Your people aren't the problem. The structure isn't carrying its weight.
I make work less work.

Katherine Robinette helps leaders make work less work.
Leaders come in with real problems --
And together, leaders get real solutions that work with and for them.
Katherine doesn’t ask leaders to exert more effort, take on blame, or be the bad guy. She shows them how to lead differently, so the structure finally carries the load its supposed to, and leaders are freed up to lead they way they mean to.
See the work clearly
Cut through symptoms to identify what’s actually shaping decisions, behavior, and results.
Redesign without disruption
Make targeted system shifts that improve clarity, trust, and momentum — without burning everything down.
Turn conviction into action
Equip leaders and teams with practical tools that change how work moves, not just how it’s discussed.
Let's explore what's possible.

I help leaders drive bold goals. You don't need permission - you need to do the next, right, hard thing.
Leadership cultures are shaped less by what leaders say — and more by what they leave unsaid.
In this keynote, leadership strategist Katherine Robinette shares a personal leadership experience that reveals how silence from leadership unintentionally creates armored workplace cultures — and how trust can be rebuilt. Katherine Robinette makes work less work by helping leaders create organizational wayfinding so people don’t get lost in the system and can focus on their actual work.
Creator of the Trust A.C.T.s™ Framework, Katherine helps leaders communicate with Authority, Contribution, and Truth — the building blocks of intentional trust-based leadership.

The essential center stone of an arch. The piece that makes everything make sense and ties both sides of the arch together. The bridge and connector. Without the keystone, the weight of either side collapses in on itself.
With it, a whole structure is upheld.

One of the most intelligent birds, the raven has language, community, memory, and relationships.
It is able to make and adapt tools to solve complex problems.
It teaches others what it knows so they can thrive together.
(KAR are also Katherine's initials!)
