Coaching Testimonials

January 2025

"Kate is a brilliant coach and on top of that very kind and caring. She asked helpful questions and provided a blank canvas for me to work through my emotions and the challenges when coming returning to work in a new job with a new manager having lost my role during maternity leave."

"My coach (Kate) gave me room to explore what were sometimes complex emotions after returning from maternity leave. She also equipped me with useful coaching tools that I could use outside of our sessions to help me think about my new normal and how to navigate my career and relationships with colleagues. Kate was phenomenal! "

"The continuous support that I received from my coach during the past 4 years when I took 2 consecutive maternity leaves and returned to work...... [Kate}'s guidance was essential for me to do not lose the focus on my professional objectives, keep my motivation during the hard times and remind me of my willingness to grow professionally. I ultimately completed the programme with a job offer for a more senior role, which was the ultimate goal that I pursued with my coach."

"Kate is professional and approachable. The coaching experience has been invaluable to me, especially during the lock-down. We have developed a strong bond and her knowledge and advice kept me focused and more resilient while transitioning back to work. I also value the independent nature of her role, which makes me feel it is safe to share my thoughts and worries. The coaching programme is structured and the regular touch-base sessions helped me evaluating the work/life balance and adjusting my approach to meet the unprecedented challenges faced by a working mother with young children."

The safety of being able to discuss my career, doubts and questions openly with Kate knowing that she wouldn't judge me at all. It really gave me the confidence to make some important decisions. Spreading the coaching sessions out when I got back to work was fundamental to accompany me and help me through those first few months in bite size chunks rather than expecting it all to be done in one session, thanks so much for your flexibility Kate! I thought there would be a general comments section on this evaluation form but can't see it so I want to leave another comment here. Kate was absolutely amazing with me, so patient, encouraging, helpful, reminding me of my strengths when I'd forgotten, helping me to think through decisions and their implications from various perspectives and really caring about me as an individual. Thank you soooooooo much, you've made such a difference to my experience of becoming a mother and a professional at the same time. Thanks for being there with me along the way, you're a star!

"Kate was instrumental in my transition back to work after having my first child. I returned to work during a period of heavy restructuring with a change in my roles/responsibilities. Kate helped me to manage this change by providing valuable, level-headed advice and encouraging me to focus on my strengths and value as an employee. This has helped tremendously with maintaining my confidence after maternity leave and she has helped me to find ways to balance work with motherhood. I would highly recommend Kate"
