About

About Dr Katherine

‍

Dr Katherine Iscoe is a keynote speaker, author, board member, former CEO of a dual-listed public company, academic mentor and summa cum laude graduate with multiple scholarships and awards.

‍

Despite these achievements and perceived public success, Katherine’s mental health was teetering on collapse; she endured a debilitating eating disorder for over a decade, and persevered through severe depression and thoughts of suicide.

‍

It is precisely these deeply personal experiences that have shaped Katherine's latest research focus: the inseparable connection between self-respect and self-leadership, because at the core of her struggle for inner peace, it was a lack of self-respect that influenced her self-destructive tendencies.

‍

Her research revealed that self-respect enables a leader to push the limits of their potential by recognising their inherent worth and significance, enabling them to embrace calculated risks and step out of their comfort zones fostering a deep belief in their ability to make a meaningful impact. Self-respecting leaders also communicate with more confidence, exhibit greater resilience, live free of imposter syndrome, and wholeheartedly embrace a growth mindset.

‍

Alongside her professional escapades, Dr Katherine is a dog-obsessed, murder-documentary loving nerd, who uses sewing as therapy and shoes as her healthy addiction. More recently, Katherine has challenged herself to enrol in acting classes (which satisfies her inner diva tremendously) as her dream one day is to play the role of a therapist in a Hollywood movie.

‍

Leaders with self-respect take risks because they understand that playing it safe is just another form of settling. Organisations benefit as they see employees pursue promotions, share ideas without fear of failure, avoid second-guessing, and most importantly: they grow."
