“I came into coaching without any semblance of a business plan, just vague ideas of what I’m passionate about and what I’m good at and a feeling of overwhelm of everything it would take to create a successful business. Throughout our sessions, Kat was able to ask incredibly insightful questions that made the process of thinking through the necessary steps manageable and even exciting.

Due to her extensive knowledge and experience in social entrepreneurship, she also offered creative solutions and ideas that were both pragmatic in terms of what the market needed and what would be financially sustainable and got to the core of what would make running a social business fulfilling for me specifically. Having worked with other mentors and coaches before, Kat stands out as a visionary and perceptive leader who deeply understands what you’re uniquely capable of and pushes you to fulfill your potential while also making the process of getting there feasible based on where you are in your life right now. After every session with her, I was invigorated by what was possible and knew exactly what I needed to do ahead of our next session and beyond to realize my goals.

I give my highest recommendation to working with Kat if you’re at all curious about how your life could be radically transformed through running a business leveraging your specific talents and passions that also makes the world a better place.”

“I have more retainer clients after working with Kat, which is a more sustainable way of making income throughout the year. It also means I and they get to see the impact of us working together.

I have a better sales process and much stronger sales copy. I worked out I had 2 clear audiences and created dedicated pages for each of these. This has made the sales process a lot easier for me.

I launched my inclusive communication toolkit. It has now been downloaded 400+ times and as well as increasing my impact, it has increased my mailing list by 200+ people and has started lots of great conversations with my target client. Really excited to see the long term impact of this.

I think sometimes impact work can be undervalued or we can feel pressured to undercut ourselves as we care so much. I chose to work with Kat because I was looking for someone who understood both impact and profit and how the two should be in lockstep as a social enterprise.

Having someone to talk to who got it. I didn’t need to explain the value I offered to Kat, that was just a given, instead we focused on ways to create sustainable and ethical revenue streams at a fair price for me and my clients.

Systems and structures definitely help, but they also take time to establish and set up. It was good to have a coach over a longer period of time, so I could begin to see the impact of the work I was doing with Kat but also create it at a pace that made sense for me.

Kat is pragmatic and kind. I don’t want someone to be nice to me, I want someone to help me work out where I need to improve and offer genuine guidance about how. Sometimes Kat was a coach, sometimes she would share what had worked for her personally. I found both useful.”

“I was looking for a business coach who would be able to help me grow my business at a pivotal time (I needed to get ready to go full-time with my business), in line with my personal vision and purpose for social impact.

Kat helped me in three main areas: Pricing, strategy, and authentic content creation. She helped me confidently raise my prices and more than triple my revenue from my private language coaching programmes. She coached me to help clarify my social impact, purpose, vision and direction, strengthening my own voice and helping me decide how and when to bring that messaging to my audiences. Getting clarity on these things has given me the focus and energy to be much more ambitious and reach new business milestones at a surprising speed.

From working with Kat I’ve learnt how to bring out the unique aspects of my personal and professional perspective, vision and passion. Through our coaching conversations and my own recent client conversations, I’m also learning just how important it is to set the prices that will work for me rather than what I think people may be willing to pay - and I now feel great about my pricing.

I’ve really appreciated Kat’s tailored and personal approach, recognising and celebrating small and big wins with me, always checking in about what I need from her as a coach along the way, and her willingness and patience in gaining depth and clarity before offering up resources, support, or guidance based on her own experience. She’s good at asking deep coaching questions to bring out clarity and feedback and identify next steps.

I would strongly recommend Kat’s services to business owners with a social purpose. Kat has excellent sales and business savvy, is knowledgeable and passionate about supporting social impact businesses, and a wonderful personality, too.”

“Kat’s been my coach and I have to say she has been absolutely brilliant! She listens, asks the right questions, challenges me, and most of all brings real clarity and a renewed sense of purpose and direction. I always feel invigorated after our sessions and always look forward to the next one. I’m more effective as a result of our sessions and I would recommend Kat to anyone looking to improve themselves, their business and their impact.”

“I love working with Kat, she challenges me to see outside my box and has helped me get clear on important decisions that were holding me back in my business, I’ve managed to simplify processes and make more courageous decisions through her guidance and coaching through some unhelpful thinking that was keeping me playing small, I really value the support and find that having a “thinking partner” is an integral part of what’s needed to cut out the noise and keep moving forward as a small business owner. She is also just a very lovely human!”

“Kat is great at encouraging you to make sure your business works for you, in myriad ways: your role/responsibilities, your time, money. As a social entrepreneur, it’s easy to get caught up in your passion and let these things slide; doing everything, working all the hours, accepting minimal pay. But Kat has (quietly) kept reminding me that if I’m not happy, I can’t bring my best self to my business - and that affects the impact I can have through my business and, ultimately, its longevity. I’ve found that support and challenge really valuable - and I aspire to be more like Kat. She’s an inspiration for all social entrepreneurs. Work with her - you’ll be glad you did.”

“Before I started working with Kat, I had a dream idea with very few details. I was struggling to get a plan together and I didn’t even know what I wanted my business to look like. But [with 12 weeks with Kat], she guided me to build my dream business. She coached me every step of the way. Kat gave me ideas and helped me to see what was possible, but she really coached me to help me find the answers for myself so that I could see my vision come to life.

While working with Kat, I learned that I could build a business the way I want. Kat taught me about my worth and the value I bring to my clients, and that it is possible to build a business that is sustainable, all while giving back. Kat taught me about targeting my mindset and taking actionable steps, even when it feels scary. I’ve learned that I am an amazing asset to the families, my time and my knowledge are valuable, and I should charge accordingly. Kat showed me that I bring so much value to the families I work with and that I can use my skills to create good in the world.”
