Hi, everyone.

It's Elisa Likt here, your host, and I'm so thrilled to share that my new book, On Brand,

Shape Your Narrative, Share Your Vision, Shift Their Perception, is out now.

I hope you'll pick up a copy because personal branding is for

everyone. It's for the new graduate starting out, the middle manager looking to level up,

the executive who wants to be a thought leader, the entrepreneur starting from scratch.

It's for anyone who wants to pivot or transition into something new.

Because having a strong personal brand means that your name gets dropped in rooms,

you're not in, and that you're thought of for opportunities that other people haven't

even heard of yet.

So pick up a copy, and I can't wait to hear what you think.

Hi, this is Elisa Likt and this is Leave Your Mark the podcast where I brew fresh

career advice in conversation with some of my most inspiring and successful friends.

It's professional advice that you can action immediately, whether you're just starting out in your career or well on your way.

It's a collaboration hub for women and women identified to develop network and connect. And you're really defining a new

category and reimagining like a space for women. And we're going to talk a lot about this. But

really, you're investing in self-development, wellness, flexibility and giving back for women.

And I think it's incredible to understand what you're doing

today based on where you came from. So for everyone listening, Kate really just began

entrepreneurial journey. Tell us what you did previously. So I spent the better part of two decades in mainly corporate investment banking for three of the largest banks in the world. So Bank of America, J.P. Morgan and HSBC. My last two roles were global, managing billions on a P&L, thousands of employees all over the world. And the skills that I

had built up from running my own businesses within these big companies, the skills that they had

actually helped me develop led me to be able to become the entrepreneur that I am today.

Well, we're going to get into all of this. But first of all, like, where did you grow up? Tell us a little bit about your background. Yeah, so grow. I grew today. Well, we're going to get into all of this. But first of all, like, where did you
