From Expat to Expert Guide
Katie Hornor didn’t set out to be an online business mogul or a high-ticket consultant. In fact, her journey began with a calling—not to a stage, but to a mission field. She and her husband, Tap, moved to Mexico in 2007 to serve in ministry. But years later, when support dried up and their family faced the terrifying prospect of not being able to buy groceries, Katie made a decision that would change everything.
With little more than determination and a God-sized dream, she created the first Spanish homeschool curriculum of its kind. No funding, no fancy marketing—just a passion to solve a problem and the grit to see it through. That curriculum didn’t just pay the bills. It launched a movement in Latin America and became the training ground for everything she would later teach thousands of entrepreneurs around the globe.
THEN CAME THE FLAMINGOS
On a family trip to see wild flamingos in 2019, God used those brilliantly unique birds to deliver a download of divine strategy. Flamingos don’t blend in. They thrive because they stand out. And so should entrepreneurs. That moment birthed the Flamingo Advantage®, Katie’s signature framework that has now helped over 8,000 business owners grow their programs, increase their impact, and stop second-guessing their God-given gifts.
But standing out isn’t about ego or fame. It’s about intentional living.
Katie knows that success isn’t one-size-fits-all. After years of following someone else’s idea of “enough,” she redefined success on her own terms: living in alignment with her values, spending time with the people who matter most, and building a business that serves her life—not the other way around.
Today, Katie is renowned as a keynote speaker, a TEDx speaker, an award-winning author, a high performance business coach and strategist to high ticket event hosts. She’s been featured on SUCCESS® Magazine, ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, NYC Time Square and stages around the world. But as her Top 50 Women of Influence Award shows, she’s walked the hard road herself.
More than a speaker with stories, Katie is a guide who’s lived what she teaches. A master at blending timeless biblical truth with modern business strategy, she continues to exemplify boldness, abundance and extraordinary living in every choice she makes.
Katie's clients and audiences learn to build businesses that allow them to blend fulfillment and family,  profit and purpose, and faith and impact. Through her signature programs, retreats, and high-level consulting, she equips high-achieving leaders to stand out in saturated markets, sell with confidence, and lead from a place of authentic alignment with their faith and values.
If you're a leader who’s achieved much but knows there’s more—you don’t just need a coach.
You need a guide who's already walked the road you're on.
That guide is Katie Hornor. Â

What’s with the Flower & the Flamingo?
When the book Faith Like Flamingos: The Christian Business Guide to Walking Out Your Faith in Bold Color became a best-seller in 2020, suddenly everyone began sending Katie flamingo photos and gifts. Every time a reader saw a flamingo they would think of her and her message of embacing your God-gifted uniqueness: your FLAMINGO ADVANTAGE®.
This continued to happen until we decided to embrace the flamingo and incorporate it into the brand. This decision was affirmed when in 2022 The Flamingo Advantage®: How to Leverage Unique, Stay Relevant and Change the World also became a best-seller, and the rest… is history.
The flower in her hair has also become a lovely piece of accidental branding, opening all kinds of doors and conversations for both business and ministry. But the flower is Katie’s personal, physical, visual reminder of whose she is and that her Creator delights in the way He made her to love colors and parties, confetti and fun, as well as object lessons and all things unique.
One of her mottos is “Dress for a party everyday.” But it’s much more than “just a hair piece.” It’s her personal token of God’s love. If you want the full story, check out THIS VIDEO. And watch her Flamingo TEDx Talk HERE.
