"I thoroughly recommend these coaching sessions….. they can change the way you work."
Even after only a couple of coaching sessions the impact's been really noticeable in my approach to work and senior leadership. Katy's worked with me to identify areas where I felt less comfortable and we've together put in place tools that facilitates a reliable approach, turning negative feelings into positive influencing situations. Our sessions and the “Homework” in between have enabled me to find my voice again and in a way that can give the greatest impact, in challenging situations working strategically and systematically. We've used focused meditation, breathing techniques, increasing the mental capacity to live in the moment, awakening a sense of awareness to surroundings, talked through self-analysis, and leadership techniques. Katy's really good at recording and then speaking back the words I described, and then a very simple process of using post it notes with reminder statements made all the difference in approach to meetings. I've found an inner strength with the work, an inner discernment that we've developed together. so that now I feel inspired, energised and can speak again with authority with my colleagues, in the confidence that they value what I have to say. Katy's been a source to channel my thinking, a supportive listener, offering constructive feedback that's allowed me to clearly see how I can develop and what I need to do to action change.

She's extremely insightful and able to identify specific thoughts and behavioural patterns that were holding me back, and that we could work on together. She provided me with excellent tools and resources to deal with those problems. I had four sessions with Katy and I feel much better able to help and guide myself through rough patches.
