Career Coach & HR Consultant. Top Executive Coaching Voice on LinkedIn
Meet Kate
I'm Kate Sargent, a Career Coach and Strategic People Operations Consultant. I help people and organizations cut through the noise and get clear on what actually moves careers forward. I've spent more than 20 years working across e-commerce, retail, tech, and consumer goods, guiding teams, leaders, and job seekers through growth, transition, and change.
I specialize in helping people articulate their story, uncover their transferable strengths, and build practical tools that create real momentum. My approach is straightforward, honest, and supportive: no fluff, no spin, just strategies that work. I've coached more than a thousand professionals, from early-career talent to C-suite executives, and partnered with companies ranging from seed-stage startups to Fortune 10 organizations. I know how hiring decisions get made, why certain candidates stand out, and what it takes to build high-performing teams.
Whether you're navigating a career pivot, managing workplace challenges, or aiming for your next big role, I'm here to help you show up with clarity, confidence, and a plan. And if you're a company looking for a real people strategy, let's talk about that too.
