Kathleen is also an amateur comedian, sharing the stage with some of Canada’s top talent, led a hip hop/funk fusion band in her youth, and recited original poetry in some of her hometown’s most prestigious venues like the Glenbow Museum. In her work with teams, she uses techniques such as improv to help people process what they are learning and break down barriers.
