I'm Kate Mason, founder of communications strategy firm Hedgehog + Fox, where I coach founders and execs to present authoritative, compelling positions from which to get what they want.

I'm also the author of the forthcoming book from Penguin Random House, "Powerfully Likeable", coming May 2025.

I spent my early career years at Google, YouTube, Khan Academy and Medium and saw firsthand the challenges women can have at work. I also spent many years winning national and world rankings in debate, a professionally adversarial and very male environment. Now I help thousands of women elevate the way they operate and communicate, boosting their signal at work. In order to find an authoritative voice to call one's own, I guide people through lessons to help shape our presence, logic, and persuasion to succeed.

With over twenty years experience in coaching women, my work maps creative and important ways of presenting yourself and your work, whether it's your first job, you're trying for that next promotion, or you're already in the C-suite.

I live for creating warm, engaged spaces where women leaders can connect, grow and learn together, and supercharge their value and impact at work.
