“This offsite was a really great opportunity to focus on achieving top performance as a team. We came away with a manageable set of actions and personal commitments that I feel motivated to follow through on and ensure are delivered.”

“The exercise on how different people think really opened my eyes about some challenging work relationships. The course was informative, helpful and relevant. It raises awareness of different personality styles and increased my own self-awareness.”

“I valued Katinka’s input tremendously. She has a canny knack of translating behaviour into productivity, which I found very powerful. Fundamentally, Katinka cared about the objectives and the process, and when someone is working with you who cares as much as she does, it has a significantly positive impact on the programme. She successfully raised self-awareness levels among partners and associates without any trace of judgement. I highly recommend her”

“I was very impressed with the way Katinka translated her organizational effectiveness experience into commercial, relevant and practical solutions for us. She showed great judgment when interacting across all levels of the firm and was able to build solid relationships over a relatively short time frame. I very much look forward to working with Katinka again”

“I have experienced a range of executive coaches and Katinka brings a unique approach and perspective to the discipline. More than just demonstrating her empathy and commercial experience, we were able to properly assess what mattered to me, how to respond to the choices presented and how to create outcomes with greater certainty which benefitted both my organisation and me. The experience was enlightening and I have carried both the learning’s and some of the techniques forward with me”

“Thank you for the workshop. I thought it was terrific in terms of content, interest, relevance and presentation – well done!”

“This was better than similar seminars. Katinka understood our business and the relationship with our clients well. I found the group discussions valuable, which Katinka led as an excellent moderator”

“I enjoyed working with Katinka on several people development initiatives. We worked together on a Talent Survey for the group at the time and setting up Employee and Manager forums to give staff the opportunity to voice their opinions on what could be done to improve people development. These sessions were lively and engaging and produced a great deal of useful information that was then used by management to develop our people development strategy.”

“What impressed me the most was that Katinka had really done her homework on our industry – who we are, who are competition is, and who are clients are. So her advice and helpful suggestions were actually very relevant – and had the extra bonus of sometimes being just “different” enough to get us conservative lawyers to consider another perspective, to debate and to analyse ideas that have worked well in other analogous industries. Katinka is also very good at taking what people say and re-positioning it it such a way that it drive the discussion and debate forward. I think all of us came away re-charged and inspired.”

“We have engaged Katinka for various training and coaching sessions, including management training for our new partners and personal coaching of our more senior partners. Having worked with Katinka for almost a year now, we are extremely pleased with her work for us. Instead of trying to apply general management theories to our business, Katinka has made a great effort to learn and understand the specific culture and values of our firm and used this knowledge for tailor made individual coaching sessions with our partners. This has added great value to us and after only a few sessions, not only have our partners increased their leadership skills but also become interested in personal development of themselves as leaders as well as increased their motivation to in turn develop our associates into future leaders. In short, Katinka offers an unrivalled leadership development.”
