Respectful Workplace Cultures Through Courageous Conversations

Speaker. Workplace Culture Consultant. Expert Witness. Catalyst for a National Movement.

In 1990, a campus sexual assault changed the course of Katie Koestner’s life. When her university minimized the crime, she refused to stay silent. At just 18 years old, she appeared on the cover of TIME Magazine, transforming public consciousness and charting a historic path for survivor advocacy.

Today, Katie is an internationally recognized speaker, workplace consultant, and expert witness helping corporations, government agencies, educational institutions, and legal teams strengthen sexual assault prevention, improve institutional response, reduce risk, and build cultures of accountability. 

Trusted by Fortune 100 companies, government agencies, military organizations, professional sports teams, and leading universities.
