Do what you love,
not just what you know
~ Kate Langford ~
SIGNATURE KEYNOTE
The Focused Founders Formula
Kate brings a perspective most Business Founders have never experienced before.
She translates chaos into simple, actionable systems that actually work for the way their brain operates. Her teachings come from lived experience, not theory, having built two seven-figure businesses while working
three days a week, harnessing her busy mind and raising three children under 10.
Clients work with Kate because she makes them feel seen, safe and powerful without sugar-coating the work or selling a fantasy. She gives them permission to own their power, understand how their brain works and finally build a business in a way that feels natural rather than forced.
Kate leaves audiences relieved because they realise nothing is “wrong” with them.
They walk away empowered with tools they can implement immediately, clear on where their time and energy need to go and validated in how they operate. Most importantly, they leave excited again – ready to build a business that reflects their potential, not their limitations.
THE FOUNDERS DILEMMA
Your Mind Is Working
Against You
You’re sharp and capable, but your fast-moving brain makes clarity and focus harder than they should be.
Ideas Come Easily,
Execution Doesn’t
You spot opportunities quickly, but turning intuition into confident, strategic action feels inconsistent.
No Systems = Constant Overwhelm
Without simple, sustainable structure, everything takes more time, more energy, and more mental load than it should.
Procrastination
You Can’t Explain
You’re not lazy, you’re misaligned. You freeze because you’re unclear on what matters or what to delegate.
Stuck Doing Everything
Except Your Best Work
Your genius zone is profitable, but you’re constantly pulled into low-value tasks that drain revenue and momentum.
Progress Stalls Because Perfection Takes Over
You overthink, hesitate, or hide your strengths, slowing growth without even realising it.
Kate helps business founders break through these daily barriers by teaching them how to work with their brains, not against them.
In her keynote, she shows audiences how to turn fast-thinking into strategic action, build simple systems that support growth,
and eliminate the decision fatigue that stalls momentum.
She brings a no-fluff approach to understanding misalignment, procrastination, overthinking, and the constant pull away from the genius zone,
giving founders practical tools to regain focus, make confident decisions, and move their business forward without overwhelm.
By the end of her keynote, audiences walk away with a clearer path, a stronger sense of direction, and the ability to use their
natural strengths to grow a business that finally feels manageable, scalable, and aligned.

Creator of the signature keynote: The Focused Founder Formula
Kate Langford is an award-winning business and career expert who helps established business owners uncover the blind spots restricting growth, in their leadership, structure, and decision-making, and turn them into clarity, focus, and stronger results.
As the creator of The Focused Founders Formula, Kate speaks to audiences across Australia about the powerful intersection between human behaviour and business performance, helping leaders understand how their patterns, habits, and mental load directly impact their success.
With 16+ years across Human Resources, recruitment, leadership, and coaching, Kate blends sharp business strategy with personal insight in a way few coaches can.

Kate’s style is unapologetically no-fluff. She sees what others miss, calls out the real issues beneath the surface, and helps clients create practical shifts that change how they lead, operate, and grow.
As a founder running two national businesses, an author, a keynote speaker, and a mum of three who works three days a week by design, Kate knows exactly how to build success without burning out. Her deep experience in Counselling, HR and Management, combined with leading a team and scaling multi-six-figure companies, gives her a unique understanding of both business and the person behind it.
What she savours: Honesty, real conversations, progress, camping.
What she skips: Negativity, arrogance, and tomatoes (still not negotiating).
Kate isn’t here to sugar-coat or cheerlead, she’s here to help you see what you can’t, shift what’s been holding your business back, and step into a cleaner, smarter, more focused way of leading.
