"No matter how big or small the task, no matter how overwhelmed or inadequate I might feel, no matter how difficult the journey...God is faithful and when I stay connected to Him, He gives me the courage to press on."

Kathe Wunnenberg
Leader, Speaker, Author, Connector, Encourager
Kathe Wunnenberg is known for her ability to connect with people and offer biblical solutions for real-life problems. God has sustained her through her parents' divorce, family substance abuse, cross-country moves, corporate success, career transitions, ministry leadership, depression, ADD, infertility, adoption, three miscarriages, the death of her infant son, and having babies in her forties.
At ease in a business suit or blue jeans, on a platform or in person, with leaders or anyone in need of encouragement, Kathe shares from her heart with warmth, humor, enthusiasm and transparency. Her creative, interactive style breaks down barriers and makes any large group feel small and intimate.
In 1992, Kathe left a 15-year media career to serve as the Executive Director for a non-profit ministry to businesswomen. In 2000, Kathe reluctantly followed God's lead to let go of the ministry she loved. During her time of rest and re-focus, God birthed a new passion and dream in her heart. In July 2005 she started, Hopelifters Unlimited, a Christian networking, training and resource organization.
Kathe is the author of three books by Zondervan Publishing: Longing for a Child, Grieving the Child I Never Knew and Grieving the Loss of a Loved One. She is a contributing author to several others.
Kathe is a conference and retreat speaker and an advisor/consultant to a variety of organizations. She is on staff with Speak Up With Confidence, a seminar that teaches you to share your personal story. She loves to help people realize their dreams and achieve their potential for God.
Kathe holds a Bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Missouri, and a Master's degree in Business Administration from the University of Phoenix.
Kathe is married to her college sweetheart, Rich, and they have three sons. She loves lattes, cool weather and trees, but ironically lives in Phoenix, Arizona with her family.
