Testimonials

Feedback from coaching and workshops

Working with Kate as my Executive Coach was transformative. Through the Immunity to Change process, she helped me uncover what was holding me back and guided me in building new ways of leading through change. Kate’s insight, support, and thoughtful approach made the experience both challenging and rewarding, I’ve grown as a leader and as a person. 

Nicole, Director of People Development

Working with Kate has allowed me to reflect on my approach towards reaching my short- and long-term goals. During our sessions, she directs me to come up with specific action items that I can begin implementing immediately to improve my work efficiency. In our time together I have already made significant progress with my research and writing productivity.

Jessica, Assistant Professor

Kate is the best. Working with Kate has been a wonderful experience. She cares, she listens deeply, and she helped me identify the missing pieces. I feel more confident and with clearer steps after every session. I highly recommend Kate as a coach. She is awesome.

Gregory, CEO Network Security Firm

I highly recommend Professor Kate for leadership coaching. In our work together, she helped me enhance my leadership skills, particularly in communication and decision-making. Professor Kate combines deep insight with practical strategies, empowering me to lead more effectively and confidently.  

Arslan, IT Professional.

I highly recommend Kate to anyone seeking career support, whether you have clear goals and need structure and accountability, or are navigating a career pivot filled with unknowns. I was in the latter group and worked with Kate during a major career transition. Her patience as she guided me to learn more about myself and my career goals was invaluable.

Kate offers thoughtful, practical guidance and asks the right questions to prompt meaningful reflection and sustained progress. Most importantly, her support helped me gain the confidence to pursue what I had previously sidestepped: a career aligned with my values and non-negotiables.

Excellent presenter! Great program.

Professor Kate helped me become much clearer about my goals and how I can achieve them despite all of the different responsibilities that I have.

I now have strategies for better managing my time and energy and ensuring that I can focus on the things that are important to me and not just all of the demands and interruptions from other people.

Professor Kate helped me to appreciate how people see things differently and how to build common ground.

It was new to me to understand my Myers Briggs preferences. I am now in a better position to have productive conversations with people and take decisions in my personal and professional life.

I know myself better now which is helpful for me to decide what I want in my life.
