Fascinated by the link between positive leadership, organisational happiness and high performance cultures, Katie enjoys the challenge of helping leaders make positive behavioural shifts that have a cascade effect to their direct reports and beyond. Her background in journalism enables her to adeptly understand a person and be able to ask the right questions to facilitate change and breakthrough.

She is an Accredited Professional Coach through the EMCC and is also about to qualify as a Medical Coach, having been studying with MCI (Israel) for the past 18 months. Her coaching work is increasingly focused on helping clients to manage their mindsets around illness, stress and burnout.
