    • There is a journey to move from chaos to calm in your business and life. The journey is from overworked underachiever to being stunningly successful, as the expansion CEO of your life. Move into a place where you are supporting others in expansion and leadership. You can’t skip any steps, this is the part where you walk the talk.
    • Move from a definition of success based on ego, scarcity, and hyper-individualization to a collective success forged by working in abundance, conscious leadership, and identifying the unique gifts and talents of others. This shift in perspective creates a hyper-accountable conscious leader supporting holistic growth for our industry.

Testimonials

Loved, LOVED your keynote presentation Kathleen Black. Best I’ve seen in a long time. Well done.

Laura Monroe

When I first heard about Kathleen Black and her story I was intrigued and then I had to convince her to let me do a film about her journey. I was determined to resurface her many challenges including all the difficult moments of her past that included witnessing domestic violence, being forcibly committed to a hospital for observation, being kicked out of her house in high school and many other obstacles in order to understand who she is today. Given her path, it makes complete sense to me that now she champions others to find security in homes for themselves and others. The real story I see is of a single woman who refused to give up, who refused mediocrity, who didn’t let emotions get...

I swear Kathleen Black was speaking straight to me about chaos, calm, and success. Saving this gem: women do 3x more work outside the workplace and accept help in the workplace 50% less than men. Very thought provoking talk.

Business as usual is a thing of the past

The Hamilton Spectator

Business can’t go on as usual when something unusual is going on. And, right now that is what business owners, corporate executives and employees are faced with. Inflation, high-interest rates and continued supply-chain challenges have changed the landscape when it comes to sales, customer relations and vendor partnerships. Yet, it is possible to move forward by shifting our mindset from being the most competitive to becoming the most collaborative.

Think Like A CEO To Become A High Performer

Forbes

As a longtime yoga and meditation practitioner, I believe in a holistic approach. Among others, I follow top performance strategist Kathleen Black. I admire (and use) her exercise of having her teams place their hands on their hearts; she calls it grounding yourself in one magic minute. The idea is to reconnect with our truth to give us an inner calmness that is needed when our days are filled with chaos.
