About me
Too often a high performing employee is promoted to manage a small team without foundational leadership skills. Their lack of knowledge and experience creates unnecessary pressure across teams and can cause stress, absenteeism and conflict.
This is why I facilitate workshops for new managers focusing on core management skills. My other workshops focus on reframing stress and increasing wellbeing.
My facilitation style is open, friendly and challenging and I am always focused on providing service, quality and impact. Participants leave my workshops with practical tools and knowledge that supports their personal and professional growth in a balanced and healthy way.
"I focus on employee wellbeing and new manager training because I believe managers are the key to happy, healthy and productive teams. When a manager understands how their behaviour impacts and influences their team, they start developing their emotional intelligence, building trust and creating the space for having healthy conflict.
Managers who focus on employee growth and wellbeing produce loyal, productive employees and teams."
Below is feedback from managers who put their managers through the Advanced Management Programme
"I’ve seen Luca make a real shift in how he shows up as a leader. His Achiever instinct is still his engine, but he’s started using it to set direction and create clarity for others rather than carrying the weight himself. What has impressed me most is how he’s begun to step into the mindset of a people manager - thinking ahead, structuring decisions, and guiding his team instead of defaulting to execution. It’s been great to watch him grow into a more confident, strategic leader with real upward momentum."

"Maarten has grown into a far more confident and intentional leader, guiding his team with clarity and purpose. He now empowers people to play to their strengths, challenges them to go beyond what they thought possible, and drives results that speak for themselves. His development has been remarkable to watch."

"I’ve seen Sara grow noticeably in her self-awareness, professionalism, and resilience. In one of our conversations, she consciously stepped back from ‘doing it for the team’ and instead created the space for them to take ownership - a clear shift toward leading change with intention. Her natural empathy and strong green profile are real assets: when channelled into the right team environment, they become a genuine superpower, and it’s been great to watch her lean into that."

This is what Ivana has to say about her coaching experience with me:
"We often get caught up in everyday life and lack the time and energy to look deeply into ourselves - to distinguish between our own genuine wants and needs and the expectations, goals, and stories we’ve learned from others rather than discovered within.
During my coaching sessions with Kathryn, I quickly realised what genuinely gives me pleasure and joy, what keeps me energised, and which parts of my work feel transactional rather than fulfilling. Kathryn helped me gain this clarity with insight, presence, and thoughtful questions.
Kathryn supported me in taking the first concrete steps toward my goals and encouraged me along the way, while holding me accountable for my own desires and plans.
Kathryn has had a truly positive impact on my life, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who is questioning their life direction, purpose, or looking to find their own way and begin a journey toward a more fulfilling life."
