(Katherine’s)
encouragement and direction have helped me … focus my
efforts in a way that will help me succeed.” “Katherine is an exceptional listener and has a great
deal of insight, focus and empathy…The program is a highly
useful life tool. It is particularly valuable for the busiest
executives, especially those, ironically, who find it most difficult
to carve out time for the three-hour sessions.” “Katherine has a nice easy listening style and has had
enough experience in the commercial world to build good discussions
around issues. I found the overall experience very useful….my
thinking on some issues went for 30% clarity to over 80% clarity
as a result of our encounters.” “I have strong personality so Katherine worked out
well for me. She was firm and unobtrusive. Frank and helpful.
That style works well for me….I subscribe that learning
and change behaviour in adults can be achieved through coaching.
I can see the value of a coaching culture for myself and throughout
the corporation.” |
