Let’s PIVOTT Podcast: Building Leadership Teams Through Growth, Not Fixing, featuring Kate Zappatelli

Originally posted by Let’s PIVOTT Podcast hosted by Chuck McKay on February 3, 2026.

At Karrikins Group, we believe great leaders are built through growth, not “fixing” people. Kate Zappitelli, Chair and HOW Activator at Karrikins Group, recently joined the Let’s PIVOTT Podcast to share how we help leadership teams improve the way they work together.

In this conversation, Kate walks through her path from higher education into coaching and executive team development, and digs into the real challenges organizations face, from side conversations and silos to decisions being made outside the room. She also explores why the ROI on human dynamics work can feel intangible, why communication remains the biggest bottleneck even in an AI-driven world, and how AI can serve as a thought partner, while reminding us that the hardest conversations still have to happen human-to-human.
