Leadership Accelerator testimonials
It’s been nothing short of a revelation
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank you for yesterday’s session—it was a real eye-opener! I’ve just had my first Coaching for Performance session with some of our new hires, and honestly, it’s been nothing short of a revelation. Using the open questioning techniques we explored, I was able to give team members the space to think more independently. Rather than me dictating action points or reflections, they arrived at them on their own. It’s surprising how much impact a small shift in approach can make. I’m already seeing how this is improving both my communication style and my ability to motivate and inspire the team. Really looking forward to the upcoming sessions!

I can confidently say the Leadership Accelerator is a transformative experience
If you’re looking to elevate your leadership skills, meet some amazing fellow leaders & join community, I wholeheartedly recommend the Leadership Acceleration Program led by Kate Waterfall Hill. Having recently completed the program, I can confidently say it is a transformative experience for leaders at any stage of their journey (or even those who would like to manage. in the future). Kate’s real life expertise, combined with her ability to inspire and challenge, created a dynamic learning environment that pushed me to think differently about leadership. One of the standout aspects of the program was its focus on practical and very real-life leadership skills — creating vision for your team, delegating, resolving conflicts, leading through change, and fostering high-performing teams. Kate’s coaching encouraged me to reflect deeply on my leadership style, align my values with my vision, and create a measurable impact within my organization. For anyone serious about accelerating their leadership journey and being a good leader to others(and to yourself) , this program is an investment that pays dividends—not just for your career but for everyone around you. Thank you, Kate, for an inspiring and empowering experience

I felt like I had the benefit of a 1:1 leadership coach
Kate is an expert in her field and has a way about her that ensures you feel comfortable but also challenged. She will push you to question processes that are well ingrained and help you to discover new approaches to solve both live and past issues. The group coaching calls really help to consolidate all of the learning, where there is opportunity to practise and engage with the tools with Kate's support. You are encouraged to bring a live leadership challenge to calls, which means throughout the time I was doing the course, I felt like I had the benefit of a 1:1 leadership coach who could help support me along the way. This was critical for me, as during the course, I received a promotion which meant for the first time I was line managing a team who had line management responsibilities - which I had never done before! So having the opportunity to grow with the support of Kate has been brilliant. I've received positive feedback from my team about my leadership approach since starting the course, and will be recommending this course to many!

I really liked having a safe space on the weekly calls
I decided to work with Kate to support my leadership approach during a transition phase in my career. What I came away with after doing the Leadership Accelerator was a sense that I’m not alone in finding some aspects of leadership challenging. What I really liked was having a safe space on the weekly calls to ask questions and find practical solutions. I like to learn by experiencing the concepts; I’m not someone who can learn from being simply told the theory. So having Kate on the weekly calls, and the support of the rest of the group, and hearing other people's experience of work problems helped me make sense of the situations that I found myself in. Kate’s direct yet empathetic approach, the questions she asks in coaching, helps you put things into context and reframe what seems difficult into an opportunity. I know I have a library of concepts on which to pull; although I’m not consciously drawing on the theoretical aspects of leadership that Kate teaches, I know that the course has given me the confidence to tackle anything that comes my way. It’s all there in the back of my mind.

Perfect balance between leadership theory and practical application
Kate's approach to the course has struck the perfect balance between leadership theory and its practical application in everyday work scenarios. The group coaching sessions have provided a safe space with a supportive cohort, enabling us to share leadership challenges and insights each week. As a result of the program, I now feel significantly more confident in my role, and this newfound confidence is positively impacting my team. I have observed improvements in their motivation and overall morale, which is incredibly rewarding. In closing, I firmly believe that this is not the end of my leadership learning journey but merely the beginning. Thank you, Kate, for your guidance and support throughout this transformative journey!

