I am a new leader and Kathie has been coaching and mentoring me in the leadership /management space. I am at the beginning of my journey and I still have a way to go.
Kathie asks me questions that I have never thought about and the greatest learning for me has been about myself. I didn't comprehend the importance of understanding myself in the leadership process. Kathie and I often talk about the importance of people in leadership and what I now realize is that this relates to not only the people I am leading but to myself. This has been the biggest learning for me so far - a journey into understanding myself and how this impacts on the way I lead others.
I am now better placed to deal with day to day situations that arise and also to think more strategically. Kathie provides me with the space to really dig deep into my thinking and gather my thoughts in a trusted environment. There are also exercises to do before our next session, which are relevant and thought provoking and enhance the work we have completed in our coaching sessions.
She is great sounding board and her knowledge in the leadership area is excellent. I really look forward to continue to work with her.

“I started with Kathie Hill in May, on a friend’s recommendation. At that point I was utterly burned out from a stressful full time job for an organisation that I have been employed by for 24 years, with the past 8 in my current role. That, coupled with three teenage children, a husband who was largely absent due to his business, and a busy lifestyle block with competition horses, left me with very little energy, motivation, and ability to continue. I also lacked the head space to do anything about it.
My time with Kathie to date has already been an incredible journey of self discovery.
Kathie has helped uncover my core values. My life goals. The kind of person that I want to be, and the method I want to use to get myself there. She has helped me realise that my skill set, and my abilities, are far greater than I had imagined. She has asked the right questions, and has led me into a discovery of who I actually am, and what motivates me.
I am now travelling down an exciting, challenging path which will see me in a new career, new energy, new motivation. I can’t wait to see what this new “world” looks like. What I do know though, is it will give me opportunity, empowerment, and most importantly, mental, and actual time to do the things I love and be with the people I love.”

“I've worked with Kathie over the last 12 months and on a range of different areas in my life from my career right through to aspects of my personal life. I've always been a bit of a butterfly, happily changing paths but I never really had a sense of my purpose...then I met Kathie.
She helped me to discover who I am (disregard those pressures from society), find my true purpose (and what that actually means!) and build my confidence to know that who I am is enough. Which has changed my whole outlook on life.
I've become a Senior Manager after being promoted with a large pay rise but even better I fell back in love my career and work. When I worked too hard on my career, with Kathie's guidance and help...we added back in some fun and she helped remind me of the things I once enjoyed. Creating balance and mental space to enjoy all areas of my life.
Kathie's wealth of experience in HR, has opened many doors for me both personally and professionally. She is a key part in my career growth and helped me to step up into a more senior role with confidence plus guide me as a new leader.
Kathie's coaching is genuine and caring, she has a kind heart that has helped and coached me through many situations that I would have struggled to manage by myself.
I highly recommend Kathie, she has created coaching plans individual to me, my situation and my learning style. This has all brought me many lessons and a sense of knowing who I am.
If you are thinking about connecting with Kathie, take that jump...it's led me places I didn't even dream of and I am so very grateful for Kathie's coaching. The investment in myself by getting coaching has paid off over and over again. ”

I have been working with Kathie for the last couple of years and consider her to be a good friend, great coach and excellent mentor. When I first started my new role Kathie was excellent at helping me set goals and work out how to be the best I could be. She was so very easy to talk to, challenging me to rethink new ways of work and really making me think about out-of-the-box answers.
Without her support and motivation I really don't think I would have achieved all I did in this time. Since then Kathie has continued to challenge me in so many ways, motivating me to always strive towards my goals no matter what life may throw at us. I have always found Kathie's calm, friendly manner very easy to work with and open up to - the end of each chat revealed many lightbulb moments! She has truly inspired me to continue to challenge myself in what I want to achieve, to always think hard and stay true to my values. I will always be thankful...and always have her on speed dial!
