Customer Testimonials

Kyle Whitehill - Vodafone
COO Vodafone Essar
Working with Kate Warren has been the single best use of coaching time that I have encountered.  In my extensive experience of receiving senior executive coaching, I have found that it comes in two types:  developing strategies for achieving professional results or enhancing personal motivation.  Coaching time with Kate is entirely different.  Kate encouraged and challenged me to fundamentally explore my personal working style - who I am and what I do.  We have worked together to understand how I can optimise my potential for maximum results.  Grounded in reality, Kate has provided the practical support required for me to achieve this.  Kate is smart, lively, and engaging.  I highly recommend that you experience her coaching.

Executive Director, JPMorganChase
I can highly recommend Kate Warren– after working with her for a short time the difference I have been able to effect in my career and personal life is amazing.  Kate creates a safe and exciting atmosphere in which to learn while we explore solutions to the real challenges I face in the workplace.  Kate customises the delivery, pace and content of our sessions to suit my specific needs and concerns for development, defining approaches to implement and help with these scenarios.  Since working with Kate, I've noticed a step change in my own focus and motivation, and others have commented on my changed behaviours and performance.  This has enabled me to be considered for new roles and opportunities, which I believe is a direct result of my time spent with Kate.

I was initially drawn to Kate as a coach because of her energetic and direct style. I was looking for a coach who would challenge me and work with me through a career transition. I was not disappointed - I absolutely love the energy and curiosity that Kate brings to each coaching session, but there is something more that is deeper and more valuable that emerged over the course of our coaching relationship. Kate operates from place of integrity and living her core values and beliefs and in doing so, while sharing some of her own strategies, she was able to help me shift my understanding and perspective as I transition to a new career that is much more closely aligned with my own values. The insights I gained and the strategies that I evolved as a result of working with Kate have meant that I am able to be both happier and more effective in my new role. The work with Kate has been energising and calming, subtle and dramatic, fun and affirming – and is absolutely recommended.

It’s like “time out” meeting and phoning you. I love the upbeat tempo, your focus, and the pace is great.  I find our sessions refreshing and there is always something I take away from our conversations and give a try. Thanks for your help and support.

Andrew McCauley

Kate is an exceptional coach, who works with senior clients to develop their skills. I worked with Kate to help me transition a new management team through a change in strategy and to help me better understand and make career choices. She is a pleasure to work with and is highly recommended.

Kate's turned launching a business into a fun, natural process. She's opened up my awareness of where I can find clients, and I have four client bookings as a result, all obtained via informal, social conversations.

Kate Banbrook
Director, InnerTuition Coaching and Consulting
I attended Kate’s Getting Your Coaching Business Started talk in June.  It was excellent it got me thinking but more importantly doing.  I have now made huge strides into changing the focus of my business. Kate is approachable, motivational and her advice is achievable.

Kate, I was wowed by the session I attended.  I have NEVER been so engaged.  You have a special gift to include your audience in your experience and make it so fun and relevant to everyone there.
