart humans who may be feeling stuck in life and like they've lost track of their true self and passions. As someone who jumped off the top of the Fortune 500 marketing/communications/digital strategy career ladder with no plan after recognizing her original vision of "success" didn't actually feel good or successful at all, Kate has first-hand experience of how powerful purposeful, creative reflection and action is.
Whether that's journaling on feels and goals, using user experience tools to gather your thoughts about your own life and dreams, or breaking out all the art supplies to really imagine and connect with yourself on a deeper level than technology can ever provide - creativity will absolutely boost your confidence.
This human-centered design approach to her life has since become the cornerstone to KaptivateMe’s life and business coaching program because it made such an incredibly positive impact on her life. Kate and KaptivateMe clients are living newly defined versions of success every day, know where they are taking their lives and have the energy and passion to do it. It’s a beautiful thing - we hope you join the fun and ahas.
