YOU’RE IN! WELCOME
Nurturing Your Prophetic Call As A Catholic Leader
My 5-part signature process to develop an authentic leadership style that honours your spiritual beliefs and values while nurturing yourself and others.
(Without compromising, hiding, or diminishing your religious identity)
I'm offering a limited number of FREE 40-minute connection calls to Catholic leaders of the Nurturing Your Prophetic Call As A Catholic Leader masterclass, to help you shift what has been keeping you stuck and integrate spiritual and leadership growth together into YOUR leadership style.
You'll leave the call with an understanding of what makes a good leader and greater awareness of your strengths and areas of challenge as a leader. You get 40 minutes of my time, expertise and energy focused on YOU.
These calls are for Catholic leaders ready to shift into deeper self-awareness and take aligned action towards a beautiful, harmonious balance between your professional and spiritual self.
I'm here for you.
CONGRATULATIONS…
Your full humanity and spirituality is welcome here because I’m on a mission to show the world that leadership can be led from the heart. That we can have successful professional lives without sacrificing faith, diversity, inclusion, or our precious energy.
A new, more embodied way of leadership is here to stay. This is only the beginning.
LET’S STAY CONNECTED
Meet Kate
Kate has broad and extensive experience as a leader, both as a leader working in the Catholic Church and in organisations and communities that do not have a Catholic foundation.
She has worked internationally across Europe as a senior officer at the Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales and has undertaken many different ministries in the parishes she has lived in, from church cleaning to Eucharist minister to leading adult education. Kate has sat on English Catholic diocesan committees and trustee bodies and has worked with religious orders including recently establishing an international safeguarding policy. Kate continues to work as a facilitator both online and in person.
True to the belief that mothers are leaders, at times Kate has stepped back from external leadership work to focus on being a mother as well as supporting her mother and mother-in-law with dementia. This means Kate understands that one’s personal and work spheres are intrinsically linked and embraces the joys, successes, and failures that all leaders face. Her recent voluntary work has been in project management for a religious order alongside working as a Carmelite spiritual director and undertaking supervision of coaches and spiritual directors and secular leadership coaching.
In all this work, Kate is committed to creating a safe space for clients or directee or supervisees to explore their prophetic call, how they are utilising their God given gifts, and the challenges in people’s lives that impact upon their sense of self-worth, identity, purpose, and success – in their work or life – and how a spiritual life within a Catholic community can bring much meaning and support to this.
Kate has coached nationally and internationally with leaders, organisations, and communities. Her clients have ranged from women senior leaders in small to global companies, to leaders in universities and schools, and parents of young neurodivergent adults and university students. She has held senior posts in Catholic Education and spent five years lecturing at Warwick University in Leadership and Management on one of their MA courses.
A thirst for knowledge and understanding means Kate has many qualifications including both Carmelite and Inter-faith spiritual direction accreditation, Facilitation accreditation, Mindfulness and Meditation (many courses and much practice over the years); Buddhist and Western Psychology; Attachment theory, healing and coaching; Team Coaching; Executive Coaching; Trauma-informed coaching; and Supervision of Spiritual Directors to name but a few.
Kate was born into a family where her siblings all became high-performing leaders as well as being contemplative in their approach to life. Her parents emphasised to them that being ‘good’ was more important than being ‘great’. All her siblings have demonstrated in their lives work to support the Common Good in the world.
Practices of silence, meditation, religion, spirituality and contemplation have been part of Kate’s life since early childhood. She grew up in a multi-racial, multi-lingual city, so her work has been influenced by the diverse cultures and spiritualties she has engaged with and continue to motivate her now. She has travelled extensively and worked for short periods in Europe, Ghana and the USA.
In her coaching, Kate creates a safe and confidential space for people built on trust, deep listening, and support. She helps people develop their self-awareness and challenge their self-limiting beliefs while feeling deeply held and supported. A facilitator rather than a director, Kate helps leaders and managers find the answers within themselves rather than drawing on her extensive experience to simply tell people what to do. Coaching with Kate will show you ways to put your challenges or issues into new paradigms and goals.
Kate has an informed, warm, and kind personality. She is wise, intelligent, well-educated, not primarily an academic but intellectually informed. She describes herself:
“I’m a supporter and an advocate of people, with a healthy measure of pragmatism and good sense of humour in the mix. I am courageous in my life – not always on my own, but with supportive team players around me. Becoming a mother taught me much about leadership and the challenges parents who are leaders face in the workplace and communities and likewise in establishing a safeguarding policy for an international Catholic religious order it has affirmed my belief in the importance of the partnership between lay and religious in evangelisation”.
