Grow your business
with purpose
Coaching, AI training, and proven systems to grow your business. Everything you need to level up your real estate career.
Kathleen Black International
One of North America's top real estate coaching companies. KBI has helped thousands of agents and teams across North America increase their production, sharpen their skills, and build businesses that actually work for them.
As a coach with KBI, Tory works directly with agents and team leaders to implement proven systems, develop leadership, and create sustainable growth. This is not theory. This is the real playbook that top performers use.
Why KBI Is Different
Kathleen Black International isn't your typical real estate coaching company. Most coaching programs focus on one thing: sales tactics. KBI takes a holistic approach, combining high-performance leadership development, mindset mastery, and scalable systems to transform how success feels in both your life and your business.
Holistic Coaching
KBI doesn't just teach you how to sell more homes. They address the whole picture: your leadership, your mindset, your systems, and your quality of life. Performance is designed to support the life you actually want, not just a bigger production number.
Heart-Led & Values-Driven
Every framework is rooted in integrity and self-awareness, not ego or hustle culture. Decisions are guided by alignment, not grind.
Brand-Agnostic Systems
The systems and strategies you learn serve you, not a brokerage, brand, or platform. They travel with you no matter where your career goes.
Proven Track Record
With over 15 years of experience and $30B+ in contributed growth for top one-percent teams and elite leaders, KBI is North America's leading female-founded real estate coaching platform and the #1 team coaching company in Canada.
Lifestyle-Focused
KBI believes high performance should support a life of calm and longevity, not burnout. Their approach is designed for leaders who want to grow sustainably.

I attended Tory's Social Media and AI class last night and I was blown away. I left with so many tools, tricks and tips to elevate my social media game with the help of AI. I would highly recommend this class to any business owner looking to leverage social media and AI.
I attended the session with basic knowledge of Instagram, ChatGPT but left feeling more confident in exploring the different platforms. Tory was great in her delivery and the overall content was excellent.
