Speaker Bio
Katie Godden
Communication is the thread that holds every conversation, every relationship, and every decision together - and Katie Godden has built her career helping people strengthen that thread so it carries more weight, more clarity and more impact.
As one of Australia’s leading communication consultants, Katie teaches leaders, teams, agribusiness families, and rural industries how to turn everyday conversations into their strategic advantage. Drawing on over a decade studying communication & behavioural patterns, almost two decades of teaching, and a lifetime living on farms, Katie brings a grounded, deeply human understanding of how communication shapes trust, performance, leadership, culture and connection.
Whether she’s working with a corporate people-leader, managers or a family farming enterprise weighing its next generation of decisions, Katie brings the same core belief: When you improve communication, you improve everything.
Her signature Communication frameworks and rural-focused Grassroots Communication training have helped leaders, coaches, educators, and multi-generational farming families navigate high-level conversations with more clarity, confidence, and respect. Whether she’s working with a corporate people-leader, managers or a family farming enterprise weighing its next generation of decisions, Katie brings the same core belief:
Raised on the land, Katie understands the pressures, pride, and generational dynamics that shape rural businesses. Her clients value her straight-shooting, people-first approach with practical tools, interactive fun & no performative corporate language. Just conversations that get to the heart of what matters so people can move forward together.
Today, Katie works with people across Australia and the globe and has helped them to build their skills individually, in workplaces and family enterprises where communication strengthens culture, reduces friction, and supports better results for everyone.
Because great communication isn’t about talking more - it’s about talking in a way that creates clarity, trust, and momentum.
If you’re planning an event, podcast or workshop and want your people walking away with practical tools, clearer communication, and a whole lot less friction — reach out. I’ll help you shape something that genuinely hits the mark. Send me a message and tell me about your group. I’ll let you know exactly what I can bring to the room.
