“Very strong, empathetic and sympathetic. (Katherine's) encouragement and direction have helped me … focus my efforts in a way that will help me succeed.”
David Enticknap, Head of Client Management, CLSA
“Katherine is an exceptional listener and has a great deal of insight,
focus and empathy…The program is a highly useful life tool. It is
particularly valuable for the busiest executives, especially those,
ironically, who find it most difficult to carve out time for the
three-hour sessions.”
Richard Scanlon, Managing Director, Crescent Global Capital Management
“Katherine has a nice easy listening style and has had enough
experience in the commercial world to build good discussions around
issues. I found the overall experience very useful….my thinking on some
issues went for 30% clarity to over 80% clarity as a result of our
encounters.”
John Irving, Managing Director, DIAGEO
“I have strong personality so Katherine worked out well for me. She was
firm and unobtrusive. Frank and helpful. That style works well for
me….I subscribe that learning and change behaviour in adults can be
achieved through coaching. I can see the value of a coaching culture
for myself and throughout the corporation.”
