Welcome, I’m Glad You're Here!

High performers are often the first to jump in, fix the problem, save the day. That’s what makes them exceptional team contributors — but it can make the shift to management incredibly challenging. I know as I have been there.

But over 35 years of leading teams of people I have developed the skills to not only help you lead with clarity and confidence - but provide the tools required.

A bit about me

​I'm Katrina Casaclang, and I founded Valued Asset Coaching and Consulting with the mission to help individuals and teams grow as leaders, managers, and employers of choice.

​

My career began as a police officer at 18, and since then, I have worked across youth services, mental health, and the community sector, spanning government, private, and non-profit organisations.

This diverse experience has given me a deep understanding of the challenges people face at all levels—whether navigating rigid hierarchies in highly regulated environments or adapting to the demands of resource-limited, fast-moving workplaces.

I have seen firsthand how leadership styles must evolve to suit different structures, and I take pride in helping leaders find practical, personalised approaches that work within their unique context.

​

I am passionate about supporting leaders in managing the complexities of today’s workforce, bridging generational gaps, and fostering environments where individuals and teams can reach their full potential.

Fun Facts About Me

why i understand

  • 13 years as an NSW police officer taught me how to stay calm when everything else is not.

  • I understand what managing across the generations means - I have three children and 2 step children aged 20 to 41!

  • Favourite coffee shop? Ask me — I have 7 local recommendations. have three children and 2 step children aged 20 to 41

  • I prefer practical over theoretical — give me a messy problem, and I’ll give you a workable plan.

I’ve run national youth programs and facilitated restorative justice conferences.

I’ve coached leaders who’ve gone on to scale their own programs.

35 years working in community roles — I’ve seen the problems so I know the practical fixes. And I'm someone who understands that there is no one strategy that will solve everything - neurodivergent brains, trauma, generational differences, funding and chaos is what leadership really is. But I can help you discover the path to enjoying the process.
