When she found herself at a crossroads in her career, Fiona engaged in one-to-one executive coaching with Kate to gain clarity on her next steps.
MY CHALLENGE
I was thriving at work and really enjoyed the creative and strategic aspects of my role. But I felt ready for my next work adventure – and that’s where my problem lay. Colleagues were telling me I should do different things, to specialise in different areas. I just didn’t know which way to turn. I was overwhelmed by the options and utterly confused about where I was heading.
“I understand my strengths and where I need to focus my energy”.
THE COACHING
Kate and I had an initial discussion about her approach and how coaching could help me. I agreed to attend six online coaching sessions, which would be tailored to my situation. During the first session, I remember Kate digging deep into my personality and asking me questions about myself
and how I see the world around me. I shared that I enjoyed practising mindfulness so Kate suggested incorporating mindfulness activities into our sessions. I loved this and it made me really look forward to them.
Kate introduced models and tools to help me identify my strengths and develop my personal brand. We also explored all the different career pathways that colleagues had suggested to help me understand where to focus my energy.
WHAT THE CLIENT SAYS…
I’d never considered using a coach before, but when I learned what Kate was offering, I knew I needed her guidance. I chose Kate because she understands my role, work culture and environment. I knew I could trust her and felt at ease with her from the off.
As a result of our sessions, I’ve decided to channel my energies in one clear direction. I am confident in my strengths and personal brand, and where I will invest my time and energy. But most of all, I’m in a much happier place where I’m comfortable and content not knowing what the future holds.
Kate is a very versatile, very personable and mindful coach with a broad skillset and a variety of tools and knowledge at her disposal. She has a natural ability to tune in to completely understand you and what makes you tick.
