For 35 years, Tom has worked cross-culturally (in France and the UK), training and coaching leaders. He specializes in leadership development, communication, and cross-cultural adaptation and transition. He has worked principally with non-profit and NGOs, until 2020 when he launched his sole proprietorship, Coaching Cultures LLC. He is currently developing a coach training school for the French-speaking world, working alongside three coaches from other organizations. He coaches in both French and English. He is an Accredited Practitioner with The Culture Factor Group (formerly, Hofstede Insights) in Intercultural Management and Organizational Culture, as well as a certified coder with Airtime BA, providing performance coaching for managers and executives. Recent clients include JPMC and Guy Carpenter.
In 2020, I discovered what I was meant to do when I enrolled in my first Coach training program. Prior to this, I held a variety of positions in the sustainability sector, from project executive for a CSR initiative in an MNC, strategic consultant to NGOs to General manager in a social enterprise. Nonetheless, I could never find deep satisfaction for the impact I was making. Since there were so many parties involved in these jobs that were outside my control, I found myself burnt out and frustrated. I have always wanted something more impactful that can address the root causes of the issues humanity is facing and I can be solely responsible for generating this impact with who I am and what I have. Coaching enables me to turn my natural tendency into a skill set and process that creates a profound impact on a person’s life. After just one session, they undoubtedly feel more in control, but the partnership process is necessary to help them maximize their potential and become their best selves. The key factor that facilitates my transformation, surprisingly, is self-love. I wouldn't be able to overcome my own self-doubt, uncertainty, and outside criticism to make the tough decisions that ultimately lead me down a path that is genuinely soul-fulfilling if I didn't love myself. What stops us from embracing our dreams is rarely external circumstances, but the limiting beliefs we carry inside. Self-love is a verb, a choice, and a skill that can be mastered over time. At the end of 2020, I founded my own Coaching business, with a desire to spread positive change. If I can transform myself through self-love, I can replicate this process for my clients with Coaching. I’m proud to have helped hundreds of clients break free from social norms to practice self-love, commit to their own journey, shine as they are, and make an impact in their community.
I'm an experienced, EMCC accredited career development and leadership coach with over 25 years’ experience in commercial leadership roles. Having worked at a senior level in media sales as Commercial Director at the UK’s largest publishing company, Bauer Media, I totally get the pressures and complexities of leading in fast-paced, target-driven environments. Since transitioning into coaching from 2018, I have worked with many individuals and teams across multiple sectors, supporting them through organisational change, leadership challenges, career transitions and personal concerns. I bring warmth, humour, clarity and commercial insight to my coaching, and have particular interests in confidence-building, leadership identity and also financial wellbeing. I always take a whole-person approach that recognises the deep connection between personal wellbeing and career growth. With extensive experience in supporting a diverse range of emerging and senior leaders, including those with disabilities and neuro-diversities, I always like to create a space where every client can bring their whole selves. This includes the parts that might not always feel seen or understood in traditional workplace settings. Sessions will often take unexpected turns but always lead somewhere meaningful - whether that’s a lightbulb moment of clarity, a shift in perspective, or a clear and realistic plan of action. Every session is designed to feel like progress, and clients leave with greater confidence, renewed focus, and tools they can use straight away. One of my clients said 'Katie possesses a rare combination of warmth, understanding and compassion that makes her an extraordinary coach’ and that her ‘experience as a commercial leader gives her a deep understanding of business challenges which she combines with insightful coaching skills’.
I am Katia, a dedicated mother of two teenagers with 25 years of corporate management experience in marketing and sales.

-Passionate about helping leaders move from languishing to flourishing- With over 18 years of leadership and coaching experience across six continents, I have worked within a variety of global, national, and local organisations to help clients become the best versions of themselves—both professionally and personally. This includes Employment (Career) Services, Human Resources/Learning, and Development, Community Services, Finance, Government, Retail/Hospitality, Education and Tech. Within these industries, I have helped both experienced and emerging leaders as well as individual contributors with leadership development, career planning, confidence, communication, conflict resolution, executive function, change/uncertainty, wellbeing, and parenting. Whilst able to work across all areas of leadership development, some of the most common areas of positive gain that people walk away with from coaching with myself include: -Increased connection with self and others. Through coaching, leaders can gain a deeper understanding of their own strengths, weaknesses and needs, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of their team members. This can lead to improved communication and collaboration, and a stronger sense of connection within the team. -Improved communication skills. Effective communication is essential for any leader. Coaching has helped leaders develop their communication skills, so they can more effectively convey their ideas, build relationships, and resolve conflict. -Increased confidence. Almost all leaders have stated they have seen this as an outcome post coaching together! Coaching can help leaders develop a stronger sense of confidence in their abilities. This can lead to more assertive decision-making, greater risk-taking, and a more positive outlook on challenges. -Enhanced career/life development. Coaching can help leaders identify their career/life goals and develop a plan to achieve them. This can lead to promotions, increased responsibility, and greater job/life satisfaction. Many leaders have worked on this during our sessions and are now pursuing the career /life plans they were seeking. Passionate about DEIB, I am also a qualified ADHD coach and work with leaders to cultivate awareness of executive function and development of pragmatic skills to manage and thrive with their ADHD. This may be for the individual leader with ADHD or for any leader committed to cultivating and supporting staff with ADHD and a diverse workplace. The boring stuff... ICF-certified, I hold a Post Graduate Certificate in Coaching and Leadership, a Bachelor of Social Science (Welfare/Youth work), and multiple Diplomas in Human Resource Management. I am also a fully accredited DISC and 360 assessment facilitator. The fun stuff! Personally I enjoy music and singing, travel, the beach and mountains, pilates and reading and spending time with my friends and family.
