Dr Katherine Iscoe

How would your life change if you had more confidence?

Asking this simple question can ignite change in itself. It surfaces the thought: why are you waiting for tomorrow for what you could do today? What is preventing you from putting your hand up, asking the question, making the first move, or starting something you’ve always wanted to do?

In this life-changing talk, Dr Katherine takes the audience on a thought-provoking roller coaster ride to nudge them towards a decision they won’t regret: taking responsibility for the life they live.

Understanding that complaining won’t get you anywhere The only thing that’s holding you back is your brain. How to see the bright side in the darkest times Managing your energy, not your time

You’re stressed to the nines. Your friends tell you to meditate, but you barely have time to brush your teeth let alone “be one” with your thoughts.
You wake up in the morning with coffee and turn yourself off at night with a wine while double- tapping all the zen-like photos on the Gram.
Yes, you know you need to get a hold of your high-wired mindset, but every solution you try lasts as long as deodorant in the desert.

Does work-life balance really exist?
In this humourous and action-filled talk, Dr Katherine strips down the #bs of life and provides targeted solutions to manage stress in the real world.

It’s Monday, another new start where we drink the kale smoothies and hit the gym... hard. By Tuesday we’re back to where we started: triple shot cappuccino and a sugar-filled muffin to get us through the day.

Why does this happen? Yes, what we eat and drink and how much we move is important to our overall health, of course it is. But our approach to it doesn’t need to be militant.
In her most requested keynote talk, Dr Katherine uses her evidence-based Forever Approach to help people change their health and happiness for the long haul, whereas existing programs only deal with the now.

Key messages
No militant regimes, no wagons to fall off, no drastic upheavals. Life changes start with realistic expectations, not dream goals. How to fuel your body and mind through balanced nutrition, not “diets” Understanding the importance of purpose

Whether at work, at home or on the road, we all have lost the plot over something trivial. Not only does this not accomplish anything, but leaves us facepalming over our psycho-side for hours afterwards.

Anger, frustration and disappointment are all important emotions that we simply cannot de- program from our genetics, so how can we learn to manage them with grace and tact?

In this eye-opening talk, Dr Katherine helps the audience undercover the ‘why’ behind their bitter behaviours and provides practical solutions to curb the craziness for happier outcomes and kinder self-talk.

Key messages
Communicating emotions with clarity, not curtness Turning your inner bully into your bestie Sticking to your values while in conflict Putting some sass into the soft talk

At only 23 years of age, Dr Katherine went bankrupt for a quarter million dollars. By her mid- thirties, she sold her soul in an attempt to peddle my business. It failed miserably.
As confident as she was on the outside, she was still the same girl she always was on the inside: riddled with self-doubt and fear.

In this hit-home, inspiring talk, Dr Katherine helps people understand that you can’t sell something you don’t believe in, and if you don’t believe in yourself, you won’t get anywhere.

Key messages
The importance of understanding your values and your vices You don’t need to be perfect, you just need to have a purpose Why kindness always wins over coolness Why the key to success isn’t working hard

From an extremely young age, women (and men) around the world are blinded by the belief that they will be valued based on their appearance, and if they don’t mirror society’s blue-print of ‘beauty’, they need to change.

This pursuit of perfection is arguably life’s most dangerous game, leaving millions feeling unworthy in their own skin.

In this relevant and highly relatable talk, Dr Katherine helps people understands what it is that makes us different, makes us beautiful.

Can you lose weight while eating cake? Absolutely! But how, you ask!

While genetics play a huge role in our body’s shape and size, research has conclusively shown that restrictive diets and militant exercise only do one thing: fast track you to failure.
In this easy to understand (and apply!), science- based talk (with a twist), Dr Katherine helps people understand the basics of human physiology so they can create a long-term program for health that is a joy to follow.
