Katz Kiely Guest Overview
Welcome back to The Impossible Network season 5, where I interview Storytellers, Difference Makers, and Domain Experts to tell their stories, invite them to connect with each other, and challenge them to take action on issues and problems they care about, the problems that need solving. Think about it as a live experiment as I work to build action engines for progress…why? Because Actions matter – we have enough think tanks.
In the first in my Difference Maker series of interviews, my guest is Katz Kiely – a woman of conviction and determination who has been working to change the world for the better since a child. I describe what Katz does at the start of the interview before inviting her to reveal who she really is as a human and…. what and who made her… a woman of indomitable spirit.
From 29 minutes in, we dive into the work she has been doing to make a difference in the world, her current impact project Frontline.Live before we discuss her vision and platform, code-named BEEP, to help leaders and organizations nurture work cultures where humans thrive….so their businesses thrive.
Katz is a human Action Engine obsessed with helping people connect.
collaborate, and co-create. Be inspired.
