Kate has proved invaluable in assisting the change of culture work we are doing. She adds value with her thoughts, ideas, insights and experience in the clear, concise, constructive and collaborative approach she employs.

Focused on delivery of the agreed objectives, Kate facilitates dialogue by the development of many strong working relationships throughout all tiers of our organisation. Communications across this wide spectrum is a key strength Kate utilises to the maximum.

Her style of coaching, delivery of training and presentation of all associated materials, encapsulates the professionalism we desire. Furthermore her approach consistently and comprehensively aligns with our values, beliefs and behaviours which allow us, with peace of mind, to deal with the day to day management of our organisation.

I have known and worked with Kate for 7 years.

Kate has the ability to engage with the client and put them at ease. Her ability to explain and prepare inexperienced teams to develop an effective approach to dealing with communications issues surrounding change, is clear, concise and enables individuals to improve their delivery of key messages to their target audience.

In addition Kate provides a mechanism for feedback from these communication activities that can be measured. This enables a project or management to get a clear picture of the issues they are facing in terms of how their staff is feeling about what is happening to them. This is invaluable to any client when undertaking any form of change project.

In addition Kate can provide a broad range of support activities such as training or coaching teams or individuals who are about to embark on change activities.

Kate worked for AMT Sybex for a number of years and in that time undertook a wide variety of tasks for both our key customers and internally.

AMT Sybex is a successful IT and Management Consultancy company employing around 300 people. Like many companies in this field, our staff spend each day widely dispersed around the country working on various client projects. To further complicate this we have three major offices located in three separate countries.

Kate’s arrival at the company coincided with a realisation by senior management that, in order to retain our valued staff, we had to professionalise our whole approach to internal communication.

We quickly recognised that Kate’s ability to coach us to effectively communicate and indeed her ability to motivate us to keep doing it when it seemed hard were invaluable. If you add to this her ability as a trained, professional facilitator, I am convinced we would not have enjoyed the success we did without her input.

Many of our client organisations find the processes around change extremely challenging. They are predominantly heavy engineering based companies who are fantastic at problem solving and building solutions but find the effective communication needed to be extremely difficult. In her time with us Kate proved to be very well liked and highly regarded by our customer base.

Thank you very much for your input to our away day. It was a great and pertinent start to the day which set the context for the rest of the activities. I know that it's not just the day itself but that there is a lot of thought and preparation that goes into them.

It was a pleasure to work with you and I hope that we can meet up again soon. Please keep in touch with us.

The Communicating Change course was brilliant. I’m going to really benefit from the presentation part. Good to see the habits I have while delivering a presentation. Also good to learn that everyone learns and takes things in, in a different way.
