“It's not often that you meet someone by chance who you feel like has shared the same life experience as you, and has seemingly walked every step with you in your career to date. Yet that is exactly how I feel with Kate, since first meeting her as a service design consultant, then as my career coach.

As my career coach, Kate has built the confidence within myself and my abilities as a leader, and that confidence has led me to trust my 'gut' in my daily life or when making key career decisions. She has this innately empathetic nature which allows her to listen deeply and create the space for positive self reflection and discovery. Starting with an initial coaching questionnaire which is a masterstroke in asking the right questions for reflection and growth, Kate then builds upon this with enjoyable yet meaningful coaching conversations. Her ability to pick up on little things during these conversations, such as the passion when you talk about certain topics or when you're struggling to talk yourself into something you don't really want to do, is what helps you unpack the messiness that is your own brain and start to narrow in on what you truly want.

Through her coaching and regular "tune-ups", Kate has helped me realise my own potential to contribute to a brave new future of work and to find my own "why" - to lead people, teams and organisations towards this "radically human" future and way of being.”
