“Climate change is no longer distant. It’s here and it’s personal. The storms we face of disconnection, climate anxiety, and policy stagnation are real. But so are effective responses. Through coaching, empowerment, TEDx leadership, and bold local action, Kat helps you design your practical leadership path forward. We’re not just weathering the storm. We’re shaping our finer forecast.”
Storms We Face. Solutions We Shape.
PLUGGED IN, CHARGED UP
The 13,287-Mile EV Roadtrip That Could Save Everything (Including My Trust in Humanity)
-
Meet Kat Haber: former diapered raccoon wrangler, current climate crusader, and the woman crazy enough to drive an EV 13,287+ miles across America to save wild places, spread peace, and prove that electric cars won't leave you stranded next to confused cows in Kansas.
THE MISSION (aka "Operation: Don't Let Earth Become Mars")
18 Rotary Clubs (because Rotarians are secretly superheroes)
3 TEDx events (where ideas get their big-kid pants)
1 TED NEXT event
Multiple climate coaching sessions (therapy for the planet)
One MASSIVE traveling art installation that'll make America's longest love letter to Earth
Spotlight 5 Alaskan wild places at risk + celebrate 1 we already saved (VICTORY DANCE!)
-
Because someone who once outscored an Olympic gold medalist while doing aerial freestyle skiing AND walked across America for climate action is now willing to trust her life to charging stations. If that's not commitment, what is?
CREDENTIALS THAT ACTUALLY MATTER:
11th of 1,500 cadets in USAFA's second class of women (translation: tough as nails)
600+ TEDx Talks organized (professional idea-wrangler)
20 years on WILD Foundation Board (Earth's lawyer)
That raccoon diaper thing (don't ask, but it shows character)
-
Because the only thing better than saving the world is doing it with friends, hot Egyptian Licorice Tea, and an intuitive navigator.
-
"But what about charging?!"
Listen, my Tesla's trip planner is basically my personal pit crew with a PhD in logistics. It calculates charging stops down to the minute, tracks real-time battery levels, weather, traffic, and probably my coffee intake. The "spider map" shows exactly how far I can go before becoming a very expensive push-cart, and regenerative braking sneakily charges me every time I slow down.
Translation: The only "low battery" warnings will be for my laptop, not my ride.

One woman. One Tesla. 13,287 miles. Infinite possibility.
From Alaska's threatened wild places to Vail's legendary back bowls, this isn't just a roadtrip—it's a rolling rally cry for renewable energy, peacebuilding, and keeping the places we love wild and wonderful.
Ready to plug in and charge up the future?
Because the only thing better than saving the world is doing it with friends, hot cocoa, and a really good GPS.

Get answers to common questions about climate leadership and making real impact
-
I’ve condensed 12 climate science courses and a 3,500-mile, 8 month march into climate wisdom you can use before your coffee’s even brewed (or in my case, before my smoothie’s blended). You’ll leave knowing exactly what to do Monday morning to protect your family, impress your neighbors, and possibly make a polar bear tear up with gratitude for the good you are scaling through your company..
-
I walked across America for climate and still felt like the only one in the room who knew what an albedo effect was-distinct from libido. Once you find your tribe, you’ll have the backup, laughs, and shared snacks that make action feel like a movement instead of a marathon.
-
If you’ve ever grinned at fresh powder or a killer sunset, you’re already halfway to being a climate leader. I’ll help you turn that stoke into boardroom wins, a joiner or a leader of neighborhood projects, and decisions that make Earth want to bake you cookies.
-
My TRUST framework is so clear you could explain it to your dog—who will then probably fetch you a solar panel. You’ll know what works, what to ditch, and how to scale it so everyone from your CFO to your cousin can see and feel the wins.
-
Rotary, TEDx, and climate networks are basically Tinder for action junkies—minus the awkward first dates. Once you match, you’ll swap ideas, trade courage, and collaborate so effectively your impact starts trending.
