WM Capstone Dinner: Kate Germano

After leaving the Marine Corps, Kate returned to school to make better sense of what had happened to her, attending Georgetown University to learn more about change leadership and diversity, equity, and inclusion. She also attained her leadership coaching credentials from Fielding Graduate University, the International Coaching Federation, and the NeuroLeadership Institute. Her work is heavily grounded in emotional intelligence and the brain science of leadership and communication. Believing you can always teach an old dog new tricks, as a coach and consultant with Cassandra-Helenus Partners, LLC (C + H Partners), she uses her own experiences as powerful tools to help others be more insightful, accountable, and able to artfully navigate change. Her writing has been published in national media outlets to include the New York Times, Washington Post, San Diego Union Tribune, Time Magazine, U.S. News and World Report, and more.  She has also been featured on NPR, CSPAN, and PBS Newshour. To read more about Kate click here.
