“Sensational! Kate’s ability to actively help me define my goals, and more importantly, to help me achieve them, is phenomenal!
Before commencing my coaching I was on a rollercoaster ride. I never knew how to set goals properly, and my achievements would be up and down, up and down. But since I’ve started my coaching with Kate I have reached every goal that I’ve set.
My results have not only exceeded the expectations of my employer, but of myself as well, and with Katherine’s guidance I am certain that they will continue to improve and sustain my new level of income. My sales results, year to date, have gone from average to 324% to target! To ask whether Kate is ‘worth it’ would be a serious understatement. The value that she’s added, not only to my income, but also to my business and personal life, is immeasurable.”

"Katherine was excellent. I appreciated her honesty. I felt that she connected well with me, and that is not a phrase I have ever used before. I found it liberating; it gave me permission to be me, and to use my own style, not conform to a preconceived corporate ideal. I now have a lot of thinking (and planning) to do."

“I have been having coaching for only a few short weeks, during which time I have experienced the most shattering period of my life. Kate has proved to be the most valuable coach I could have wished for and has helped me to come to terms with certain aspects of my personality and life which needed to be faced and either accepted or challenged and dealt with. 
In one session, Kate actually forced me to change a destructive lifetime habit into a positive acknowledgement of how useless this practice was and to alter it immediately – this brutally frank exchange was probably the most honest communication I have had with anyone in the last ten years!!! She’s not afraid to tell it like it is!”

"I tell you this not to blow my trumpet but to thank you for a most powerful series of coaching sessions that have echoed throughout the subsequent year, helping me to plough through my restricting habits and to achieve many of the goals I set out to achieve. The most powerful word you ever used on me was "So?", and it had been that which has echoed most loudly as I faced obstacles. It was that "So?", with a delightful Aussie accent, which pushed me on and through.

Thank you for your encouragement during our sessions and also throughout this last year when you weren't around. I speak the truth and I'm not ashamed of it. You were a huge influence on me. Value far exceeded investment."

"Last year I was part of the 5th Management Action Program organised through my department. As part of this program there were a number of follow up one on one coaching sessions and in my case this has been with Katherine Hosie. At the time of our first meeting I was a little at the crossroads in my career. On one hand I had been in the job for about six years and was very happy with what I was doing both from a scientific point of view but also the group I was looking after had become very successful so things were pretty comfortable. At our first meeting Katherine actually pointed this out to me through the 360˚ feedback reports she had received from my manager, peers, and subordinates. Katherine questioned what I was wanting to do in the future and I mentioned that I had been toying with the idea of maybe stepping outside my group and looking at opportunities within our Branch for experience managing larger groups. Katherine challenged me to look further into what I actually wanted as a future career and this lead me to assess my expectations and my life. 

A series of events over the last few months have since passed and I am now acting in my General Manager's position after he was promoted to the Division's CEO position. I don't think I would be here without Katherine's assistance and giving me the confidence to put my hand up and become a leader of the Branch. 

At our first session, I immediately felt that Katherine had done a lot of homework with both my personality profile and also the 360˚ feedback profile material and she had summed me up perfectly........which was a little confronting. Katherine was very engaging and tried to draw out as much as I was comfortable with and she showed me that she actually cared about my future direction.

We have had a number of subsequent sessions which have always been conducted in a very comfortable and friendly manner with Katherine always trying to stretch me. I have used the sessions to get resolutions to some of the difficult issues I was encountering in my new role and prepare for the future. 

Katherine has always made me do all the work with her carefully directing me down the right track which, I suppose, is the role of a good coach. I am now determined to apply for this position** when it is advertised in the next month or so, and if successful, I intend to request future sessions with Katherine. 

I have no hesitation in recommending Katherine to anyone as a fine example of a coach, and would be only too happy to expand on any of the points raised above if required. Katherine has given me a lot of confidence and I am a revitalised person with a true sense of direction and purpose."

- Dr R S   (** Dr R has been successfully promoted to General Manager)

"I am delighted to recommend Katherine Hosie as an executive coach of the highest quality. Kate has assisted our organisation with my direct report, struggling with change, yet fully committed to the organisation. 

Kate's coaching has brought about a complete transformation in his attitude, an ability for him to see things differently, and an understanding of self.

