A Talk That Shifts How Your Audience Shows Up Online...and Off
Kate Paine is the speaker you book when you want your audience to walk away genuinely shifted, not just inspired for a day.
With 35 years in marketing, PR, and journalism behind her, Kate brings a perspective that is equal parts strategic and deeply human. She helps audiences understand why so many accomplished professionals have become what she calls “The Invisible Expert” and what it takes to close the gap between who they truly are and how they show up both online and off.

Signature Speaking Topics
Kate has several signature speaking topics, but she can also customize a talk that fits your specific audience.
The Invisible Expert: The World Needs the Real You
Experienced, accomplished professionals aren't becoming invisible because they lack expertise. They're becoming invisible because their online presence hasn't kept pace with who they've become. This talk introduces The Presence Gap and challenges audiences to rethink how they show up in a world where trust is built long before the first conversation. It's the kind of talk people are still thinking about on the drive home.
LinkedIn with Personality: Where Professional Meets Playful
Most LinkedIn profiles read like resumes and that’s the problem. It's your most visible digital asset, yet too many professionals use it to list what they've done instead of showing who they are. Kate will showcase how a touch of personality, story, and authenticity transform a profile into a powerful first impression that builds trust and opens doors.

She was warm, funny, and on point. If you're looking for someone to speak on personal branding, standing out online, or LinkedIn™, I wholeheartedly recommend Kate!
So many webinars lack real value - Kate’s didn’t. I was completely engaged, took action right after, and now my LinkedIn profile is stronger than ever.
