People challenges rarely arrive at a convenient time.
They show up disguised as a niggling feeling that something isn’t right. This might be from leadership issues, capability gaps, performance concerns, resource shortages, restructures, cultural friction, competing priorities or deadlines that were unrealistic to begin with.
That's where I can help. With nearly two decades of experience spanning the not-for-profit, government and private sectors, I have a deep understanding of how meaningful engagement, good governance, clear communication and genuine collaboration can drive innovation and change that work for people.
KR People Advisory helps organisations make sense of complexity, navigate change with confidence and build workplaces where people and performance can thrive.
No HR jargon. No 100-page strategy deck destined for a shared drive graveyard. Just practical advice, clear thinking and experienced support that helps leaders move forward with confidence.
Think of me as the friend who tells you when there’s spinach in your teeth—then hands you the napkin and the pathway for lunch domination. I blend sharp insights with conversation-level clarity, so you walk away knowing exactly what to do next and why it’ll work.
Consulting, minus the Corporate Yawn
Hi, I’m Katie Richardson. I've spent the last 18 years helping organisations navigate change, solve complex people challenges and build stronger workplaces.
I've worked across government, health, technology, infrastructure and corporate environments, leading everything from restructures and workforce transformation to enterprise bargaining, leadership development and HR function redesign.
What I enjoy most is helping leaders make sense of complexity, cut through the noise and find practical solutions that actually work.
I support Australian companies across construction, tech, financial services, NFP, manufacturing, logistics, professional services and more.
When I'm not untangling people problems, you'll probably find me chasing after my family, drinking coffee or attempting to ignore my phone for an hour.
Let’s chat.
