“As a group of dance education sector leaders, we had been meeting for some time to consider how to improve racial equity within our organisations. Katy helped us take this work forward by designing a bespoke EDI leadership programme to suit our particular needs and context. We each came to the programme at very different starting points, but Katy skilfully led us towards a common understanding of racism and what we can do individually and collectively to make positive change. We left feeling empowered, more knowledgeable and with a strengthen commitment to continue this journey together.”
““Katy ran a session for our Women’s ERG which was engaging, relevant and interactive for a team spanned across multiple continents and timezones! In a one hour session we covered rich content with power practices to apply to our day to day to help us thrive. Katy left us inspired and energised for more, thank you!””
“We wanted to explore ways of finding joy at work and how to build a culture of belonging. Katy delivered a high energy and interactive session that was just what we needed. She worked with us to tailor a presentation that made people think and ask hard questions of themselves and the role they can play unlocking joy and belonging for themselves and their team members. Thank you Katy!”
“Katy has been a great support to our Global Inclusion Council in the way that she has reviewed our various DEI strategies and through her collaborative style, challenged us to consider fresh ideas which will enable the business to move to the next level of DEI maturity and ultimately deliver better all round business results. Thank for all your support Katy.”
“Katy was a fantastic guest speaker and facilitator.
She brought our virtual room to life, with more participation from colleagues that we’ve ever seen. The engagement, enjoyment and reflection was palpable, and people continue to talk about the session and reflect on the learning weeks on.
A real catalyst for change.”
“MINDBLOWN! Katy created a space where everyone had permission to share their challenges (in business and in life) and express their feelings. There’s no other way to describe the morning than to use the word INSPIRATIONAL. It’s one thing to follow someone online and to watch their videos, but its a whole other experience to be with them in the room .... the room was full of energy, trust, focus and true connection. A huge thank you to Katy for being utterly inspirational and for creating that space. ”
““Katy was part of an expert panel for a recent DEI Webinar we ran, which discussed the challenges of implementing a DEI strategy for an international workforce.
Katy’s insights and advice demonstrated her in-depth knowledge of not only the subject matter but also of how to best apply it and influence change within a large complex organisation.
Katy was also extremely helpful in helping us develop the structure and content of the Webinar.
I highly recommend Katy as an expert in this field and someone who makes collaborating very easy to do.””
“We knew bringing Katy on board was the best decision we had taken in the lead-up to our conference. Her positive and realistic attitude and her obvious familiarity with a multi-stakeholder event of this kind was not only comforting but also empowering. She made us consider the ultimate purpose of what we were doing, pushed us to aim higher and brought us back to earth when ambition got the better of us.”
