EP3: The journey to becoming a born again truth teller with Kate Rizzi
“It goes all the way back to my childhood and being really embarrassed and ashamed of my circumstances”
In Episode 3 of Turning the Tables I interview Kate Rizzi an educator living in Maryland USA.
Having a father who was gay and growing up as a Catholic in the 1960’s was a challenge to say the least for Kate. The realisation of this was only revealed in her early 20’s when her father ,who was dying of cancer, showed her some military papers that revealed that, unbeknown to Kate, he had been ‘honourably discharged’ from the air force for being gay.
In addition ,having a mother who was an addict, meant the truth, in the early years of Kate’s life, was hard to come by and cultivated a story telling proclivity in her which she described as a ‘management issue’!
But the adversity of her upbringing also gave her an ability from an early age to “look beyond the obvious surface level of life”.
This ability has ultimately driven her, after originally working as a management consultant, to dedicate her life to being an educator with a passion to help people of all ages to maximise their learning ability.
Over 20 years Kate has taught across subject matters as diverse as maths and philosophy and worked from elementary level to university. She is a local and national speaker and presenter across the US on education.
She is now a practicing holistic educational consultant committed to developing a better learning practice that embraces the individual not the system. Now the CEO of ‘Uncharted Territory of You’ she creates customised learning experiences that help students accomplish their goals.
Listen to Kate tell her fascinating story of how the adversity in her life became a gift that gave her an insight into people that has driven her love of learning and her ability to help others to overcome barriers to reaching their potential.
