Dr. Katie Keller Wood is someone who deeply understands the challenges we face when our work holds deep meaning—because when our work matters, “balance” often feels impossible. And for those of us doing high-impact work—whether in education, social work, healthcare, or entrepreneurship—the risk of burnout and compassion fatigue is even higher.
Katie has lived this reality, and she’s on a mission to help us shift the conversation from chasing “work-life balance” to cultivating true alignment. She believes that when our lives are aligned, we create space for authentic thriving—for ourselves, and for the people we serve.
Katie grew up in the world of education, where discovering Montessori philosophy transformed her perspective—not only about teaching, but about life. Today, she directs the CMStep training program, working with hundreds of Montessori teachers across the U.S. and abroad, while also teaching at institutions like the University of Virginia, Xavier University, and the University of Wisconsin–River Falls. She is a sought-after keynote speaker and coach, known as “a breath of fresh air” for the way she captivates audiences and makes human-centered development come alive at every stage of life.
In her forthcoming book: Alignment, Katie challenges the myth of balance and shows us why alignment is the key to resilience, impact, and a more equitable and thriving world.