This has seen a turnaround from an employee that was considering leaving the organisation after many years, to someone that has been transformed into a modern-thinking, insightful and happy senior staff member who is now well-equipped to move forward with the organisation, and take a lead role in the changing environment."

- A T 

"Kate has been coaching me through significant transitions, both in my personal and professional life. During this time her coaching has been like a lighthouse in stormy seas.

Throughout our coaching I feel like I'm talking to a great friend. Kate creates a safe environment where I experience a deep listening and understanding from her. Through this connection I find my own pearls of wisdom emerge and a new way of relating to life ensues. I always leave each session with so much more of my "real" self intact.

I value Kate's honesty, her willingness to challenge me, and her insightful coaching. Kate is an artful coach, through which I create my own masterpieces. I highly recommend her to anyone."

- J P

"…Coaching was my turning point and has been an incredibly powerful experience. I can’t recommend her coaching highly enough. With her help I’ve identified and changed negative patterns, self defeating beliefs and conflicting values, all of which were holding me back for years.
In the past 12 months my income has more than tripled. I’m motivated, enthusiastic and am seeing my goals realised. I’m changing the way I think and that’s changing my life entirely.
Kate’s savvy and practical sessions have been invaluable. She has been a wise, insightful and supportive mentor. Coaching has not just been about achieving goals, it’s about becoming who I want to be and living the life I want to live.”

"Katherine Hosie has worked for me as an executive coach in Sydney, Australia, dealing with a variety of government executives from middle management level to senior executives. The engagements granted ranged from single sessions to ongoing coaching engagements for up to 6 months. Our company policy is to collect evaluation from our clients after every three coaching sessions and at the end of the coaching. Katherine has always received extremely positive feedback so I have no hesitation in recommending her for whatever coaching assignments you may have. 

It was a privilege to work with Katherine. I cannot recommend her highly enough."

- J R

"When I first started my coaching with Katherine I had just commenced a new position in a more senior role, managing a region of up to 15 people under a new structure and Government. I previously held a management position, but needed to develop my skills in setting boundaries, leading a team rather than managing a team, and being able to communicate with influence in an assertive style rather than a demanding style. I needed to enhance my leadership skills to be able to support a large and dispersed team spread across three locations. 

Since working with Katherine I have developed my communication skills, in particular with my staff. I have been able to use effective techniques at the right times when dealing with them. I am able to communicate with influence and get staff's commitment to do what is required of them in a timely manner. I am now a more assertive communicator, rather than getting uptight and stressed. I am now able to delegate and not feel guilty, and have the trust in others to do the job (or as Katherine calls it, "getting the monkey off your back").

Katherine has instilled self-belief in me, and a confidence that allows me to be a leader. Personally I feel that I have grown as a leader and am now much more comfortable with my communication style and implementing the techniques I have learned. I now see that I do have the capacity to effectively lead my team. I recently received informal feedback from my State Manager thanking me for my leadership and the support I have provided him in recent times.

Katherine has always made me feel very comfortable during our sessions and at times challenged me to think differently about my approach to being a leader; she has taught me to identify the values of others to assist me in building better relationships with team members, family members, and friends.

Katherine's friendly personality and her listening style have allowed me to build trust and confidence in knowing that after each session I will walk away with a new skill. I believe that I have also found a new lifelong friend in Katherine and I hope that our friendship does not end at the end of our coaching contract."

“… Kate is absolutely brilliant at uncovering the truth in people and helping them to identify the steps they need to take. She is extraordinarily insightful… Making the decision to be coached by her was one of the best decisions I have ever made! I cannot recommend her highly enough."
- S C

“…I have found Katherine to be exceptionally professional and responsible in her approach to my business dealings and I find she understands my requirements and provides helpful solutions to the many problems I seem to come up with during the course of day to day business. She is able to adjust her delivery style to suit my situation, and over the past 9 months has become an integral part of my business strategy.”

 “I have found Katherine to be an amazing addition to my life. When I first went to see her, I never really believed I needed a coach and within an hour I felt like I’d had a life changing experience. She has a very warm and genuine nature which makes it very easy to really reach inside and be honest with not only yourself but others as well. Since seeing her my business and personal life have elevated to a whole new level. One of the things I find quite amazing is, even just from my contacts alone, the diverse range of clients Katherine has and how much we all gain from our sessions. On many occasions I have spoken about her to others and her ability to connect with her clients and help them grow. I would not hesitate in recommending her to any business, individual, or group.”

