Kate O’Reilly - or as you may know her, Clever Kate - is a content strategist - writer, coach, blogger, vlogger, podcaster - and she consults with people to bring their messages out into the world. But the defining characteristic of Kate is her vulnerability. Her sheer ballsy - clear - and kind way in which she moves through the world is truly inspiring - and not just by me, but so many others.

I was in the audience as she spoke at an event at CoCo (a co-working collaborative here in the Twin Cities), and it became very clear that there’s so much that we as speakers and performers can learn from her.
