For go-getters who are ready to become the kind of leader people can't stop talking about — not by faking it on LinkedIn, but by doing the deep work to actually become it.
"I was really nervous to get started on LinkedIn. I didn't know where to begin, what to say, or how to show up in a way that felt like me. Kateesha gave me the clarity and confidence I needed, not just to take that first step, but to build real momentum in the critical early days of my business."
"She does not just teach LinkedIn, she helps you understand how to connect, tell stories and build relationships, which is where the real magic happens. I highly recommend Kateesha to anyone wanting to elevate their LinkedIn presence, strengthen their personal brand, and build meaningful visibility."
"The accountability, not the soft kind. The 'Kristin, you said you were doing this, so let's get shit done!' kind. That forces action and actually moves your business forward instead of letting ideas sit on a shelf. KH#2 is bloody good egg! You will never lose by investing in yourself and working with Kateesha."
"Kateesha has an incredible ability to translate your professional story into a profile that feels authentic, engaging, and strategically positioned. She makes what can feel overwhelmingly real simple and achievable. I'm already seeing the benefits and feel much more confident in how I'm showing up online."
"We've just wrapped up the BeKnown Academy — it was such a great experience for us all! It never felt like just another training, it was engaging, useful, and actually enjoyable. We'd highly recommend it to anyone wanting to grow their LinkedIn presence and elevate their business!"
"You really put LinkedIn on the map for us. You truly have a unique gift in presentations, involving the audience and making it a 2-way engagement. I highly recommend you as the ultimate specialist on LinkedIn and am happy to share our experience with anyone considering looking at LinkedIn a bit deeper."
Most people trying to build their presence on LinkedIn already know what to do. They've read the books, bought the courses, hired the coaches. And yet something keeps getting in the way.
You post and delete because something inside you says "who are you to say this?"
You show up differently on social than you do in real life — and it feels hollow.
You've achieved a lot, but there's a version of yourself you know you're not yet fully being.
You want influence that's earned — that comes from who you are, not just what you say.
BeKnown Academy is a 6-month program that combines LinkedIn strategy with shadow work — so you don't just build a brand, you become someone worthy of having influence.
We go beneath the surface. Identify the patterns, beliefs and blind spots holding you back — and do the real work to shift them. Because who you're being is always more powerful than what you're saying.
Build a LinkedIn presence that actually reflects the real you — your story, your authority, your point of view. Content that attracts the right people because it comes from a place of truth, not performance.
Surround yourself with go-getters who are serious about growth — across all industries, all stages of business, all with one thing in common: they refuse to stay where they are.
Your profile will work for you 24/7 — attracting inbound opportunities, leads and conversations without you having to chase anyone.
Not just online — but in real life. In your relationships, your family, your business and your team. The inner work changes everything.
When people see you as a trusted leader in your space, the right clients come to you. Your visibility becomes your most powerful revenue-generating asset.
Your message will reach people you've never met — creating impact that goes far beyond your existing network and the room you're currently in.

Everyone who meets you is blown away. But online? Nobody knows you exist. And that gap is costing you.
You see people with half your experience getting all the opportunities, the speaking gigs, the inbound leads. It drives you crazy — and it should.
The ideas are there. The expertise is real. But every time you sit down to post, something blocks you and the words just don't come out right.
In person you're magnetic, confident, commanding. Online you second-guess every word. The disconnect is exhausting — and people can feel it.
You post, it feels fake, you delete it. Or you show up for two weeks then fall off. Strategy without the inner work will never stick.
You know there's a bigger, bolder version of you waiting. You're done waiting for permission. You just need the right environment to become them.
The algorithm, the content formats, the engagement tactics — it's a full-time job just figuring out how it works. You need someone to cut through the noise and show you exactly what to do.
You're running a business, leading a team, living a life. We get it. That's why the Academy is built around making your presence work smarter — not consuming more of your time.
AI is everywhere and it's overwhelming. Inside the Academy we cut through the noise and show you exactly which tools to use to create content faster, work smarter, and get your time back.
Six months of structured transformation, live coaching, community and events — all designed to work together.
Weekly live sessions with Kateesha covering mindset, brand strategy, content creation, and self-leadership frameworks.
Guided deep-dive exercises designed to surface and shift the internal patterns that are keeping you playing small.
A personalised approach to your content — built around your story, your voice and the audience you want to attract.
Complimentary ticket to the BeKnown Accelerator event — a two-day immersive experience with fellow academy members.
An intimate group of ambitious, like-minded people you can share wins, ask questions and stay accountable with.
Ongoing support, feedback on your content, and accountability from someone who has built her own influential brand from the ground up.
The BeKnown Accelerator is a two-day immersive event for Academy members and ambitious go-getters who want more — more clarity, more connection, more momentum.
Think live coaching, panel discussions, hot seats, and real conversations with people at all different stages of business — from startups to seven-figure founders.
Your ticket is included as part of your BeKnown Academy membership.
Kateesha Hembrow is the founder of BeKnown — a personal branding and self-leadership company for ambitious founders, leaders and business owners who are done playing small.
She grew her own LinkedIn presence from 30 connections to over 17,000 followers — not by following a formula, but by doing the inner work and showing up as the real her. That's exactly what she teaches inside the Academy.
To date, Kateesha has coached 510+ business leaders across 45 different industries. The common thread? When people stop performing and start becoming, everything changes.
That's why BeKnown Academy exists. Equal parts strategy, shadow work, and surrounding yourself with the right people.

BeKnown Academy — 6 Month Programme
Applications reviewed personally by Kateesha. You'll hear back within 48 hours.
Go-getters aged roughly 25–50 who are serious about growth — whether you're a startup founder, an established CEO, a coach or a leader. Industry doesn't matter. Attitude does.
Yes. We build your presence from wherever you are right now. What matters is your willingness to show up authentically, not your current follower count.
Shadow work is the process of exploring the parts of yourself you've pushed aside — the fears, the patterns, the limiting beliefs. It's what allows you to show up without the mask.
You submit a short application and Kateesha reviews it personally. If it's a fit, she'll reach out directly to chat. No pushy sales calls.
Yes — payment options are available. This will be discussed when Kateesha reaches out after your application.
Cohorts are intake-based with limited spots. Submit your application and Kateesha will be in touch with current availability.
This comes up a lot — and it's almost always a sign that you need this more, not less. The Academy is designed around busy founders and leaders. The bigger risk is another 6 months passing with nothing changing.
Our Academy members span 45+ industries — from mortgage brokers, buyers agents, financial planners, leadership consultants, wellbeing consultants, coaches, and beyond. If you sell to people, LinkedIn works for you. Period.
You just haven't done the work to fully become them yet. That's what we're here for.
