Kate’s scenic route to authentic success…
Kate first qualified as a Chartered Engineer, and later worked in government relations and public affairs.
In 1999, she shifted her passion for personal development from the side-lines to the centre of her work, launching her development consultancy Cruise Control for Life Ltd. She created and led ‘power skills’ workshops on personal effectiveness, impact and influence, creative problem-solving and powerful presenting, shifting over time into the design and delivery of in-depth management and leadership development programmes.
Later, as a coach, she became fascinated by the ways we unconsciously limit our own success and happiness. She discovered many little-known secrets of how to release this resistance – so progress can be both swift and enjoyable – qualifying along the way as a Master Hypnotherapist.
