Your Presence, Your Power - Developed, Not Discovered
Black Belt Presence - BBP- challenges the myth of natural-born leaders. Presence isn't a gift you're born with – it's a skill you develop, just like a martial artist masters their craft. Your power doesn't lie in some innate talent, but in your commitment to continuous growth and intentional practice. Everyone has the potential to develop a powerful, memorable presence – but this transformation requires dedication, training, and the right guidance.
BBP is rooted in the philosophy that greatness is built, not bestowed. Just as a white belt becomes a black belt through consistent training, your professional presence can be systematically developed, refined, and elevated. The method of BBP provides the tools, techniques, and transformative experiences that unlock your true potential. Your presence is not something to be discovered, but something to be consciously crafted, layer by layer, with purpose and precision.
At BlackBeltPresence, we don't just help you find your power – we help you build it, one strategic skill at a time. Your presence is your most powerful professional asset, and we're here to help you develop it to its fullest potential.

"I had the privilege of working with Kat during her BBP workshop in summer 2024. Many people offer feedback that’s easy to hear and easy to give, but few care enough to share the uncomfortable truths that truly drive growth. Kat is one of those rare individuals.

Kat's BBP Story
Black Belt Presence is the essence of what I have learned.
Throughout my career in four different countries I was fortunate enough to experience the dynamics and qualities at play to achieve mastery from various perspectives:
-
Being directed as an actress
-
Directing others as a filmmaker
-
Supporting growth as a coach
-
Matching a performance as voice artist
-
Achieving mental and physical mastery in kick-boxing from a white belt to a black belt and, last but not least...
-
Defying gravity at pole dancing.
My life journey has taught me that at the center of every convincing and extraordinary performance is skilfulness, knowledge, preparedness and confidence.
With the method of Black Belt Presence I am sharing all my experience and insights with you to help you being the most seen, the most heard and the most recognisable person in every room.
