Hello, I’m Kate Jennings

As an internationally accredited leadership coach, I bring a wealth of experience in understanding individuals; what holds us back and how we can achieve lasting change in performance and behaviours. I’ve worked as a leadership coach across a variety of sectors and offer executive coaching at all levels, from C-suite executives to newly promoted managers. My focus is to enable leaders at all levels to excel.

Clients describe me as a supportive executive coach - I’m challenging, intuitive, impactful and authentic. Someone who helps them feel ‘unstuck’ and find effective ways to move forward. I partner closely with clients, working towards clear, agreed goals focused on delivering the change and results you’re looking for.

I’ve helped clients hit the ground running in new leadership roles, increase their team’s performance, overcome imposter syndrome, improve culture and build stronger emotional intelligence and relationships.

I've seen my fair share of life's ups and downs, at work, home and with health. I’ve seen what happens when life takes a blow and how we can pick ourselves up, benefitting from the skills and expertise of the right coach. I’ve also learnt that building on our strengths is much more important than just focusing on our weaknesses to achieve high-performance.
