Testimonials

  • Delivering a Meeting of the Minds: AmCham Leaders Programme, Dublin

    ‘Awesome engagement and energy throughout the session. A lively pace and easy to grasp analogies, thanks a lot, Kate’

  • Working with a Charity Trustee group, Wirrel

    ‘We all got so much from it  – including the basis of a Strategy! I’m delighted! It was also enlightening to have the opportunity listen to, and observe others, in our team; I learned so much!’

  • As part of a Thinking Partnership with a senior leader, Surrey

    ‘I cannot begin to describe how impactful this process has been as a means to create space and access thoughts through simply saying them out loud, without interruption! Through our discussions I was able to progress ideas, evolve my perspectives on challenging experiences and discovered new ideas that I could implement. This has really helped me professionally and personally.’

  • Coaching a senior leader in the NHS, Worcester

    ‘It has helped me to redefine myself as a leader and not a project manager, I recognise my contributions and natural skillset. I can give myself permission to take a ‘fire break’ and be realistic about what I can deliver’

    This has been a really helpful experience; I did not understand where my own personal barriers and challenges lay and did not always know how to start considered these issues. The coaching helped me to step back and take a pause, to calm some of my own ‘need to please’ enthusiastic behaviours (advice monster, getting to the answer quickly and not bringing others with me) and to take time to reflect and recognise the need to think.’

    ‘The coaching has helped me to focus on clear thinking, to allow myself time to reflect and consider work and actions before these overload my mind. It has supported the acceptability to say no and decline work or ‘asks’ and to request additional information to clarify the outcomes required before undertaking tasks.
    It has boosted my own personal self-esteem, giving me additional confidence in my own abilities, skills and personality to apply these to work outcomes. My goals and aspirations have been updated, it has unlocked a need for further personal development and challenge and given me the confidence to seek both.
