Cat is a fantastic coach and I feel very privileged to have spent such quality time with her. She is clearly very knowledgeable in the subject area and can always back up her advice with theory. I always felt extremely positive and motivated after every session.
It is a shame that our time together was short, however, I feel that Cat is such a good coach, that she did herself out of a job.

I recently made a courageous decision to follow my dreams and return to education. This amazing coach was integral to me summoning the courage to make this gargantuan step. I cannot recommend her coaching highly enough.
Primary Principal Bristol
This course of coaching has been transformative. With Catriona's expert guidance, I benefited greatly from the opportunity to consider my professional experiences as a leader. The process has encouraged me to recognise strengths that I was unable to give weight to in the past, as I was pursuing a persona that was unnatural to me and therefore not attainable in any way that would have been fulfilling or effective. By going through several stages of reflection, I am now able to place my ethos and attributes to the forefront when making professional judgements. This has been of immediate value to my team at work (a more confident colleague - I've stopped second guessing others), and also has led to my feeling much more content with my life in a more holistic sense.
Catriona looks at the whole person in front of her and adapts her style to suit them. In a very short space of time I am better equipped to develop as a school leader, as well as enjoy home life and recognise all that I have achieved. Superb experience. Highly recommended.
Vice Principal Bristol
My coaching sessions with Cat have been immeasurably helpful at this point in my career. It has helped me be more confident and assertive in my role, which not only makes me better at my job, but also means I am carrying less anxiety into my personal life. She helped me work to identify the roots of certain behaviours or thoughts, challenge my patterns, and create a more proactive way of dealing with certain situations. She also supplied me with a wealth of information and other places to listen and learn, backing up all of the knowledge she was imparting with references, and further reading.

I can't say I'm not sad that my sessions with you are over! They have been so incredibly useful both professionally and probably even more so personally. Thank you for being so amazing
