Katie Dean is not your typical motivational coach, or a typical anything. She’s a writer and published author, motivational maven and the woman you want on your team. Katie is a new thought mindset mechanic, a researcher on how to debunk fear and is here to shine a light for women seeking confidence, clarity and courage. She does all of this whilst being a solo Mum to two beautiful boys, the absolute loves of her life. 

With a refreshingly no BS approach, she uses an interactive speaking style: humour – her worldly insights and tools to take her audience on an epic path of bravery and self-discovery. When you find yourself in the audience of one of Katie’s events you know you are in for inspirationally filled a-ha moments that create real change.  

Through her booked out coaching, national speaking tours, live events and loved-up writing, she is hell bent on lighting people up, laughing loudly and has created a successful business to help women unearth their bravery.
