About Me

Hi, I’m Kathie O’Donoghue, and I know what it’s like to run a business. Over the past 20 years, I’ve built and managed my own companies, experiencing the same challenges you’re likely facing today - scaling up, managing teams, and figuring out the next big move.
I’ve walked the path of business ownership all the way through to sale and exit, and I understand how daunting it can feel. That’s why I started Mode Business Training - to provide practical, no-nonsense support for leaders like you. Whether you’re struggling to grow your business, make smart decisions, or solve complex problems, I’m here to help you cut through the noise, find clarity, and take action.
I don’t just bring my experience to the table - I’ve also invested in honing my skills to offer you the best possible guidance. I’m a Level 7 (Masters) qualified Business Coach, Mentor, and Supervisor, with advanced training in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). These tools allow me to go beyond surface-level solutions, helping you tackle the underlying patterns that may be holding you back while building resilience and confidence as a leader.
At Mode, I focus on:
-
Business Growth & Strategy: Helping you map out a clear, actionable path to success.
-
Leadership Development: Equipping you with the confidence and skills to lead effectively.
-
Creative Problem-Solving: Guiding you to navigate challenges with fresh perspectives.
This isn’t about vague advice or one-size-fits-all approaches. I provide tailored guidance, designed to meet your unique needs. My goal is to empower you to achieve meaningful, measurable results - without the jargon, fluff, or unnecessary complexity.
Whether you’re a start-up founder, a corporate executive, or a coach seeking supervision, I’m here to help you take the next step with confidence and clarity. Let’s work together to make your goals a reality.
