Katie Rocker is an executive coach, master facilitator, and Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach with nearly 20 years of leadership experience building teams, driving organizational transformation, and developing leaders across education and corporate sectors. Known for her ability to help accomplished leaders align their natural talents with their most important work, she brings a relational, strengths-based approach that fosters clarity, confidence, and sustainable success.

Katie believes leaders thrive when they lead from their authentic strengths rather than conforming to prescribed leadership models. Her coaching creates space for executives to amplify what they naturally do well, quiet their inner critics, and build the presence and resilience needed to lead effectively under pressure. Drawing on decades of leadership experience, neuroscience, positive psychology, and mindfulness practices, she helps clients translate research into actionable strategies that create lasting change.

Katie works with senior leaders and teams across industries, including Fortune 500 companies like Colgate-Palmolive, financial services firms, technology companies, and nonprofit organizations. Her clients consistently report greater confidence, energy, effectiveness, and well-being. One senior leader shared, "Katie is an amazing, active, and empathetic listener who skillfully identifies specific gap areas and explores them deeply using innovative methods."

Prior to coaching, Katie spent nearly two decades in educational leadership, including 11 years as a division head overseeing operations, strategy, and teams of 50+ professionals. She took on her first senior leadership role at 29, learning early how to navigate the challenges of leading with credibility while building trust across diverse stakeholder groups. Her experience driving strategic initiatives, leading through high-stakes transitions, and developing dozens of professionals revealed her passion for helping accomplished leaders unlock their full potential—a passion that led her to complete executive coaching certifications and launch her practice.

Based in Brooklyn with her family, Katie serves as Vice Chair of the Board for The Experiential Orchestra, a Grammy award-winning nonprofit. She holds degrees from Williams College and Harvard University and draws creative inspiration from music, books, yoga, and nature. She remains deeply committed to the power of human connection and continual growth—both in her own life and in the leaders she serves.
