S3, Ep 36: Katherine Robinette: The Power of Clear, Kind, and Convicted Leadership

Sensitive Change Makers: Coaching for HSPs, Introverts & Purpose-Driven Entrepreneurs and Leaders

This week on Sensitive Change Makers, I’m joined by the brilliant Katherine Robinette - a strategist, speaker, and President of Keystone & Raven. Katherine has spent three decades watching smart people turn change into a battle - and she’s done being diplomatic about it. She’s known for cutting through corporate red tape with clarity, trust, connection, and agency, helping companies believe in what they’re building again, and that’s when the real transformation begins.

Our conversation goes deep fast, exploring what really happens when sensitivity meets strategy, and why being clear might just be the kindest form of leadership there is.

We talk about:

• What it really means to be highly sensitive — and how Katherine first recognised her own sensitivity
• Reconnecting to intuition after years of leaning on intellect and analysis
• The art of clear and kind communication (and why “nice” isn’t the same as kind)
• How to have difficult conversations with empathy and integrity
• Katherine’s “Conviction Transformation” framework — and why the next evolution of business must be people-focused
• The six dynamics of conviction
• Why treating people like they’re amazing is the most effective leadership strategy there is

If you’ve ever felt caught between intellect and intuition - or wondered how to bring more authenticity into the way you lead and communicate -this episode is for you.
