What Participants Are Saying

  • Kate’s approach to coaching our organisation on Leadership for Gender Equality was unexpected, yet had excellent outcomes. Rather than focusing on feminist theory, gender equality frameworks, or technical knowledge/skills on how to include Gender Equality in programming, policy or advocacy efforts, Kate worked with our group to help us examine and reflect on our individual and collective biases, traumas/fears and internalised beliefs that can hold us back from ‘leading with purpose’ on Gender Equality. Kate’s leadership training focused on Power and practical strategies/techniques to empower ourselves as transformative leaders, and to empower others to identify their own solutions to a range of Gender Equality challenges. Kate’s training on a ‘7 Question Coaching Framework’ was very useful. As we practiced coaching and being coached, we quickly recognised our own potential to coach others – with neutrality, openness and curiosity – to help promote Gender Equality in multiple ways. Kate’s thoughtful, considered coaching style provided a safe space to share experiences, ideas and learnings throughout the course.

  • This is the first time I have completed focussed work on leadership in gender equality and it was very worthwhile. The topics we discussed, from individual coaching to compounding trauma really enlightened me about the complexities of leadership in GE and how we can maximise our impact. I especially enjoyed the sessions about trauma and how best to look after ourselves in order to be best placed to lead on such an important topic. Kate comes with a wealth of experience and is a very thoughtful facilitator. She challenges participants to develop and stretch themselves, but also ensures that the environment is a safe space.

  • I have grown more aware of my agency in my voice as a young Solomon Island woman and its effectiveness when I understand what I can control and what I can't. As a result of this training I am more vocal in the workspace and with my team by not doubting my decisions so much or waiting for approval or validation that I do not require. I have greater confidence and its showing in my conduct and my output at work. It was refreshing to have a trainer who could help me navigate my experience as an indigenous woman in the workplace. The tools and knowledge I have gained have really helped me.
