On leadership development facilitation and coaching

“Kate is an inspiring and passionate coach who helps you to drill down and understand what your true values are and how you can incorporate them into everything that you do. She encourages you to view yourself objectively to better appreciate your strengths and areas for improvements and provides you a pathway to improve the areas you want to work on.

 

After working with Kate, I feel like I have a better appreciation of how people respond to things differently and now have the skills and tools to effectively engage with them. Kate’s guidance, coaching and mentoring has provided me with the ability to engage in fierce conversations that garner positive outcomes, which in the past would have seemed uncomfortable or unapproachable.

 

Kate has helped me to establish a new career trajectory which will help me fulfil my goals while embodying my values and she has provided me the skills, knowledge and tools to ensure I am prepared for any obstacle in the future.”

On Group Coaching

"Our experience with you was very timely and enriching for our Regional Services leadership group - both on an individual basis and as a cohort. Through your personal and generous approach, we have all gained much wider perspectives on coaching, leadership, self-awareness and feedback, and have grown significantly as a result". Participant, Western Australia

On Coaching

"My coaching experience with Kate was valuable and timely.  I’d recently commenced a new role requiring me to build relationships with a new cohort of managers and to progress some potentially challenging initiatives.  Kate helped me to understand and appreciate my strengths and to capitalise on them. Kate helped me formulate my ideas into a clear purpose, vision and plan which I’m successfully progressing with support of the manager cohort. I’ve become more confident and effective". Andrew Maughan, DWER, Western Australia

On Executive Coaching

• Kate is very supportive and nurturing whilst also extending and challenging one’s leadership – she pushes you to dig deep into your assumptions and preferences which can devolve past emotions and experiences.

• The coaching has provided me with perspectives and insights that I was not able to identify myself

• Kate provides practical tools and approaches to apply directly to current work situations.

• The coaching is impactful for self-development and on the organisation". Fleur Coaker, DWER, Western Australia

​On Group Coaching 

" The power of Kate’s coaching approach for our organisation was in the bespoke individual and group coaching program she designed for our cohort.  We had a chance for deep self-reflection and also learnt coaching techniques to take to our teams.  

 

Our group of Regional Manager peers undertook 6 coaching sessions with Kate in parallel then at key points throughout the program came together as a group to have group coaching and reflection sessions and build our collective leadership.  This framework dramatically enhanced the benefits of the coaching by greater reflection and sharing of the learnings plus being able to hold each other to account going forward.

 

Kate has a very advanced ability to draw out people’s leadership challenges and their potential and was able to connect across the entire cohort with a diverse set of personalities.  She has a broad knowledge base in coaching and leadership theory that she draws from to scaffold the personal reflection which greatly amplifies the value of the coaching.

 

In a busy life, time committed to leadership development is extremely important, but time is precious and therefore must have great impact.  Kate makes great impact". Susie Williams, DWER, Western Australia
