About Me
My name is Kat Klee Olsen and I am a certified Change Consultant & Coach, who is passionate about helping and supporting individuals and groups through transformations. Four days a week I work as a Principal Consultant specialising in change management, facilitation and employee experience. My two professional passions overlap and find that I use similar tools and techniques for coaching and consulting.
I am certified in Life Coaching, however, I am more aligned with the narrative coaching style that focuses on working with people's stories and going through the natural change process.
I chose the name Your Story Coaching for two main reasons. Firstly, because I believe coaching should be all about YOU and YOUR story, not me and mine. I’m simply the facilitator who will help you on your journey to a more joyful and fulfilled life. I won't pretend to know all the answers you are seeking, because what is right for me might not be right for you. The second reason for choosing the name is that I am interested in listening to other people’s stories. I thrive and feel comfortable when I am in a deep conversation with another person or a group of people.
I am originally from Denmark and moved to Australia in 2019 after having met my kiwi partner Aaron in Peru. We now live in Wynnum West and love being close to the ocean.
I host my in-person coaching sessions in my house because I believe that in order for us to truly open up and be vulnerable, we need to feel safe and comfortable, which I believe we can easier do in the comfort of a home.
About the Your Story Approach
The Your Story approach is a facilitated process that helps you take ownership of your life and become the author of your own story.
The Your Story approach is inspired by a range of different methods and inspiring professionals including:
-
Life Coaching, which I am ICF (International Coaching Federation) certified in
-
Neuro-Linguistic Programming, which I am certified in through WILD Coaching.
-
Change Management, which I am certified in from APMG and I have worked in for more than 10 years.
-
Facilitation, which I was trained in by the experts from Implement Consulting Group and has always been a professional passion of mine.
-
Narrative Coaching, which is developed by David Drake from the Moment Institute (plans to obtain a official certificate in the next few years)
-
My other unofficial mentors such as Brené Brown, Martha Bech, Mel Robbings, Glennon Doyle, Byron Katie, Emily Nagoski, Amelia Nagoski, Elyse Tribole, James Clear and many more.
The Your Story approaches four phases are visualised in figure 1. Each phase is made up of facilitated exercises that help you unpack your own story in a structured way. In the coaching sessions, we will use the exercises that are relevant to you and your journey.
