Testimonials
Finance Manager
"When mind is racing or in the thick of reflecting on whats happening in my world. I found your posts help me reframe I.e. stress vs excitement. New things are difficult. And give a different perspective. It reminds me I have an active role on how I position the things happening around me or within me"

"I started the Mentoring Moments Program about a year ago. I was a bit reluctant to participate as I thought it might not really provide me with any value - as past experiences didn't quite add much value.
I was partnered up with Kath, and from that first day, I would not have thought it would change my world. The journey was both a personal and career-orientated one, that touched on quite a few areas. With Kath as my Coach, she provided a world of different insights and aspects that I never knew existed. Her patience and trust throughout the whole journey has led me to make changes that I would have never thought could be made or even would consider.
A year later, Kath as my Coach, enabled key areas of change in both my personal and career life to be the most powerful experience in my life and my Woolworths career. I will be forever grateful for Kath as my Mentor and Coach, as it isn't just for a moment, but a lifetime.”

“When I arrived at the first coaching session, I really had no idea what to expect, or what I was going to get out of the session. I knew that I wasn't happy with my current role, whilst my career was going well, it wasn't where my heart was and without sounding overdramatic I was feeling very lost and really needing direction on what to do next.
The coaching helped me to create clear goals, break actions down into small chunks and only doing a few actions every two weeks was amazing, it was achievable, whilst not always comfortable for me it felt like small steps I could take. Sticking to the actions each week, I couldn't believe how much I learnt and progressed by each coaching session
The confidence I now have in my own abilities in both work and my studies, I can't believe I didn't start this earlier. I will always be indebted to Kath for believing in me and showing me how to focus, turn my passions into my reality and effectively change my life.
I highly recommend your coaching skills for anyone wanting to make big or small life changes.”

"Just wanted to send a personal message to let you know that I found our coaching sessions excellent, there were many points that resonated with me but, ultimately, it made me realize I need to get off my mental fence, back myself and just make a decision towards where my energy flows."
