“I am delighted to recommend Kate Franklin for team development facilitation and coaching, based on the outstanding work she has delivered for me and key members of my leadership team. Over this last year I have seen tangible performance uplift in my function, as a direct result of the time invested in work with Kate and her colleagues. Her well designed and executed interventions are enabling my leadership team to significantly move the needle on the Team Data on a number of key measures; overall functioning as a team; shared purpose; clarity of accountabilities; team relationships and trust. Kate brings in industry as well as coaching experience coupled with deep empathy which is a clear winning combination. Thank you Kate!”

“We’re a close knit Partner group at eatbigfish, and remain so in no small part due to the work we did with Kate Franklin. At several key points in our history, Kate worked with us to help surface objectively – and very sensitively and constructively – the barriers and enablers that exist in our different styles and capabilities as a management team. She married great skill with humanity and candour, and helped us find ways to work together even better – to listen more constructively, to partner with one another better where needed and overall to lead the business forward with clarity and alignment. She did great work for us that has had lasting impact, and I believe anyone who hires her will quickly – and enduringly – appreciate the impact she has on a team. She is the epitome of the strong hand in a kid glove.”

“Thanks Kate for designing and facilitating a valuable and productive offsite for our Exec Team.  It was a tough brief we gave you, with a lot of people and a lot of complexity, but you delivered superbly and everyone agreed it went really well.  In particular, the depth of conversation, the connectivity between people and the clear action plans we created were real highlights of the time spent together.  We’ve carried forward our commitments we made in the session and it’s definitely driven more direct and productive dialogue between us all.”
