About us
Upskilling for Industry 5.0
Human creativity and machine intelligence work in harmony to unlock unprecedented performance.
Our Mission
We prepare coaches, teachers, individuals and organizations for this new era by developing the human side of the equation.
We believe that the future belongs to those who can effectively collaborate with intelligent systems while maintaining their uniquely human capabilities of creativity, complex communication and storytelling, empathy, ethical judgment, and adaptive thinking.
The Industry 5.0 Imperative
As AI and automation reshape every industry, the organizations that thrive will be those that invest in human performance—not as a counterweight to technology, but as its essential complement.
"Kate's work isn't just about data or performance, it's about building a bridge between the people, purpose, and processes of the future."
About The Founder
On a mission to empower human-machine performance
Kate Engard is a strategist working at the intersection of human performance and digital innovation— bridging how people adapt under pressure with how organizations build in the Industry 5.0 era. With nearly two decades in elite coaching and education, she brings a practical understanding of load, recovery, and resilience, and applies those same principles to modern knowledge work where cognitive demand is the limiting factor.
Her technical work spans applied sports science and analytics, including machine learning, NLP, and statistical modeling across use cases like injury risk prediction, sentiment analysis, social listening, and emerging tech explorations in blockchain and NFTs.
Today, Kate supports teams building the human systems behind advanced technology—translating complex science into usable frameworks that strengthen performance, decision-making, and outcomes.
