Kathy has wide business experience at board level within the commercial and marketing areas of premier league organisations such as Marks & Spencer, Boots PLC and L’Oreal. She has enhanced this experience with a Masters in Occupational Psychology which allows her to work with individual clients and teams to optimise their performance and maximise the opportunities for business success.

Kathy’s broad leadership and management experience enables her to support clients with a practical, insightful and inclusive approach to the achievement of objectives. She has been involved in a wide range of individual and organisational development initiatives taking a realistic and client-centred approach ensuring improved performance and the maximisation of potential. Kathy heads up QED Consulting’s Coaching team and is particularly passionate about optimising individual potential.

Kathy is also mum to 3 lively children who provide many useful and humorous examples to support her workshops and to keep the office entertained! She is currently involved in writing a book on Human Resource in the Leisure Services, is non-executive director of the Lyceum Theatre in Sheffield and Deputy Chair of the Governing Body of a local school.

Kathy’s current favourite quote is:

‘If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to go to the forest to gather wood, saw it and nail the planks together. Instead, teach them the desire for the sea.’ Antoine de Saint-Exupery.

With so many things in common (such as having a young lively family and being fluent in French), Kathy is hopeful that if Hollywood ever gets round to making a movie of her life, Kristen Scott Thomas would jump at the opportunity portray her.
