Kate Muldoon Is the Founder and Head Coach at Ladies with Tradies. A tradie’s wife herself, Kate wanted to help other ladies with her proven strategies for a successful working relationship with their tradies. Kate and the team bring all things 'behind the scenes' to the forefront - without the complex jargon and 'businessy' confusion.
Kate was inspired to create Ladies with Tradies to support other tradie couples after a series of tragedies in her own life. The loss of her tradie brother, the loss of a tradie partner through addiction, and loss of both grandfathers at a young age due to illnesses relates to their ‘tradesmen’ lifestyle. Kate was also a palliative care nurse and intimately witnessed the regrets of the dying. Kate’s mission is to help tradie couples stop shit hitting the fan and reduce regrets and stress in love, life and business.
Kate’s no bullshit approach of good communication and being brutally honest inspires people to believe in and value themselves for the amazing people they are. What you see is what you get with Kate. Her down to earth nature stems from her rural upbringing and she strives to make services such as coaching and business support available to all tradie couples, no matter where they’re based.
When Kate becomes part of your team, she embeds herself into your way of life. She will advocate, promote and understand your business as if it were her own. You can rely on Kate to deliver for you and your team.
Josie Postlethwaite is the Managing Director / Finance Manager for Ladies with Tradies and many of our clients. She is the heart behind the numbers interpretation for couples in trades’ businesses. There is nobody who can unpack, coach and support to implement people with the power of numbers than this little pocket rocket.
Josie brings the sanity and the reassurance to our clients through simple, effective strategies that the Tradies and Ladies love, because they learn how to interpret their numbers, and put into play everything they need to achieve their personal and financial goals.
Megs comes from a corporate background with over 15 years working with businesses to understand their numbers and help them achieve their goals. She is the most modest leader in the team - and makes a huge impact steering the LWT ship towards better outcomes for both our staff and our clients. She is Kate and Josie's sanity when it comes to making the big decisions - her ability to see all sides is something special.
She is super passionate about making a difference and helping others - so is a great fit for our LWT community. She is also awesome for some fun, trivia, games and all sorts - she keeps things fresh and fun for our team.
Embracing our ‘Working the Trade, Livin the Life’, Megs values the simple but important things in life, our health and wellbeing, spending time with family and being out in nature.
All paths at LWT lead to Megs - and she get's it all sorted - and we love her for it.
Chane is our dynamic, straight shooting, get shit done coach, based in NZ - I know right - so cool.
She comes from a family of trades entrepreneurs where her dad was a mechanic. She grew up with the highs and lows of a mechanic business... dad always doing his best to provide meaning that her mum played full time mum and dad. Just like many of us can relate to - even weekends her dad's business occupied him - which I am sure breaks his heart even now.
Here's why Chane loves LWT and all we stand for:
No child should wish for more quality time with mum/dad
No married woman should need to play both roles
No man should be a slave to his business, and feel the need to make up for lost time when life catches up with them
Business done right should give families more, not take away live and experiences. My calling and life purpose is empowering business owners from all walks of life live a regret free life in love, life and business"
Chane has an extensive background in marketing and sales, recruitment - and all things business. She has a passion for helping and changing people's lives.
Kate and Chane worked together for some time in the past and this is where they cultivated ideas, grew excited together, and eventually decided to take on the crusade of reducing regrets in the lives of others together.
