Leadership and Career Coaching for Women
“I’m deeply committed to helping women make confident career moves—whether that means stepping into leadership, pivoting in a new direction, or showing up with greater influence.”
- Kate Hopper, Founder & Principal Coach
The She Ascends Coaching Advantage
Women today are redefining what it means to lead, live, and succeed on their own terms. As careers grow in scope and responsibility, many high-achieving women find themselves navigating increasingly complex decisions about leadership, direction, and what’s next.
Whether stepping into expanded leadership roles, navigating career transitions, or seeking greater clarity and impact, the path forward is rarely linear. Balancing ambition with authenticity, performance with sustainability, and professional success with personal priorities requires intentional reflection and strategy.

About Kate
For over two decades, I’ve built and led teams in highly competitive, innovative, and fast-moving industries including big tech and finance, holding senior leadership roles at companies such as Google and Robinhood. My career has been shaped by operating in complex environments where sound judgment, trust, and execution at scale matter.
Along the way, I invested intentionally in my own leadership development, working with an executive coach to sharpen how I show up as a leader—particularly around delegation, influence, and sustainable performance. That experience strengthened my effectiveness, resilience, and ability to lead high-performing organizations while supporting long-term growth, both for myself and those I manage.
Today, I am an ICF-Certified Executive Coach specializing in leadership and career development. I draw on my firsthand experience in senior roles, ongoing professional research, and proven coaching frameworks to support individuals navigating growth, transition, and increased responsibility. My coaching style is thoughtful and direct—grounded in empathy, clarity, and accountability.
I’m deeply committed to developing strong, capable leaders and helping professionals build meaningful, impactful careers. Whether through corporate leadership or coaching, my focus remains the same: enabling people to perform at their best while navigating complexity with confidence and intention.Always here for you,
Kate
