Catherine Llewellyn is a unique and different thinker.  Her ability to help people to connect with their inner selves and release untapped reserves of capability, talent and positive emotion is quite unparalleled.  She has a remarkable ability to understand the needs of those with whom she works, however disparate their personalities.

I worked with Catherine regularly for over 18 months on my personal and professional development and it was a great investment! Catherine takes a very individual approach – she doesn’t ‘sheep dip’ like some. She challenged me in different ways and helped me take a long hard look at myself and what I wanted from my work and personal life. Working with Catherine has helped me go outside my comfort zone and to take on new challenges with confidence. And, she’s a very warm person who you can trust completely. If you want an exciting and rewarding experience, I cannot recommend Catherine highly enough.

Catherine is highly perceptive and brings a remarkable level of clarity of thinking to all her interactions. If you’re happy to be challenged in a constructive but penetrating way, really to examine yourself with someone who will support your journey, then she may well be the one who helps you make the transformational shift you’re looking for.

The cultural and teamwork benefits we gained contributed to the upturn in business we have achieved during that time … I am particularly impressed by the extraordinary variety of methods and experiences you brought to us in the group workshops with the executive team, most of which were new to me, and which opened our eyes to some valuable lessons about ourselves and the way we run the company.

What a marvellous time I’ve had working with you, and I deeply appreciate the positive difference it has made to me as a person, to my effectiveness in my work, and to the contribution I feel able to make to my organisation.  Constructing the 18 month plan gave me such clarity – it really has put me back in control – very positively – of my own future.  I have been truly amazed at how powerful such a simple tool can be and I can’t thank you enough for helping me with this.

I would be delighted to recommend you to any Chief Executive or Managing Director seeking to strengthen teamwork and communication in the boardroom.  You have demonstrated to me a sensitivity and authority with senior executives that provides real value.  Thank you again for your assistance.

I have no hesitation in recommending you to any organisation that genuinely wants to bring about a real change, or to any senior executive who would like to invest in their personal development.  I can safely say that your work is first class and that they will not be disappointed.

Catherine is a true professional.  She has the ability to hold the client vision whilst at the same time will always achieve the result.  She has a high level of integrity whilst remaining relevant and purposeful.  I would have no hesitation in recommending her.

I have worked with Catherine in a variety of roles and benefited from her unique insight into how to manage the challenges of business.  I can honestly say that my relationship with work would be less rich in every way without her input.

Catherine creates an excellent climate for development.  A relationship that is built high on trust and integrity with innovative ideas and concepts.

Catherine is a highly effective facilitator and personal coach.  She is insightful and creative, deploying a wide variety of techniques to help teams and individuals to understand and improve their performance.

Her philosophical approach and her pragmatic style helped me to embrace change and become a powerful change leader.  She had the same impact and successful results with the rest of the Board.  I look forward to working with her again in another challenging environment.

Catherine is a very original thinker who is capable of adapting her style to the needs of the individual who she is working with.  She brings creativity to her work.  Catherine’s insight into helping my Board to develop themselves well beyond their own expectations has greatly assisted in achieving ambitious corporate results.  Her professionalism, integrity, sensitivity and commercial orientation produce truly beneficial results.

Catherine provided inspirational coaching on both a personal and team basis which supported a personal transformation and organisational change.

Catherine is always inspirational in getting to the heart of the matter and finding creative and fun ways of approaching the topics and issues you wish her to help with.  No hesitation in recommending her services.

I should like to put on record my deep appreciation of the work you have done for me … Your guidance and counsel together with the tools and techniques you have brought to my attention have broadened and deepened my capability to lead a Board to even greater success in the future.

Catherine has provided fantastic support and first-class mentoring in my personal development over the past 18 months, a joy to work with and an inspiration in my work and home life with her insights and guidance!

Catherine stayed very focussed on my particular objective.  She showed me how mind and body are not two discrete entities; how a disposition or lack of balance in one directly impacts the other.  She helped me by providing insight into mine and others’ behaviours, attitudes and mentalities.  I gained clarity over my own and others’ personal values, objectives, priorities.  To anyone considering mentoring, perhaps wondering whether it might be good value looking for tangible results, you should spend some time with Catherine.

Each session was open, perception changing, often hilarious and emotional, which for me represents atypical demeanour!

Through our work together, I obtained deep personal insight, enhanced my own personal effectiveness and that of my team, and I gained new perceptions, such as feeling the energy in the room and understanding the impact this has on people’s performance and behaviour. Catherine is highly accomplished in her craft, original and creative in her approach, and warm and fun to work with. Her techniques were practical, tailored and effective. I continue to benefit today, professionally and personally, from the learning and insights gained. I would recommend her to anyone.

In our highly targeted environment it’s all too easy to miss the challenges and opportunities available from working with and nurturing our people – through our work together I have learned how to incorporate emotional competence with hard-nosed business sense – now my team and their reports are feeling the benefits of this, the workplace is happier and better organised than it has been for years, and I’m sure this is one of the key contributors to our impressive achievements last year.

Catherine has worked with me on the development of my personal leadership skills and subsequently in the development of team effectiveness and interpersonal dynamics at [my company].  She is an exceptional person who delivers exceptional results.  She is creative, professional and extremely well organised with a clear and unstinting focus on results.  To call her a coach or mentor is too narrow a description of what she does and the tools she has at her disposal.  She genuinely does inspire positive change in individuals, teams and organisations.  I look forward to working with her in the future.

Catherine has a novel and incredibly effective approach to Executive Mentoring which produced some excellent results.

I knew I needed something different to help us not only achieve our hard targets but to do so sustainably and set up well for the following few years – the humanistic approach you taught us did the job perfectly, and we are better, and happier, leaders for it.

I have worked with Catherine for just over one year on an executive programme that was uniquely tailored to meet my needs of significantly improving my overall performance. The programme really encouraged me to go beyond my comfort zone, and I must say that Catherine is truly inspirational and an expert in her field of work. If you want to make a major step forward, and need support in doing so, I would strongly recommend Catherine.

I have recently started some personal mentoring work with Catherine, which I consider to be a very worthwhile investment. Catherine is an exceptional person and I would not hesitate in recommending her to anyone with a desire for self-learning and development. 

Catherine has worked with the Board over the last three years and, as both a beneficiary of the development programme and the sponsor of others, I can vouch for the value of the results.  I recommend Catherine unhesitatingly and without reservation.  If you want the best, look no further.

Catherine maintained clear focus on the overall goal through each individual objective and step within the programme. We also had a lot of fun, Catherine is a joy to work with! The positive impact of working with Catherine was significant and is on-going, both personally and professionally, and my relationships have benefited in ways I had not anticipated. 

Catherine created the perfect environment for the work, which included research, deep self-assessment and analysis; her approach was intelligent, challenging, constructive, honest, kind and non-judgemental. I gained invaluable personal insights and clarified what really matters to me. Catherine helped me to tap into my inner resourcefulness and to develop practical skills to deal with work situations while remaining authentic and true to my values.