“Sometimes someone comes into your life who leaves a lasting impression on you, and who helps you fundamentally change how you look at the world. Coaching has been such an experience for me, not just for the knowledge and skills I have gained, but more importantly because of the input of Kate herself. She has an innate ability to capture the moment and make each session a journey full of insights and discoveries. She is, quite simply, a magical coach, with wisdom that she shares both generously and expertly. I feel privileged to have her all to myself for an hour each week!”
- S H

“From my first session with Katherine I felt totally relaxed and an immediate connection… a ‘knowing’ that this was what I was looking for. She has an uncanny intuition of knowing exactly what to say to me in every situation. She holds me accountable for my actions and has a way of asking the right questions to get the best out of me.
Katherine adapts every session to suit me. The growth, personal development and results I have achieved so far have been nothing short of amazing!
She has a direct, honest, and totally-up front approach and a great sense of humour. The decision to embark on this journey with her has been my best so far.”
- J F

"I have been a client of Katherine's for the last 12 months and cannot recommend her highly enough. She is an experienced and exceptional coach, who will quickly and quietly enable you to uncover your inner self and take those steps to move forward. The journey I have travelled since I first started coaching with her has been tremendous. A real learning curve that is difficult to put into words. I feel very blessed for having the opportunity to meet her. 

Whatever your reason for coaching, I would recommend calling Katherine if you want a first rate coach."

“Dear Katherine! You are an inspirational coach who knows how to motivate and guide me (which is not an easy task!) Thank you for teaching me how to discover more happiness on my journey to grow wiser.”

“The ‘light bulb moments’ that I have with you continue to occur, and the underlying reasons for many of my behaviour are becoming evermore apparent.”

- M T

"Prior to starting up with Katherine as a coach I was stuck in a rut in relation to my career, my finances, my emotional and physical health, and my relationships. I can't believe how many barriers I've broken through since starting to work through things with Katherine. I've moved forward in all of these areas thanks to her warmth, insight, and experience. I am very grateful that fate brought us together."

- J T 

“Katherine made me address the problems that I was trying to keep hidden under the carpet! Coaching with her has made me feel more confident about branching out into new areas of my life, trying new things, and pushing myself to do the things I was scared of doing.
If you’re thinking about taking up coaching with Katherine – DO IT! She’s awesome! She helps you to keep focussed, sees right through you – and knows if you’re skirting around the issue. She really understands where I am coming from. She has this innate sense of being able to put into words my expressions, pauses, doubts, fears, and joys."
- K J

"Working with Kate has given me a good external view on my development areas and provides me an opportunity to have free and frank discussions on these. Her experience is great to draw on and her style is such that I feel I am actively developing new ideas / ways to tackle challenges I am facing."

- I G 

"Each and every coaching session is an invigorating experience which drives you to the next step in the process of change. Every time I finished a session my head was held higher and there was a confident step to my walk. The depth of knowledge and quirky stories that Kate has in her repertoire made the sessions truly enjoyable and I have never come out of a session without learning something new about myself that benefited me greatly. I have always seen the coaching sessions as one of the best investments I can make in my future. Cheers to Kate and her magnificent work!!! THANK YOU, Kate!!!!!!

“I am extremely fortunate to have Kate as my coach. She is professional, dynamic, humorous, supportive and incredibly resourceful. Although constantly challenging me, Katherine is sensitive and caring and has been instrumental in assisting me reach my purpose in life, while providing me with a most supportive environment…. I am amazed at how powerful and effective her style is and what an impact she has had on me in such a short time. With her expertise and the processes she uses, I feel I can do anything, and if I stumble or baulk…you can bet she will have an angle on that also. When I hit a wall, she picks me up and finds a new path… I am excited as to where I can go with Kate.”
- M A

"Worth every cent! After going through a difficult period and feeling emotionally spent, I knew I was not living a life I wanted to live, but did not know how to change it. Kate helped me understand my distorted pattern of thinking and how to challenge and deal with it. Her warm and genuine nature allowed me to be completely honest during the sessions. She is wise beyond her years and generous enough in spirit to share her wisdom and insights."
