Your business can only grow as fast as you can repeat yourself.

Talk topics
What Kate talks about
Each topic works as a podcast conversation, a live session, a workshop or a keynote. Happy to shape one around your audience.
Make it once: turning what you repeat into a digital product
Every business has a question it answers over and over. Kate shows how to turn that into a guide, a program or a training that does the explaining for you, using four simple directions: before people buy, after they buy, for your team, and for your suppliers.
Listeners leave with their first product idea, not just theory.
Your expertise, built to scale
For coaches, consultants and organisations. How to translate a methodology into professional programs, team trainings and certifications people can earn CPD hours with, and what to get right before anything gets built.
Ideal for professional bodies, L&D and HR audiences.
Life first, work around it
Kate grew up watching a family bricks-and-mortar business run seven days a week, then left the corporate world to build a business she can run from anywhere. An honest look at designing your life first, and the practical changes that make it possible.
A story-led conversation with plenty of practical takeaways.
The tools behind an efficient online business
It has never been simpler or cheaper to run an online business, yet most owners are paying for tools they don't need. Kate shares the four questions to ask before you add any tool, how she cut her own tech stack to under $500 a month, and how she uses AI to replace subscriptions without being an AI expert. All so there's more time for the human, person-to-person side of business.
Great for small business and solo operator audiences.
In Kate's words
Lines audiences remember
"How many people can you personally get in front of? That's your ceiling. Your calendar decides it."
"Make it once, serve many."
"It has never been simpler or cheaper to run an online business."

Kate MacGregor grew up in a family bricks-and-mortar business, watching long days, seven days a week. After years in the corporate world, she set out to build something different: a business designed around her life, that she could run from anywhere.
Her first online course, launched in the first lockdown, was delivered by hand: she emailed every video to more than 100 people herself and tracked who was up to which day on a whiteboard. That was when she found a better way, and for the last eight years she has helped business owners do the same. As a strategic digital product consultant, Kate works with established coaches, consultants and organisations to turn their methodology into professional digital training products, from client programs to team training to certifications. Her work ranges from solo coaches to organisations rolling out training across teams and franchises, including large multi-language programmes for global clients.
