Kate Van Name

I’ve spent a lifetime learning—through experience, curiosity, and a lot of listening. What I love most now is sharing that wisdom with others. Helping clients sidestep common missteps, see things more clearly, and lead with greater confidence is where the real work—and joy—lives.

Our Coaches, Advisors, and Consultants

We’re a team of seasoned leaders and clear-eyed partners—each of us bringing deep experience in management, consulting, and relationship-building. But more importantly, we bring presence. We listen closely, speak honestly, and stay focused on helping you lead well—especially when things get complex.


We don’t just offer advice—we roll up our sleeves and share what we’ve learned over decades: in business, in community, and in the quiet, in-between moments where real leadership takes shape.


We work with growth-minded leaders who want practical wisdom and strategic insight in areas like mindset, leadership, marketing, operations, succession, M&A, and more.


Here's what we bring to the table:

  • A willingness to step into uncharted territory
  • Analytical depth and insight-driven decision making 
  • Honest feedback with strategic clarity 
  • The ability to read the room—and the moment 
  • Communication that’s persuasive without being performative
     

When we assess your next move, we look at everything: your current reality, the promises you’ve made, the risks you’re weighing, and the teams you're leading. We bring both insider intuition and outsider perspective—because that’s where the clearest choices live.


We’re not here to nod along. We’re here to help you see what’s next—and walk toward it with conviction.


Supportive. Direct. Invested. That’s how we show up.

How Do You Know It’s Time to Call KVN Partners?

If you’re wondering whether it’s time for extra support, chances are—you already know.


Here are a few moments when our clients typically reach out:


  • You’re facing an important decision but don’t have the time, perspective, or bandwidth to see it clearly. 
  • You’ve tried different approaches, but things still aren’t shifting the way you hoped. 
  • The same problems keep showing up—despite your best efforts. 
  • You know what needs doing, but your team is stretched too thin to take it on. 
  • You’d welcome a clear, objective perspective—either to confirm your direction or explore better options.
     

In short: if you’re stuck, stretched, or simply ready for a clearer way forward, we’re here.
