Kate Waterfall Hill - Leadership Coach - Guildford

Laura Moroney

I started Kate's group leadership course in October, and have loved every moment. The resources and videos that Kate has put together are immersive, interesting and thought-provoking. I'm a very practical person and can sometimes struggle with things like self-reflection, but the content of the course and group coaching calls are extremely accessible and well explained. Kate is an expert in her field and has a way about her that ensures you feel comfortable but also challenged. She will push you to question processes that are well ingrained and help you to discover new approaches to solve both live and past issues. The group coaching calls really help to consolidate all of the learning, where there is opportunity to practise and engage with the tools with Kate's support. You are encouraged to bring a live leadership challenge to calls, which means throughout the time I was doing the course, I felt like I had the benefit of a 1:1 leadership coach who could help support me along the way. This was critical for me, as during the course, I received a promotion which meant for the first time I was line managing a team who had line management responsibilities - which I had never done before! So having the opportunity to grow with the support of Kate has been brilliant. I've received positive feedback from my team about my leadership approach since starting the course, and will be recommending this course to many!

I first came across Kate on Facebook through her "Linda, the bad manager" TikTok videos. To me, the fact that she could demonstrate so hilariously how someone should not behave as a manager meant she probably had a clear idea of how leaders should behave instead. And I was not disappointed.

I enrolled on the 12-week Leadership Accelerator course in November '23, which includes video tutorials, workbooks and weekly 90-minute group sessions, which went by in a flash, as they were packed full of useful information. They struck a great balance between theory and practice, thanks to role-playing and addressing participants' particular leadership challenges. The sessions felt very inclusive, with men and women of different ages, working in a wide range of sectors, attending the video calls from across the globe.

The course covers a range of topics such as the importance of building relationships, coaching through a combination of asking questions and active listening, delegating, defining values and setting clear boundaries. Kate also gave some great book recommendations along the way for those wishing to deepen their leadership knowledge beyond the training content.

Kate gives you lots of practical tips that you can implement in your everyday working life and helps you gain a clearer understanding of where your priorities should lie as a leader. I would highly recommend the course to anyone looking to improve their personal leadership skills.

The coaching sessions I had with Kate had a transformative effect, not only on my deliverables but also on my career. As well as creating a comfortable space to be heard, Kate helped me build my confidence, and gave me the tools to approach challenging situations with a new perspective. Each session was built with a specific objective in mind - which was not only met but exceeded as I always received a mine of information and extra resources on the subject I wanted to discuss! It feels so refreshing to have a new way of doing thing. Thank you Kate!

Although as yet I have not engaged with Kate's 1:1 coaching service, I have found her online content extremely useful in my working life. I would recommend signing up to Kate's mailing list and exploring her social media for practical advice and support!

Kate provided the best experience I've had thus far with coaching. She was always very focused on the outcomes I wanted for me and not a minute of any session felt wasted. In addition to making my primary aims the primary aims of the session, she noted and provided resources in other areas of improvement she had independently spotted. After 3 sessions I feel that I'm in a vastly more empowered place than when we started, having achieved some of my desired outcomes and being in the process of achieving others.

I highly recommend the leadership course with Kate. It changed how I work with others, not just the people I manage but my peers and my own leaders. Eternally grateful that I discovered Kate and will be back for more learnings in the future!

Kate has been a fantastic coach. So approachable and easy to talk to, each session meant I came away with a focused approach and set actions.
