"It may be that when we no longer know what to do
we have come to our real work,
and that when we no longer know which way to go
we have come to our real journey..."
– Wendell Berry
Why work with a coach?
-
You'd like to work through a challenge in your career or elsewhere – a tricky relationship or situation, a transition or new direction
-
You're dealing with change – either wanting to make it happen or wishing it hadn't
-
You know what you want but can't quite figure out how to get there. Or, you're not sure what you do want so you'd like to explore your options
-
You want to make the most of your talents and live according to your values
-
You'd like the time and space to talk to someone who listens, rather than telling you what you 'should' be doing
What my clients say
About me
My coaching style is reflective and curious, supportive with a little challenge. I love seeing people having 'Aha!' moments, growing in self-awareness and confidence and rediscovering their zest.
In my professional life I've been a journalist at The Sunday Times, a freelance publicist, a managing editor at London Business School, and a head of content and senior communications lead at IMD.
I trained with Maximum Performance and am ICF-certified at ACC level, working towards full accreditation.
"I have had the wonderful experience of being coached by Kathy. She is warm, kind, insightful and helps challenge existing thinking or barriers. Great opportunity to reflect on one's own thought patterns. Incredibly lovely to be coached by her and have felt and noticed a difference within myself within a few weeks." – Toni, CIO
"Kathy is a highly empathetic coach and a careful listener. She asked insightful questions that helped me identify what was most important to me, at a point in my career where I felt I was at a crossroads. She gave me encouragement when I felt stuck and the confidence to explore my options. Throughout our sessions and her follow ups, Kathy helped me to stay focused on what was fundamental and, most importantly, to take consistent action towards my goals." – Mary, Senior Manager
