Katie
Training & Coaching Coordinator
My GROW:
- Grateful
I have been fortunate to have been given some amazing opportunities in both my personal and professional life for which I will always remain grateful. I appreciate that nothing is a given so anything that I do experience should be gratefully received, even if I don’t realise it at the time.

- Open-Minded
I’m always keen to learn from others and find it fascinating to notice ways that I may think differently to someone else. Being open-minded has also provided me with many great opportunities and I’ve been surprised at how much I could have missed out on by not keeping an open mind.

I value the warmth of a kind and thoughtful relationship and try to ensure I offer this to others. Something as simple as a smile can improve someone’s day which I’m always aiming to achieve!
