Katie O'Hare, Relationship Systems and Executive Coach

About Katie

I'm a certified Relationship Systems and Executive Coach, working with founders, business partnerships and leadership teams — bringing over two decades of experience across corporate, global and start-up businesses.

I've also sat on the board of a founder-led business, so I know first-hand what it's like to be part of a management team where the relationships in the room directly affect decisions, performance and the direction of the business. It's one of the reasons I'm so interested in what happens between people, not just what happens within them.

My approach is down to earth. I work with the whole team or partnership, or if 1:1, the system surrounding that person. I pay attention to what's happening in the room and use theory without the fluff to surface what's going on beneath the surface.

As one client put it, working with me means there is trust, safety but with the sharpness to read the patterns, tensions and opportunities that makes this experience so different.

My Values

You can count on me for…

Grounded

Down-to-earth, thoughtful and practical. I bring experience without the airs and graces, creating space to be honest and work out what to do next.

Authentic

Warm and straightforward. There's no coaching persona to navigate — just an honest conversation about what matters.

Steady

Years of experience, client work and professional credentials mean I know when to challenge, when to hold back and what will help.

Connection

Relationships are at the heart of my work. I build trust quickly and create an easy space to talk openly about what's really going on.

What Clients Say

In their words

The creative solutions you offer aren't just clever - they are purposeful, grounded, and aligned with what the system genuinely needs. You bring both structure and spaciousness to your coaching.

— NED & company director

We made connections that we hadn't been able to make before, and it raised really interesting questions that had been bubbling under the surface.

— Head of Executive Office

Katie is an intuitive, commercially focused and engaging professional - specialising in helping business leaders really understand and get to the root of what is trying to be solved and why.

— VP People

People valued the space to be honest about things that don't usually get said out loud — the silos, the mixed signals, the patterns that keep tripping us up — and they came away energised rather than defensive, which isn't a given with this kind of work.

— Chief Product & Technology Officer
