The results speak for themselves.

It is hard for me to find the words to convey the impact Katherine has had on my work and business. She has extraordinary skills in strategic thinking, self-designed tools and templates that streamline processes and maximise output, and business acumen that she effortlessly applies to any industry.

But it is her astute sensitivity, much-needed compassion and non-judgmental approach that sets her apart from anyone else. You can't teach that, and it was this inimitable combination that made it so incredibly easy to trust her with myself and my business that has meant the progress we made was so powerful and lightning fast.

Katherine immediately could see that I can't be separated from the business nor it from me, and how to work with me through both heart and head to best develop an achievable, actionable, tangible strategy to implement from our very first session. Katherine has the perfect balance of carrot and stick - she knows when I'm hiding behind nonsense excuses and isn't afraid to call me out on them; once again maximising on our productivity but also further entrenching my trust and respect for her both in her line of work and as a businesswoman.

The package included Whatsapp comms outside of our sessions, which I have heavily utilised...! As a female founder working predominantly by myself, having a trustworthy sounding board with insight into my business has been invaluable - helping steer me in my decision-making at crucial moments, keep me focused on the goals we have set out and not get blinded by distractions, and being a huge cheerleader for the moments of success.

The process with Katherine has been nothing short of life-changing and I both applaud and envy in equal measure those that get to work with her next.

Thank you, Katherine - you're next level.

Katherine helped me to look deeply into my established and successful translation agency and work out a way forward that would involve becoming more successful with less work for me. It really is all about strategy! By the end of the first day we'd pulled apart just about every part of the business and put it back together with some very cunning plans and notes - planning, strategies, growth.

I left with a spring in my step, full of beans and enthusiasm for the next steps. I see Katherine every three months and she keeps me on track. Having someone like her looking into my business from the outside is just invaluable - she really is a pocket strategist and I think everyone should have Katherine in their pocket!

She's also an extremely lovely person. And provides all this in a beautiful setting. With cake. Don't delay (I did, and I wish I hadn't)! Thank you, Katherine - see you soon!

~Claire Suttie, MD, Atlas Translations

Katherine has created foundations for my business that I could have only dreamed of! She nas somehow managed to get right into my brain, make sense of my jumbled approach to what has been a 3 in 1 business, and untangle the mess; map out the necessary for the upcoming year, AND do it while holding a safe, supportive and kind space for me.

I wish that I had found Katherine earlier in my business journey. I've spent thousands on programmes and group memberships but spending just one quality day with Katherine has acheived more than all of the programmes put together. I feel structured, clear, ready to take action and know exactly where I need to focus. And on top of all that, I feel inspired again to be doing it.

Katherine- I can't thank you enough for the care, attention to detail, tools, suggestions and structure you have provided.

~Jennie Blake, Consultant

I had the pleasure of working with Katherine again this year and I highly recommend her strategy sessions as an investment in your future.

Katherine helps you zoom out to unpick challenges, you’ll plan for the future you want and the priorities you need to focus on. Plus she’ll call out your excuses and hand you a healthy dollop of realism along the way.

She helped me identify my need to slow down, do less, despite thinking I need to do more - instead to focus on intentional decisions to grow both myself and my business.

I’ve built on my skills and developed healthier habits to ensure The Reflective Collective is profitable, sustainable and that I continue to find the joy in the work I love.

Thank you Katherine!

~ Hannah Palmer, The Reflective Collective

I am not sure what I was doing before I met Katherine - mainly ambling along in an unsustainable and hapless way.

My strategy day brought near instant results and clarity around everything from business purpose to services to pricing to resource mix. In just a few months I have got a new support structure in place, am operationalising and although it is undeniably hard and relentless work in the "messy middle",

I am doing the kind of work I love doing bringing the best of what I know to as many people in legal as I can. She is but a voice note away for any kind of business dilemma and I just want to have enough pipeline to have her on my side for the long term, as I now cannot imagine business life without her wise counsel!

Work with this amazing woman founder - you will not regret it.

~Helen Burness, MD, Saltmarsh MArketing

Katherine has the innate ability to extract your true goals and will stop you from playing small. She challenges every negative thought I have and makes me see just how I'm limiting myself because of the negative self-talk.

