Executive and Leadership Coaching


😍😍😍😍😍

We recently had the privilege of having Kate from ROOTBALL develop and facilitate some workshops for us to help us improve the customer service experience at Disability Positive. Kate was great and worked with us throughout the whole process to ensure that we got exactly what
we needed from each session, going above and beyond what was expected. As a result of these workshops team morale has now improved by 30% and team members are already making improvements in the client service and enhancing their own experiences at work.
We really got to grips with how the team was thinking and feeling about the service they provide and their experiences at work. We also worked on how we communicate and conduct ourselves and are already implementing the great solutions we came up with during our sessions. We have now started to see a real change with tangible improvements in the team experience and client satisfaction, and are really pleased with how things are progressing. We can’t thank Kate enough. Her passion and enthusiasm in wanting to help support real change was inspiring. We would highly recommend Kate for similar projects.

Our people’s wellbeing and personal development is always a top priority at Plus Dane. Kate has worked with us over the last few months and has been extremely helpful in gaining valuable insights into how our senior leaders are thinking and feeling about the recent and planned changes in our organisation. As a result of this work, we now have a much clearer picture on where to focus our energy to continue improvements in organisational systems, processes, and leadership development. Kate has also been providing development coaching for several of our senior leaders and the feedback has been fantastic! Our leaders strongly agree that the coaching they received was exactly what they needed to make a greater impact in work, and are already putting into practice what they have learned. Kate approaches our working relationship as a partnership and adds extra value by providing additional advice/resources to inform our organisational development plans. Her previous senior leadership experience is also a real plus in providing a perspective on the challenges leaders face and Kate draws on that experience to help leaders navigate towards their own solutions. We have now invited Kate back to do further work with us. I would definitely recommend ROOTBALL services to other organisations looking to invest in effective leadership engagement and development.

Kate made me quickly feel at ease which allowed me to provide a detailed overview of the current challenges I am facing with work. Her ability to listen to my story and pin-point the key areas of concern, both short and long term was quite amazing and really made me stop and think. Although I knew them, I hadn’t realised the emotional impact of these points and my natural reaction not to face them. She asked questions to help guide my thinking and to arrive at my own solutions. I felt empowered after the conversation; I understood the direction I wanted to take and knew I would act on it. In fact, the moment just presented itself a day later. Had I not spoken to Kate, I do not think I would have had the conversation then; I would have dragged it out longer. I feel so much stronger in myself knowing that I have taken control of my situation.

Life, Careers and Business Coaching


😍😍😍😍😍

Kate has changed my life, made my true self possible and made me aware of who I really am. If it weren’t for Kate I would not be conquering fears, aware of my true purpose in life and what I want. Kate has been tenacious, completely honest, understanding yet firm. The whole process is tailored to the individual, right down to how we would like the support delivered. I feel like everyone needs Kate in their life, things become so much clearer, Kate is such a great support! I cannot say enough, you just have to try Kates life Coaching for yourself!

Kate has been supporting me with business and life coaching since October 2019.
From a business perspective she has helped me immensely, on many tasks from creating great content, how to identify and meet the needs of my brand values and purpose, all the way through to setting achievable, profitable financial goals. Kate has helped me view my business from a different, quality perspective which has helped me to digest and understand what’s going to help my business grow and succeed.
Kate’s life coaching expertise has helped me understand what matters to me most, feel more connected to my personal purpose and what I need to do to live a life of fulfillment and greater happiness.
Kate and I continue to work together, she plays a key role in the success of not only my business but also my personal endeavours. Her infectious personality makes her a pleasure to work with. I value her knowledge and expertise deeply, as well as her patient, kind and compassionate approach.
I can’t recommend Kate highly enough, I will be forever grateful for her coaching and the impact its made on my business and my life.

Kate has been working with me as a Life Coach over the last 6 months and I can honestly say that the impact that she has had is immeasurable.

Kate really takes the time to understand you as a person, what makes you tick, understanding your fears, frustrations, goals and targets and has really helped me in developing where I want to go and how I’m going to achieve it – I can’t recommend her enough. Working together has had a really positive impact on my mental health & well- being

I approached Kate as I was unsure of what was next for me in in terms of career, family and future projects. Through discussion and activities, Kate asked pertinent questions which challenged my perceptions and assumptions. She listened to what I had to say carefully to gain an insight into my life. This led to me approaching situations and asking for things that I would not have attempted or considered previously. Plans are now in place to afford me greater work-life balance and time to develop creative avenues. I am excited about the future for the first time in years.
