"Without Kate's business and personal development plan, both myself and my business would not be in the great position it is now - thanks Kate"
Dave Murphy, General Manager, Bristol Street Motors
"Kate was my coach for 6 months while at RetailMeNot. Not only does she have great listening skills and a real interest in people, she also brings a wealth of knowledge and experience which she readily shares during coaching sessions making these very interactive and fruitful. I would recommend her for anyone looking to further their leadership skills."
Séverine Philardeau, Managing Director, E-commerce at TimeOut Digital
"Kate and I worked together at HomeServe. She was very highly regarded by my execs who she coached. The found her coaching style to be beneficial as she gave some useful and easy to follow advice on how they could improve. Seems easy but we know it isn't. We had a brief session where I asked her to work with me on a specific challenge I was having with a very senior individual who I always had some friction with during board meetings. I won't give the details obviously but the high point of the session was after about 30 minutes when she had me to the point of complete self realisation and said those all so helpful but also dreaded words 'you know why and you know what you need to do.' Kate won't know this but she was so right. I've changed my behaviour and it worked. I recommend her highly."
Greg Reed, CEO, HomeServe Membership
"I was about six months into setting up my own acupuncture business when I met Kate. I had been feeling overwhelmed with what I needed to do particularly on the promotion side and time management as I was working at home. I felt I wasn't keeping on top of things. She helped me prioritise what was important to me and what I needed to focus on in those early stages. This helped me move forward with the business and how I was managing all aspects of it. Kate's experience was obvious during the sessions, which were focused but relaxed. I thoroughly recommend Kate if you are any stage of starting a business."
Caiti Buck, Acupuncturist & Founder, Caiti Buck Acupuncture
"Kate is easy to work with, adaptable and prepared to challenge. She has an attentive eye on the talent agenda in everything she approaches."
Jodene Young, HR Director, National Physical Laboratory
“Kate is a fantastic coach. She is extremely perceptive and experienced and is able to be both supportive and challenging in the right amounts to get amazing self-realisation and most importantly action! I would absolutely recommend Kate if you are looking to grow as a person, achieve greater clarity and find the confidence to really step into your potential whether it's taking the next step in your career, handling a challenging role, or figuring out what to do next. She's amazing!”
Nicola Cardillo-Zallo, HR Director, The Old Vic Theatre Company
"Kate is an excellent manager and developer of talent. She worked with me on changes we were trying to bring about in the organisation at that time, often a very difficult role, but one where Kate won respect from both staff and management."
Rod Perry, Executive Chairman, Draper Oakwood Companies
"Kate was a delight to work with at BT, she made it very easy for me to work with her on the talent agenda. She ensured that we assessed our talent pool accurately to enable us to identify the key stars of the future and then she put in place a really innovative leadership development programme to help fill the gaps that had been identified. This work was recognised as a template for best practice. I greatly enjoyed working with Kate, it was great fun but more importantly it was business relevant and delivered real results. I would recommend Kate to anyone for her skill in assessment and development of key capabilities."
David Campbell, Head of National Broadband Network, Batelco
"Kate was extremely helpful in helping me work through a difficult team dynamic during our time at 3i. A combination of innovative thinking in setting up relevant team workshops together with appropriate attention to detail meant that what seemed to be an intractable problem was resolved in a very satisfactory manner. I would have no hesitation in working with Kate again should the opportunity arise and would certainly recommend her to others."