Director of Implementation
Kate gives you lots of practical tips that you can implement
I first came across Kate on Facebook through her "Linda, the bad manager" TikTok videos. To me, the fact that she could demonstrate so hilariously how someone should not behave as a manager meant she probably had a clear idea of how leaders should behave instead. And I was not disappointed. I enrolled on the 12-week Leadership Accelerator course in November '23, which includes video tutorials, workbooks and weekly 90-minute group sessions, which went by in a flash, as they were packed full of useful information. They struck a great balance between theory and practice, thanks to role-playing and addressing participants' particular leadership challenges. The sessions felt very inclusive, with men and women of different ages, working in a wide range of sectors, attending the video calls from across the globe. The course covers a range of topics such as the importance of building relationships, coaching through a combination of asking questions and active listening, delegating, defining values and setting clear boundaries. Kate also gave some great book recommendations along the way for those wishing to deepen their leadership knowledge beyond the training content. Kate gives you lots of practical tips that you can implement in your everyday working life and helps you gain a clearer understanding of where your priorities should lie as a leader. I would highly recommend the course to anyone looking to improve their personal leadership skills.

Kate creates a space for real growth
I had the pleasure of joining Kate’s Leadership Accelerator course and a six-month coaching program, and the impact I observed was transformative. Kate’s insightful approach, thoughtful and challenging questions, helped me navigate with greater confidence and clarity. She creates a space for real growth—challenging and supporting in equal measure equipping you with tools and frameworks. If you’re looking for a coach who listens and tailors the approach to your individual needs, experience and leadership style, I highly recommend Kate! Last but not least, she is a delightful person that’s fun to work with 😊

This course has been instrumental in my journey to becoming a better manager and leader
Kate's Leadership Accelerator programme provided a truly supportive and safe space for growth. We explored various leadership topics, gaining insights not only from the course content but also from fellow participants. The sense of community was invaluable. This course has been instrumental in my journey to becoming a better manager and leader, particularly in developing skills like asking open questions. It's a powerful reminder of the importance of self-care in leadership. I'm committed to continuous improvement and minimising my 'inner Linda'! I would recommend the course as an excellent opportunity to learn, bringing your real life examples of challenges - and hearing others within the group is an excellent tool in learning new strategies which can apply to anyone. The course happens in a safe space, and is easy to attend and contribute to online.

Eternally grateful that I discovered Kate
I highly recommend the leadership course with Kate. It changed how I work with others, not just the people I manage but my peers and my own leaders. Eternally grateful that I discovered Kate and will be back for more learnings in the future!
Sam Hallowes
Change Management Lead
Really appreciated Kate's warm, open, and safe environment
Thanks to the wonders of TikTok I went from giggling away at Kate's alter ego "Linda" - to joining her 12-week Leadership Accelerator Group Coaching Program. It's been brilliant to join weekly sessions with Kate, and a group of like-minded people also looking to figure out how they can be better versions of themselves. Kate provided video training modules, self-reflection workbooks, a community platform and virtual workshops. I've found it incredibly valuable to step outside of my usual working circle, and into an environment where, instead of jumping to solutions to problems, I've had the time and space to reflect about my own behaviours and motivations. In each session, Kate provided practical advice to put learnings into action right away. Sometimes as simple as thinking about the language used in certain situations, and how reframing can lead to much more positive outcomes. I have a little post-it note sitting in front of me with some of the pearls of wisdom Kate has provided - and I use something written on it every day. By the end of the course I am going to need a bigger post-it note :). I have really appreciated Kate's warm, open, and safe environment, and surprised myself how much I have learned in such a short space of time. I highly recommend Kate to anyone who is looking to make work a better place for themselves and those around them, and if you are wondering what the challenges and aspirations are of peers in different organizations, group coaching is a great place to be. Thank you Kate for being such a source of inspiration.....and to Linda - thanks for introducing me to Kate!

Kate was kind, engaging, and made everyone feel at ease
Kate's leadership course is fantastic. Not only is it full of practical techniques I could (and did) apply the very next day, it gave me a new perspective on leadership and gave me the confidence to feel like I could be a great leader, while still being myself. Kate was kind, engaging, and made everyone feel at ease - no question was too silly to ask, and it was clear she had deep experience helping people with similar struggles.