After talking to her I always feel like a huge weight has been lifted as our conversations always bring me such clarity and very clear next action steps.

Since working with Katherine I have achieved my biggest financial month and am now booked out with clients.

~ Kate Humpherys, Founder, Holistic Systems ~

This year has been a year of growth... and I'm not sure I could have done it so successfully without Katherine by my side.

I've been lucky enough to work with Katherine on her Quarterly Strategy day programme throughout 2023, at I time where I began to really shape what it was that I wanted my business to become. Katherine is the calming influence on my tendency to over-rev, my accountability when I've (subconsciously) tried to avoid the best path and my absolute cheerleader when I forget to celebrate how far I've come.

As well as the confidence boosts, Katherine's eye for operations is brilliant - introducing tools that add practicality to my creative energy, and helping me to see that just because it's my business, it doesn't ALL need to be MY responsibility. Katherine literally dialled in a VA who has fundamentally changed not just the way I do things, but my mentality around delegation.

My business has changed, and so have I. Thank you so much Katherine for everything - I'm so grateful that I took the step to invest in my business with you.

~Louise Gregson-Williams, MD, Leap ThirtyTwo Marketing

Working with Katherine has given me real clarity in my business and how to get a handle on the growth.

She's given me practical advice and expert knowledge - she's an expert in her field, incredibly personable and a real joy to work with.

It's been an intense period working ON my business, but knowing Katherine was by my side and could help me along the way, was a huge help. Thank you.

~Faye Dicker, Founder, Freelance Mums

Katherine has been my business partner, advisor, and cheerleader from day one.

Her warm nature and optimistic approach create a safe space for brainstorming, while her sharp insight helps get straight to the root of what's holding you back. She asks the right questions and gives practical, straightforward advice that you can actually implement.

From setting goals and developing services to refining processes, I wouldn’t have my business up and running without her. Thanks to Katherine’s guidance, I’ve gained clarity, built a sustainable strategy, and feel more confident in my decisions. And I still hear her voice in my head (or through my phone!) whenever I'm at a crossroads, keeping me grounded and focused.

~Jo Randall, MD, Jo Randall Websites

If you wish to take your business to the next level, I recommend working with Katherine at The Pocket Strategist.

From our first meeting, she understood me and what I was trying to do. I posed a dilemma that I was thinking about and straight away she gave me a clear no-nonsense answer. I knew she would be a valuable asset to me.

I was in the middle of pivoting my business to write SEO long-form blogs for businesses and needed help in realising my plans.

Katherine’s wide experience working in different departments in large firms and running her own companies gives her expertise across every aspect of business. Whether it was building the foundation with values, purpose, and mission statement, identifying customers, or developing services and packages, Katherine guided me in the right direction.

I appreciated taking time out to focus on my business. Katherine always chose beautiful, tranquil settings which were ideal places to give me the breathing space with no interruptions to explore where I wanted to take my business.

She gave me great tools which I continue to use today. I finally enjoy using a Trello board to keep on top of everything and I detail my weekly plan to ensure I continue to spend time on my business.

If you’re looking to work with someone who has an ‘anything is possible’ attitude then Katherine is the person for you.

~Jane Raynor, Copywriter

I was panicking about my business and really afraid to look at the stats and projections just in case. Katherine really took the time with me to go through the financials, and pipeline and helped me see that my business was in so much better shape than I thought. Strategic stuff doesn't feel as though I am pulling my weight.

Katherine's calm way of asking questions and pulling out the information that is in my head really helped me see my business, and enabled me to see what I could do to maximise my time, and the potential.

Having someone to turn too and be there in my pocket feels like a weight off my shoulders. If you need someone in your corner, asking you those awkward questions and bringing clarity then Katherine is your go to.

~Annette Cairns, MD, Green Shed Talent Development

I have just completed a 6-month strategy programme with Katherine and would not hesitate to recommend her. She blends straight-talking, sharp-minded strategic thinking with empa-thy, understanding and kindness, and it was exactly this balance that I was looking for. She helped me get clear on what I wanted to achieve (which is half the battle), and then we co-designed a route for getting there. She's also incredibly well-networked and has made some great introductions for me. If you're a business owner you need Katherine on your side.
