Leadership and Career Coaching for Women
“I’m deeply committed to helping women chart meaningful, fulfilling careers—whether that means rising into leadership, pivoting in a new direction, or reconnecting with their values.”
- Kate Hopper, Founder & Principal Coach
The She Ascends Coaching Advantage
Women today are not just climbing the ladder—we’re redefining what it means to lead, live, and succeed on our own terms. Yet, more often than not, many are finding themselves feeling burned out, disconnected, or uncertain about what’s next.
Whether navigating major career transitions, recovering from burnout, or stepping into new levels of leadership, the path forward is rarely linear. The pressure to achieve while staying authentic, balanced, healthy, and aligned with personal values is real—and often invisible.
She Ascends Coaching exists to support women at this intersection: where ambition meets misalignment, where clarity is craved, and where a new chapter is ready to begin. This is values-based, whole-person coaching designed to reconnect women to their energy, purpose, and voice—so they can live and work with clarity and alignment.
Clients come to She Ascends Coaching to:
Break Through Barriers: Uncover and address the internal narratives and external systems that limit progress, confidence, or clarity.
Reconnect to Purpose: Realign career and life decisions with core values, strengths, and a deeper sense of meaning.
Rise into Leadership: Develop the mindset and strategy to grow into leadership roles that feel powerful and sustainable.
Increase Confidence and Amplify Presence: Build executive presence, sharpen communication, and boost influence.
Navigate Career Transitions: Step into leadership or pivot into new roles or industries with confidence and clarity.
Restore Energy and Reignite Vision: Move from burnout to grounded momentum—rebuilding a foundation of wellness, clarity, and forward motion.
Every woman’s journey is unique. The coaching experiences at She Ascends—whether through signature programs like The Career Navigator or The Leadership Accelerator, or through custom 1:1 engagements—are designed to honor that individuality. This is coaching that supports the whole woman behind the title, helping her rise with purpose, clarity, and alignment.
About Kate
For over two decades, I have successfully navigated the complexities of highly competitive, male-dominant industries like big tech and finance at companies including Google and Robinhood, rising quickly into senior leadership positions.
It certainly wasn’t an easy, straightforward journey. Systemic corporate issues aside (and believe me, there were plenty), it was actually through the help of an executive coach that I discovered a few unforeseen roadblocks holding me back from my aspiring leadership goals, namely: perfectionism, lack of self promotion, and poor delegation (for fear of overburdening my team). All of this led to burnout and feelings of overwhelm and frustration. Through partnership with my coach, I was able to address these barriers head on and confidently (and healthily) achieve my lofty career goals.
Witnessing firsthand the challenges that many women face sparked a fire within me. Now, as an ICF Certified Executive Coach specialized in Women's Leadership and Career Development, I draw upon my corporate experience, innovative research, and the collective wisdom of other women leaders to help others overcome obstacles and thrive in their careers. My coaching style is warm and empathetic combined with the ability to ask bold, insightful, and sometimes tough questions, holding my clients accountable and keeping them on track to accomplish their goals.
I’m on a mission to help more women step into leadership and build careers that are fulfilling and aligned with their values—and to ensuring they’re well supported every step of the way. Please do reach out, I’d love to learn more about your journey and help you get to that next level in your career.
Always here for you,
Kate
