What others say…

  • "The Good Start course was the first time I was able to see myself as an agent of change.

    Catherine created a thought- provoking, practical and energising course. Catherine's vast experience, deep knowledge and infections passion around doing business for good made her the perfect facilitator for this course. The impact of conversations with her, on me personally, has been influential, deep and long lasting. I know that any offering she has in this field will be top class.”

  • “Catherine’s brief was to be the project manager for a significant organisational change.

    This involved overhauling our governance, management, finance, operational and service delivery structures and bringing back into the church a large, local charity. Catherine ensured the successful delivery of the project, including managing the transfer of staff and TUPE for some staff members.

    Catherine managed to successfully deliver this project despite a number of unexpected challenges and in the face of some sustained opposition. She worked diligently and persistently, yet with kindness and humour. Managing the many different relationships involved was a sizable project in its own right, but Catherine was able to build strong connections with staff and allay many of their concerns.”

  • “Catherine is like a swiss army knife, in any situation she adapts and has all of the tools you need.

    She has created so many incredible social enterprise projects in organisations that are so traditional I was surprised she could make innovation work. She has advised me on many aspects of my work from sponsorship programmes and packages, to organisational structure, and we have even collaborated on events as she has hosted a Charity Meetup special interest group.

    I trust Catherine implicitly, she is such a joy to work with, she has such an agile mind, fabulous problems solver and also really fun and creative too! If you get the chance to work with Catherine, you are lucky indeed, what an amazing changemaker!”

  • “I’ve just been reviewing our performance this year and that included reviewing your report.

    I’m pleased to say all is going well with the work, but even better than that, following your report, I was able to make a business case for an extra communications person, which I’ve recently learned has been accepted by our senior team and we’ll start recruitment in the new year. Thanks so much for helping me to get that across the line – I’m hoping it’s going to make a massive difference!”
