Kathryn Valentine Biography
Kathryn Valentine has spent years researching women-specific business skills.
As the child of a single working mother, Valentine grew up acutely aware of the many ways in which the working world wasn’t working for women. Today, she is an in-demand speaker and writer in the field of women’s leadership, employing a research-based approach to everything from negotiating to networking specifically as a woman. She speaks to women who want to be more successful at work, as well as organizations looking to increase employee engagement.
Valentine is the CEO of Worthmore Strategies, with clients that include multinational companies such as JPMorgan, KPMG, and Bain & Company. She has spoken at Harvard, Wharton, and Kellogg business schools, and numerous women's conferences.
Her work has been featured in the Harvard Business Review, Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, CNBC, Forbes, and Business Insider. Valentine started her career at McKinsey & Company and now lives in Atlanta with her husband and their two active sons. She enjoys reading, running, and any day she doesn’t step on a Lego.

Kathryn Valentine Speaking Topics
Most people think negotiation is about money. But in reality, it’s about much more: respect, freedom, opportunity, balance, and fulfillment. What we’re really negotiating for is the life we want to live.
In this inspiring keynote, nationally recognized negotiation expert Kathryn Valentine reveals her Life Raise Rules—a proven, research-backed strategy that empowers women to ask for what they truly need to walk away with stronger outcomes and stronger relationships.
With a mix of powerful storytelling, practical tools, and energizing insights, Kathryn shows audiences that negotiation isn’t a battle to win, but a path to design a career—and a life—that feels authentic, sustainable, and deeply rewarding.
Audience Takeaways:
- Uncovering what you really want
- Asking with confidence instead of fear
- Reframing ""failures"" as shortcuts to success
- Using rewards to create long-term motivation
- Defining success through your greatest personal currency
Perfect For:
Audiences seeking to unlock motivation, increase employee engagement, and help women thrive at every stage of their careers—and their lives.
This workshop will motivate your audience to take charge of their careers and their lives by successfully identifying and asking for what they want.
Based on more than a decade of research and hundreds of workplace conversations, Kathryn Valentine has created a proven approach to negotiating successfully as a woman.
In this session, participants will learn how to:
- Eliminate roadblocks that keep women from negotiating
- Identify what you really want, including understanding the 76 things you can negotiate besides salary
- Craft your “ask” using collaborative negotiation techniques
- Become a great negotiator, improving both outcomes and relationships
Heavy on practical advice, this workshop is the perfect complement to Kathryn's signature keynote or as a stand alone session.
We’ve all heard about the power of networks. That job placements, promotions, and opportunities are more likely to come from your network than anywhere else. But most women have not proactively created a network that will surface the opportunities that they want – until now.
Based on research showing that men need one type of network to succeed in business, but women need TWO, Kathryn Valentine will break down network dynamics, explain the various roles within one’s network, and walk participants through creating a network that will generate the very opportunities you’re hoping for.
In this session, participants will learn how to:
- How to create a network that makes it easier (and more enjoyable!) to reach your goals
- Why women need a second type of network, what it is, and how to build it
- The difference between mentors and sponsors, and how to cultivate more of the latter
This workshop is suited for all women – from those one year into the workforce up to CEOs.
