Kat’s journey into the world of mental health and well-being began after a significant turning point in her life. With a background in corporate leadership, including roles as Global Commercial Director and CEO, she experienced a deep personal and professional crisis in 2016, where burnout led to the loss of her health, career, and personal relationships. This pivotal moment caused Kat to reassess her priorities, leading her to adopt a morning routine that included exercise, reflection, and personal development. These changes sparked a renewed passion for helping others find the same balance and success, which ultimately led her to establish The Morning GameChanger in 2021.

In recent years, Kat has gained widespread recognition for her work as a speaker and coach. She has delivered powerful talks at prestigious events, such as the AHDB Talking Leaders Series, where she shared her expertise on maintaining consistency and balancing productivity with recovery. She has also appeared on multiple podcasts, including Simply Hospitality, where she discussed the importance of mental well-being in high-pressure industries. As well as hosting her own podcast, Positive Habits. Kat’s approach combines actionable strategies with a deep understanding of the human psyche, allowing her to connect with diverse audiences and inspire real change.

Kat is hired by organisations and individuals seeking to improve mental health, productivity, and well-being. Her ability to speak authentically about overcoming adversity and building resilience resonates with those looking for practical guidance on managing stress, avoiding burnout, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Kat’s expertise in habit formation and positive routines makes her an invaluable resource for anyone looking to foster mental strength and lasting change.

Official Testimonials

Kat Thorne is regularly booked to engage audiences at events, read their latest feedback below:

“I had the pleasure of attending a keynote speech by Kat Thorne during our inset training at the start of the school year. Kat’s insights on positive habits were truly transformative. Her engaging and motivational delivery left staff feeling invigorated and ready to embrace new challenges. On a personal note, I shared Kat’s message with my daughter, who had recently become a new mother and was struggling to find time for exercise. Kat’s emphasis on the importance of positive habits and the flexibility of exercise routines resonated deeply. My daughter realised that even 10 minutes of exercise is better than none, and this mindset shift created a daily habit has helped her make significant strides in returning to fitness. Kat’s ability to inspire and instill positive habits is remarkable. I highly recommend her as a keynote speaker for any organisation looking to motivate and empower their team.”

Richard, Safeguarding Consultant

“I had the pleasure of listening to Kat at a recent charity event, her enthusiastic & professionalism is fantastic. The “one small habit changes your day” was so insightful & I took learnings that I’ve now put in place.  I made 3 personal commitments as well as buying the book Kat recommended “the miracle morning” & a daily journal – thank you for the opportunity to hear all about the small changes which make a difference. I’ll also be tuning into the podcast (the positive habits) on my travels in the car! Thank you!”

Darcy, Marketing Lead, Prolojik Limited

“Working with Kat has been a fantastic experience—her message resonates deeply with our farming audience. She delivers practical, actionable insights that farmers can immediately implement, making her an invaluable speaker at the AgriLeader Forum 2025. Her keynote, “One Small Habit Changes Your Day,” was the perfect way to kick off the conference, setting the tone for challenge and growth. She even got a farmer running around London in his boots at 5 AM—if that’s not impact, I don’t know what is!  Kat’s fresh perspectives would be applicable for any audience. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thought-provoking speaker who leaves a lasting impression.”
