In this episode of Coach Class Kate Levy shares her remarkable career journey from child actress to award-winning executive producer and creative leader. With years of experience spanning TV, branded content, and B2B production, Kate has shaped powerful stories across sectors—and guided teams through high-stakes creative projects.
Highlights:
- Early Start in Acting: Kate began her career in front of the camera, starring in David Copperfield, I, Claudius, and Robin of Sherwood. She even appeared on Broadway with the Royal Shakespeare Company.
- Turning Point: Realising the limitations of being typecast as she got older, Kate pivoted behind the camera—starting unexpectedly with voicing astrology lines for a newspaper. That leap led to producing live broadcast content for News International in both London and the US.
- Creative Leadership: Kate emphasises a collegiate and calm leadership style—encouraging teams to pause, prioritise, and problem-solve together. She’s passionate about mentoring, especially during times of change or challenge.
- Lessons Learned: She reflects on the importance of adaptability and continuous learning—traits that have helped her reinvent her career multiple times, from launching TV channels to coaching C-suite execs on-camera.
- Future Vision: Kate is now seeking new opportunities where she can collaborate closely with others, mentor rising talent, and continue producing meaningful, award-winning content.
- On Ageism: She candidly discusses the bias older professionals face in creative industries and challenges companies to embrace experience, as long as it’s coupled with a hunger to keep learning.
- AI & Human Creativity: Kate wants to explore how artificial and human intelligence can work together—humorously noting she always says "please and thank you" to AI tools, just in case.
💬 “The only way to get experience is chronologically. But if you're still curious, open to change, and passionate about making great work—you’ve got so much to offer.” – Kate Levy
