"Katy first became my Business Coach during the Help to Grow Course. Katy specialises in Culture Change, Organisational Culture and Human Resources. This is exactly what I needed coaching on, given that my business was going through a restructure. I decided to continue my coaching sessions with Katy beyond the course. I found the sessions boosted my confidence as a leader to tackle some of the inevitable challenges that come with a restructure and culture change. As a result of the coaching, I have improved my communication and engagement with the team which I believe has helped me manage the restructure more smoothly.
I would definitely recommend coaching for anyone interested in developing their skills, knowledge and confidence as a leader.”
