Kat offers a range of communication and vocal workshops such as learning how to use storytelling as a guide to presenting; to voice coaching for those who feel they want to improve diction, clarity and breath control. Her current client base ranges from doctors, lawyers, and Ted-Talk speakers – to actors, influencers and singers. Kat started off as an actor after graduating from drama school, and whilst working as a tour guide at the local heritage site, quickly realised that the skills she had learned at drama school could apply to people who wanted to deliver more engaging tours. This became the basis for what is now a successful speech and presentation coaching business.

She quickly built several long-standing relationships with clients, helping them to feel more confident about public speaking. This includes inspiring a team they are leading, or speaking at conferences. Her coaching method has one goal in mind: to help people find confidence in communication. Alongside her own clients, Kat is an associate trainer at the highly established company Speak2Impact.

Client feedback

Kat gets excellent feedback from workshop participants and clients alike, as the following few examples show:

• ‘Kat takes a mindful approach to her planning, regularly checking in with myself to makesure she was focusing on the needs of the group and the individual participants. She tailored her sessions to our participants in a very supportive manner, addressing areas of development/areas to explore with each member within the session before delving into constructive exercises. She made sure to circle back round on their goals outlined at the beginning and made sure everyone felt supported and listened to throughout, as well as highlighting the power and value of various presentation skills, giving real life examples, which found to be an incredibly poignant reminder.’

I feel confident in doing this due to the range of techniques and methodologies I have learnt. Furthermore, I enjoyed the large percentage of practical work we did (i.e., presenting to the group). This was more practical than other courses I have been on, which was great because it gave me confidence, because it entrenched my learning and because it afforded me Kat’s bespoke guidance based on what she saw me do. I leave the course feeling 100% more confident due to the practical experience I have gained and the methods I have learnt. Thank you Kat!’
