MORE ABOUT KATE
Dr Kate De Jong is a business mentor for purpose-driven small businesses and not-for-profits. She stepped away from her 15-year consulting engineering career in 2012 to start her own business after struggling for more than a decade with chronic fatigue, anxiety and mystery illnesses. After a series of devastating events in her mid-thirties, she realised it was her career that was making her sick. She had no choice but to quit. Kate is passionate about helping people understand the link between vocational happiness and mental health. She challenges our societal definition of “success” and the pursuit of careers solely based on external measures of success like money or status. Her personal experience has taught her that workplace disengagement, stress, and anxiety are often caused by people suppressing their true selves to meet others’ expectations.
Kate captured her personal journey in her riveting and bestselling memoir SEEDS OF A CALLING: One Woman’s Journey of Finding the Courage to Live Her Truth.
Kate now helps people like herself who don’t fit into the ‘corporate box’ to find and realise their contribution through entrepreneurship. As an award-winning coach, bestselling author and host of the Thriving Business podcast, Kate’s vision is to make business easy so that purpose-driven entrepreneurs can make the difference they’re here to make. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
Kate is a truly inspiring coach and speaker who is generous with her knowledge, and committed to the success of fellow entrepreneurs!
