In this energising and deeply human conversation, I sit down with the remarkable Katie Godden, rural country girl, educator, public speaker, mum and leadership advocate, to reveal how one powerful pause and one authentic conversation can transform lives. Katie takes us on her journey from primary classrooms in New South Wales to global training rooms and now to leading change one dialogue at a time.

We explore

🧭 Katie’s speak pause respond technique that shifts energy and authority in any room

🧭 The secret power of asking “What is needed here?” before choosing our words

🧭 How tiny, heart-led conversations create grassroots ripples of impact

🧭 Katie’s framework for self-awareness, tuning into your values, your north star and your inner compass

🧭 The messy, scrappy process of testing, pivoting and owning your role whether you’re mum, trainer or CEO

Key Takeaways

⚡ Leadership lives in your pause; responding rather than reacting creates space for real connection

⚡ Awaken your inner compass by asking “What do I need?” and “What do they need?” in every exchange

⚡ Small shifts in tone, timing and intent can redirect someone’s entire trajectory

⚡ True power comes from trusting yourself, leaning into uncertainty and learning as you go

“Lean in and trust yourself, let your voice ignite the change only you can make.” – Katie Godden
