A Little Bit More About Me
(Okay, Maybe More Than a Little)
I started Katie Rose Strategies with one overarching goal: to help people and teams grow into who they were always meant to be—with clarity, compassion, and a little help from the Enneagram.
My time in the corporate world taught me a lot. I’ve seen what thriving, healthy cultures look like—and I’ve also felt the weight of some not so healthy ones. Truth be told, I'm still recovering from burnout. As a result, I know firsthand how much our personal and professional lives overlap, and how the health of one can deeply affect the other.
Somewhere along the way, I stumbled onto the Enneagram. It helped me understand myself, show up more fully, and connect with others in a deeper, more honest way. And now? I get to help others do the same. That’s the best part.
Whether you're an individual looking for personal growth, a team wanting to communicate better, or a leader ready to build a culture that actually works—I’m here for it!
This work is about awareness, yes—but also about action. Together, we’ll uncover the patterns that hold you back and build the tools to move forward with intention.

Why the Enneagram?
I genuinely believe that the self-awareness that comes from understanding the Enneagram is a total game-changer. And I’ll be honest—when I hear it called a “personality test”, it makes me cringe a little. It’s not just a quiz with a cute result. It’s a deep, nuanced map of how we show up in the world—and why.
There’s a lot of noise and misunderstanding out there about the Enneagram. Your type is not meant to be a box to put you in—it is just one piece of a much bigger picture. Your type is also shaped by core fears & desires, wings, arrows, triads, and the list goes on! Truth is, we all carry all nine types within us. I believe that we come into the world whole, and then—somewhere along the way (cue childhood flashback)—we start to adapt. We take on a primary type as a way to cope, to connect, and to protect ourselves. Sometimes it’s about survival. Sometimes it’s about love. Often, it’s both.
It’s a lot, right? I know. But here’s the thing: once you start to see your patterns clearly, you can begin to shift them. You can move from reacting to responding. From surviving to thriving. And that’s where the real magic happens.
I could talk about this for hours (and honestly, I hope we get to). If you didn’t click the button before—no worries. I went ahead and added another one just for you. 😉
