About my work
Kia ora! I’m Kath Cooper.
I help individuals, teams, and managers transform their lives and work by unearthing their deepest passions, values, and strengths. Think of me as your guide, your mentor, and your biggest advocate. Together, we’ll tap into your unique strengths and uncover infinite possibilities for how you can use them throughout your life journey.
Let's chatAbout Gallup Strengths
Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach
The Gallup CliftonStrengths assessment uncovers your most authentic, unique self and guides my coaching sessions. You’ll get a detailed report that reflects your truest self back to you. Not only will your report describe who you are perfectly, it will also help you understand your strengths and any challenges you need to overcome.
The assessment is only the beginning, though. A coach (that’s me!) helps you understand and analyse your results, and how you can use them to shape a more fulfilling life. I’m fully trained and certified to guide you along that path. You will leave our session empowered and inspired with practical tools to help you unpack and realise your awesome self!
About my life
Always learning; always growing
Born in England and raised in Aotearoa New Zealand, I’ve built my life around learning, teaching, and my family. My life is full, enriched, and busy - and I wouldn’t have it any other way! My wife and I have four children, five grandchildren and two awesome dogs, Goldie and Dolly-Molly.
I never really stopped learning and studying. I completed a Diploma in Early Childhood Education in 1995 and in 2023 I gained my Educational Doctorate. I use my Gallup CliftonStrengths to maintain a focus and commitment to my studies and ongoing development.
Outside work and education, you’ll find me exploring Wellington’s excellent coffee shops with friends, walking my dog, or reading a good book in the sun (it’s true what they say: you can’t beat Wellington on a good day). My wife and I enjoy travelling and discovering new cultures around the world and closer to home.
A little about you
Find the path to your best life
I get it: Life goes fast. Maybe you woke up one day and wondered how you got here. Is this the direction you wanted to take? Are you cultivating a life that you’re proud of? Do you enjoy your day-to-day life?
My coaching sessions are all about you. I want to help you discover all the things that make you awesome. When you understand your strengths, values, and passions, you can align them with your work and hobbies and allow your best self to step forward and take charge.
