Kate Downey-Evans
In a VUCA world, which requires us to be much more adaptable, resourceful and creative, neuroplasticity has never been more critical. I have a background in neuropsychology and love the emerging acceptance and application of this in the business world, leading me to re-consider what this makes possible for individuals, organisations and society.
Kate is specialised in interventions that are integrated with business outcomes, particularly those that require individuals to work across boundaries and with challenges where there is no obvious solution. Kate is driven by an intention to create profound impact at individual, organisational and societal levels and is guided by a focus on activating human potential as a force for good. She brings to her work an attitude of positivity and a belief in possibility and takes an approach to life and leadership that is grounded in sustained wellbeing.
Kate is simply wonderful to work with. She has high energy and creates the most creative and applied business psychology focus. She brings technical excellence to every solution.
