Meet Kate Stapleton

Founder & CEO of ReSpeak | Creator of the ERA Resilience Framework

Kate Stapleton founded ReSpeak with a simple belief: organisations deserve more than inspirational stories-they deserve conversations that create lasting change. Following her own journey through addiction, recovery, rebuilding her life while living with Multiple Sclerosis and overcoming extraordinary personal adversity, Kate discovered that resilience is not simply something people possess-it is something they can deliberately build. This became the foundation of the Emotional Resilience Architecture (ERA) Framework, a practical approach that helps individuals and organisations develop the mindset, behaviours and psychological flexibility needed to navigate uncertainty, lead with confidence and recover stronger from adversity. Today, Kate combines lived experience with evidence-informed practice to deliver keynotes, workshops and leadership programmes that equip audiences with practical tools they can use long after the event ends.
