Hi, I’m Katie Vogel

I'm the founder and CEO of 30 Day Leader. As a former Chief Marketing Officer of a $300 million company, I know firsthand the challenges of leading in high-pressure environments. I’ve been the youngest leader in the room, the only woman at the table, and the manager tasked with turning resistance into results—all while balancing the demands of a thriving career and family.

I built 30 Day Leader to empower others to confidently take back the reins and lead with clarity, resilience, and impact.

This challenge is packed with the same proven strategies I’ve taught to top leaders and used myself to build and scale businesses, lead teams, and navigate complex workplace dynamics. 

What’s Inside the Challenge?
