About Leading Beings Coaching & Development
Leading Beings exists to enliven the unique positive force in people.
I work with humans on a mission, to bridge the gap between personal and professional coaching and development and create conscious success in business, leadership & life.
Because self, work, life and leadership aren’t separate, they’re a fully integrated ecosystem.
Leading Beings is here to support you (or your people) to:
Create a meaningful, sustainable work-life that’s good for you, the world and the people you love
Build an incredible business, team, career or organisation aligned to your values, strengths and special somethin'
Be an inspiring and inspired leader in your field, without conforming to "the ways things are always done"
Tap into a state of mindful, productive flow to unlock your best work and make meaningful progress on your most important projects
Become fully self aware and aligned in who you are, what you do and how you show up for a more conscious version fo success.

We’re likely a great fit if:
You’re looking for a coach who’s got the experience to support you with the commercial business or leadership stuff, as well as the human stuff (and let’s be real, it’s often the human stuff that trips us up).
You’d love to be more productive and focused with your work, but by slowing down and being more intentional, not speeding up, ‘hustling’ and doing more, more, more.
You need someone to help you create the space to do the work you know you need to do and build rhythms and routines to continue sustainably on your own. Not build dependency on a coach or system your can’t maintain long term.
You believe making a difference and making a decent living shouldn’t have to be mutually exclusive.
You’re ready to work on the growth of yourself, as much as the growth of your business, career or team.
You’re committed to building your work, life or business around what’s right for you and your loved ones and are ok with challenging or not conforming to norms.
You’re prepared to be open and explore the tough questions, the bigger picture, the whole system, the inner workings and go deep, not just skim along the surface.
You’re ready to show up consistently as your whole, unique self – breaking down any artificial lines between personal and professional and owning your weird.
You’re a good human. You care about people and planet. You embrace diversity, champion equality/equity and consider your impact on the world.
Kate McCready
Coach & Founder of Leading Beings
I believe the world needs more Leading Beings.
People who are continually growing and evolving into better versions of themselves. People who are LEADING not just from what they’re doing, but who they’re BEING. And whose growth and development has a positive ripple effect in their communities and society as a whole.
That’s why I help service based, people-centred professionals, creatives and change-makers to do just that. And live a life that’s as successful on the inside as it looks on the outside.
I work in the grey areas
I don’t fit neatly into the professional working world, the small business world, or the personal or spiritual growth worlds. And I don’t expect you too, either. You don’t have to choose between working on your business or yourself, your career or your family, your strategic leadership or your self leadership. The heart of our work together is where they all meet.
My qualifications and experience in business (both big and small) give me the skills to work with you on strategy, planning, innovation and moving forward in your work so you can have an impact and be successful – whatever that means to you.
But at the same time, my decade of coaching experience means I can also help you dig deep into the mindset stuff. The blocks, the internal battles, the things that are stopping you moving forward or sending you in the wrong direction.
I use a unique combo of strategic, practical, creative, empathetic and intuitive approaches to help you imagine big and make it happen with greater ease, flow and joy.
Leading Beings Purpose, Mission, Vision & Values
-
To enliven the unique positive force in people.
-
Create space for integrated personal and professional growth of socially conscious business owners and leaders, so they can live intentional and meaningful work-lives that nurture their unique being and impact.
-
A new paradigm of conscious success, where people are empowered to embrace their unique ways of living, working and being for personal fulfilment and meaningful contribution.
Values
-
Let me be my real, unique, messy self – with all my quirks, imperfections and super powers – so you can be real with me. Our difference is what makes us special. When we bring our real selves, we do out best work and live our best lives.
-
Let us be life long learners, but not just for the sake of learning. Let us learn so we can grow. But let's not grow for growth's sake – to climb an artificial ladder, to reach the 'there' that keeps shifting. Let's grow to evolve, ourselves and our world. (It's all changing around us anyway, so we might as well get on board for the ride).
-
Let us create deep, inspired and meaningful connections. To ourselves, to ideas, to our work, to others, to our planet and to the greater 'wholes' we're all a part of. Let us fuel these connections by developing awareness and understanding via getting curious. Because nothing connects like curiosity.
-
Let us be self authored. Let us choose our response and decide what's truly meaningful in a way that serves us. Let us design our life and work with intention, accepting what is (and who we are), yet imagining and believing all that could be so we can make the most of who we are and all we're here to create.
-
Let us make an impact from the inside out, from all of who we are on the inside, not just what we do on the outside. Let's lead as whole human beings practicing whole self leadership. Let's make connections, join dots, play in the grey areas and bring together what's often seen as separate. Masculine + feminine. Work + Life. Self + other. Because at the end of the day, it's actually all one thing.
-
Let's create positive flow and momentum through generative action. Let us practice the art of positivity, without denying or suppressing the sh!t bits, so as not to block the flow of our energy. If we bring a constructive and growth mindset to what we do, and focus on what's possible, we are force to be reckoned with.
