Katie is the Founder and Director of Yellowrattle Coaching alongside being an Associate Consultant and Coach with Human Alchemy.
Yellow Rattle is a plant that when put to soil allows other plants to flourish; it’s known as the meadow-maker. Katie works with people who want to create cultures which allow them, and those around them, to flourish.
People contact Katie when it’s high stakes: a founder scaling up, a change in career, significant decision times. They want autonomy over their decisions, understand the influences acting upon them, and I coach them to choose their own path.
Katie’s approach is built on her experience as a leader in austere and challenging environments in the military, where she designed and evolved ways to build high performing teams in high stake, high consequence situations. The approach Katie developed empowered individuals, built their confidence, and trusted them with developing their own approach to support the mission outcomes. When Katie left the military in 2014, she designed her leadership of change approach around this concept and have subsequently coached Public Sector leaders, Management Consultants, Founders in ScaleUp and Future Talent cohorts.
Katie’s approach to supporting leaders is inclusive, curious, diligent, and always in partnership. Katie holds degrees in Aeronautical Engineering from the University of Glasgow and International Relations from Cambridge University. Her coaching qualification is through Henley Business School, where her qualification is accredited through the International Coaching Federation and European Mentoring and Coaching Council, where she is accredited as a Senior Practitioner. Katie continually develops her coaching skills through supervision and further education, including broadening her depth of knowledge through her Warwick Business School MBA and analytical psychology courses.
