--- title: YMCA WorkWell Blog | Dr. Kate Toth (2) description: Dr. Kate Toth, CHRL, ACC is the Director of Coaching & Partner Success at YMCA WorkWell, a social enterprise on a mission to improve workplace well-being across Canada’s nonprofit and charitable sectors. With a background in coaching, organizational development, HR and post-secondary education, she’s passionate about helping purpose-driven teams build cultures where people actually want to come to work. At WorkWell, Kate helps organizations turn data into meaningful action - combining research-backed tools with human-centred approaches that spark real change. She’s especially energized by reimagining leadership, scaling impact sustainably, and using technology (including AI!) to support people-first workplaces. Outside of work, she’s happiest kayaking, sipping tea on her back deck, reading a great book, and getting her butt kicked at board games by her 12-year-old.
