ABOUT KATE
" LIFE ISN'T MEANT TO BE SOMETHING WE 'GET THROUGH'. WE ARE MEANT TO THRIVE IN ALL ELEMENTS."
My name is Kate Strong and I don’t believe in living a compromised life. From an early age, I felt I was different. I was curiously questioning almost everything I did, and realised that living within society’s comfort zone doesn’t always create inspiring and extraordinary results.
My mission is to inspire and empower people just like you to step up and achieve what you know intuitively that you know you want.
Add clarity, direction, a sense of purpose and methods to maintain your desire to move forward to achieve and live your dreams.
" BE YOURSELF. THAT IS WHO YOU WERE BORN TO BE "
For over two decades, I tried to fit in. I put what other people expected of me ahead of what I truly wanted to do. I was not being entirely me – I was conforming and compromising.
At university, I studied Engineering – to please my parents (I did enjoy the challenge of learning a new topic, but being an engineer was never my dream).
After graduating, I went to Latin America. Yet, I eventually ‘returned to normal’ and started to ‘settle down’ – following the unspoken rules of society.
" IT IS ALWAYS DARKEST BEFORE DAWN "
I find it curious why most people wait until a ‘cliff edge moment’ before making significant changes. I was no different, waiting until after a dramatic break-up with my fiancé that left me financially in debt and emotionally distraught did I finally accept that things needed to change. I needed to change.
It was time I started to live for me and feed what could be rather than resign to what is already. Far too many people are settling for below their potential, in a state of discomfort: Living for Friday afternoon and the next pay cheque. Life doesn’t have to be like this.
Applying this philosophy, I took up running and became age-group World Triathlon Champion. I have been striving to stop reacting to circumstances and instead continue to consciously create a life that inspires me and others.
