KATIE OKEEFFE

Over the last 20 years I have developed my craft in leadership, high performing teams and organisational development. I have worked with many of Australia’s largest and most iconic institutions and organisations to impact transformational change through their leaders and teams. I have extended my background as an elite triathlete and coach with formal research and study in neuroscience and team development and combined all of this into a unique approach to developing high performing leaders and teams.

My ambition is to change the world one team a time through building teams and leaders who perform at their best.

Towards the end of my sporting career, I started coaching and discovered that being at my best meant helping others to be their best. It’s a privilege to work with leaders and teams in business and experience the lasting impact this leaves on people and organisations.

I have worked with many of Australia’s largest and most iconic institutions and organisations to impact transformational change through their leaders and teams. ​​

Some of these include:

•       Designing and leading a groundbreaking research project into high-performing teams. This project has involved over 5 years of research into what defines and makes a high performing team, developing a comprehensive model and assessment and working with a wide range of in-tact business teams over a 6-month project timeline. This research is ongoing, and the initial findings will be published in 2022.

•       Designing and delivering a leadership development program for the IT leadership team at one of Australia’s most iconic manufacturers. This program was specifically designed to build the capability of the leadership team to lead through the unique VUCA conditions presented during Australia’s COVID year in 2020.

•       Strategy execution and agile leadership for to support a whole of business transformation for the procurement and supply chain organisation within one of Australia’s largest telecommunications providers.
