I help leaders tackle challenges with confidence, cut through complexity, inspire their teams, and create real, lasting growth. As a result, you will be leading with clarity and purpose in both, work and life.

WELCOME to my website!

My name is Kai and here is what I do:

My leadership coaching philosophy was shaped long before I ever held a coaching title. Born from decades guiding extraordinary teams and navigating the vibrant, high-stakes world of international tourism and hospitality.

Whether managing five-star hotels or overseeing crews on cruise liners, I’ve witnessed how leaders ignite energy, unite people across backgrounds, and drive meaningful change. Leading teams on four continents showed me that the heart of leadership is connection: seeing each person’s unique strengths, balancing clarity with compassion, and turning vision into real, sustainable momentum.

Beyond boardrooms, I chase challenges behind the wheel — competing in rally events like Targa New Zealand and Rally Taranaki and more recently on the track. Car racing demands not just speed, but focus, adaptability, and strategic decision-making under pressure. The principles that led to my success on the track—resilience, preparation, instinct and timing—continue to anchor my work with leaders today.

As a coach, I believe true leadership isn’t about titles or ticking boxes. It’s about presence: showing up with purpose, inspiring those around you, and creating space for yourself and others to thrive without burning out. My approach is consultative, rooted in real-world experience and formal coaching expertise. I partner with leaders who want to translate bold visions into action, invest in their teams, and see tangible results—in business and in life.

If you’re looking for a leadership journey that’s practical, energising, and grounded in authentic connection, I invite you to explore my coaching packages. Let’s shape your next chapter together—where your leadership makes an impact, and your career and life feel truly meaningful.
