What is Global Impact & Legacy Work for Families?
Kate Appleton’s global work lives at the intersection of legacy, belonging, and healing. She partners with families, foundations, and mission-driven organizations across nine countries to navigate emotional complexity, generational transition, and systemic repair. Whether supporting international families through succession or working with nonprofits in underserved communities, Kate brings a rare blend of somatic insight, cultural sensitivity, and relational depth to every engagement. Her goal is not just to address the moment—but to build a legacy rooted in connection, purpose, and global responsibility.
Why Global Consulting is Different, and Creates Lasting Change
Change that spans borders & generations
Global families and mission-driven organizations often find themselves in complex emotional territory that traditional advisors, therapists, or consultants are not equipped to address. Legal teams handle structure. Financial advisors manage assets. But few know how to navigate the emotional dynamics, identity shifts, spiritual disconnection, or relational wounds that quietly shape the way families and teams live, lead, and relate across generations.
Kate’s consulting experience is different because it meets these challenges at the root. Drawing on five decades of experience, she blends strategic insight with nervous system regulation, ancestral healing, and embodied presence. Her work honors the full humanity of each person in the system—whether they are grieving, leading, or preparing to pass on more than just wealth. It’s not about performance. It’s about realignment, reconciliation, and remembering what matters most.

testimonials
“As a member of a bigger family and an affluent family, Kate has been instrumental in helping me understand the nature and the dynamic that this brings within families.
She has been phenomenal in helping me understand my role as a father, a member of my family, and a member of a board. She has helped me across many areas of both personal, spiritual, and commercial relationships. She has shown me that healing takes place in relationships, and how to slow down, pause, not miss the moment and move forward in a much more effective way than I was.
In essence, if you’re looking for somebody to help find your blind spots and share that in a very safe way, Kate Appleton is your go to.”
