The Journey

From TEDx Stage to Screen

Turning performance into presence — one authentic moment at a time.

In Hong Kong’s dynamic creative scene, Kate Sullivan helps people find their voice — literally and figuratively. As a sought-after acting coach, actress, and facilitator, she guides actors, executives, and individuals to connect more deeply with themselves and their audience. A valued member of the Emma Wallace Women community, Kate embodies the grace, confidence, and quiet power we celebrate — women who shine by being unapologetically themselves.

With a background in acting and performance training, Kate has spent years honing her craft both on stage and behind the scenes. Through her work at Kate Sullivan International, she has moved from coaching professional actors to empowering everyday leaders and speakers to communicate with greater authenticity and impact.

Kate's Definition of Empowerment
"Empowerment, to me, is about unlocking your true voice and claiming your story — even when that terrifies you. The things that scare us most — whether it's speaking publicly, being fully seen, sharing what we've survived — are exactly the things that can set us free. I believe our vulnerability is our greatest strength, and when we trust ourselves enough to lead with it, we can empower others to do the same."

Kate’s style is bold, confident, and versatile — perfectly suited to her dynamic industry. Because she often moves between film sets, workshops, coaching sessions, and high-profile events, she gravitates toward pieces that allow her to stand out while feeling comfortable and authentic. She is not shy about wearing colour and loves bold, statement pieces that reflect her personality and presence.

A Moment of Reflection
What is one ritual that fuels your demanding schedule?
Kate: I’ll be honest — I don’t currently have a daily ritual, and I wish I did. Launching something of my own this year has been a real leap of faith, and the stress has been real. What keeps bringing me back is taking a deep breath. A moment for me — not all the noise of “what if”, “what was”, “what could have been”… just me and the present moment.
The Emma Wallace Connection
Kate: I discovered Emma Wallace just over a year ago and knew it was the perfect fit — not only for me, but also for other strong, inspirational women in the entertainment industry. Wearing Emma Wallace, I always know I will feel and look good, even on the busiest days. The clothes are classic, bold, and incredibly comfortable — a dream for someone like me who often doesn’t have time to overthink an outfit.
Piece of Inspiration
Kate: “Why fit in, when you were born to stand out.” — Dr. Seuss. This is a true statement of the importance of being seen, being heard, and being brave. Listen to your gut, your intuition, and not those ‘lines in your head’. — Kate Sullivan
