How can I be & sound more confident when delivering difficult news
This month's question comes from Zahra: Hi Kate, I don’t like confrontation and I often struggle when I have to assert a boundary, let someone down or share something that I worry might seem rude. I know I need to work on my confidence and assertiveness, but do you...
Ask yourself this simple question when things seem stressful
This week’s blog post is inspired by a conversation I was having in a coaching session earlier this week. My client, Katherine, has a lot on with a new team member starting the first day she returns to work after her holiday and she was feeling quite stressed...
How to set yourself free from guilt
It’s so easy to be our own worst critic. We all do things we might feel bad about – bailing on a friend, snapping at your partner, letting your children have too many sweets. In the work that I do with clients, self-compassion is one of the keys to growth. We...

How can I stop overthinking & assuming the worst?
This month’s question comes from Richard: Hi Kate, How can I stop overthinking and the tendency to assume the worst or focus on the negative? I realise this causes me additional stress, but I find it hard to stop. My Answer: I’m going to start...
Rest more to achieve more
There’s a theme that’s been coming up a lot for me and with clients these past couple of weeks: REST I’ve personally had a very intense past few months and so now I’m intentionally prioritising my rest. In fact, at the moment, I’m prioritising my rest over exercise....

Happy New Year! I hope you had a lovely holiday season and that, however big or small, you found a positive way to celebrate the start of 2021. I said I’d share a different perspective on new year’s resolutions with you today… Typically, new year’s resolutions are...
One little word that changes everything
As the year comes to a close, I’m sensing that many people are just about crawling over the finish line of 2020! After a year of such uncertainty and upheaval, I think you can probably agree, that this holiday season requires a well-deserved and much needed break …...