Insights & Strategy
Kate’s laser-focused, empathetic questioning, her professionalism and good humour made the weekly sessions impactful and fun
Kate’s Leadership Accelerator course transformed my relationship with my role as a senior leader in education. In a chapter of huge change for the school, I was looking for realignment and coaching was clearly the way forward. Having winced at Linda-the-bad-manager’s twittery online, seeing some of my own less-than-helpful behaviours in high definition, I knew I was onto a winner in choosing Kate’s course. The group context and regular commitment was an ideal setting to zoom out from the operational realities of my role in the education sector and set it within the larger picture of managing people and problems in complex organisations. Kate’s wealth of experience, deft translation of theory to practical application, and skilled group facilitation create an ideal crucible in which meaningful change can happen. And it did. Intentional thinking about my leadership principles, resetting boundaries and lightbulb realisations about self-regulation have led to greater efficacy, positive interactions with colleagues and a renewed sense of personal and professional enjoyment. Kate’s laser-focused, empathetic questioning, her professionalism and good humour made the weekly sessions impactful and fun. The confidence and clarity I gained on the course allowed me to see what I can change and influence, and how to step around and beyond what I cannot, whilst maintaining my dignity. Most of the time, anyway! I cannot recommend the course and Kate highly enough.

Signature Programme testimonials
Kate is thoughtful, insightful, and full of practical wisdom
Working with Kate over the past year has been one of the most grounding and impactful experiences of my professional life. During a particularly challenging chapter, Kate provided not only unwavering support but also a steady presence that helped me navigate complex decisions with clarity and confidence. Her approach is thoughtful, insightful, and full of practical wisdom. She brings a toolkit of strategies that are as powerful as they are applicable—many of which I continue to use in the day-to-day management of my business. Kate has a rare ability to meet you exactly where you are while gently guiding you toward where you need to be. Beyond our one-on-one work, we invited Kate to co-host an event for senior leadership talent within the fashion and beauty industries—a testament to the respect and trust I have in her. The event was a tremendous success, in large part due to Kate’s ability to connect with people, facilitate meaningful conversation, and hold space for real insight to emerge. I can’t recommend Kate highly enough to anyone looking for a coach who brings both heart and strategy to the table.

For anyone considering working with you, I'd highly recommend it
Reflecting on the coaching program, I'm genuinely pleased with the strides I've made in delivering effective feedback and delegating new tasks to my team, thanks to the tools you've provided. The most transformative change has been the added structure and consistency in my leadership style. Before our sessions, I often relied on bursts of energy to push me through; now, I feel steadier and deliberate in my approach. If I were to have coffee with my former self, I think she'd be amused—and perhaps a bit impressed—by how much more proactive and confident I've become in leading our team. It's a change that has not only enhanced my effectiveness but has also positively impacted the entire team dynamic. For anyone considering working with you, I'd highly recommend it. Your guidance has been instrumental in these improvements...Thank you for all your support and looking forward to our continued collaboration.

Kate's coaching has helped me figure out strategies
I've struggled a lot with knowing what to focus on and when, as there is always so much going on and everything feels super important. Kate's coaching has helped me figure out strategies to isolate the key tasks from all of the noise and help me take my business forward. Kate puts forward insightful and challenging questions that have taught me a lot about myself, but also inspired me to be more decisive and strategic in what I do.
Charlie Cawsey

I highly recommend Kate for leadership coaching
I highly recommend Kate for leadership coaching. She struck the balance between being forthright and empathetic. She actioned my feedback and created a safe space for me to express my needs and boundaries so that we could build trust between us. She has a wealth of expertise and really got to the heart of issues that I bought to our sessions. Our meetings were in part thought experiments to prepare me to execute concepts in in the workplace and I am really looking forward to putting more of what I learnt into practice.

Kate guided me through the most difficult period of my entire career
I’ve been a business owner & leader for the past 12 years. I worked with Kate on a One to One basis for approx 6mths. Kate guided me through the most difficult period of my entire career and helped me to figure out what I wanted and how to get there for myself and by myself. Our sessions were challenging and thought provoking for me. Kate’s personable approach and style suited me perfectly and I absolutely loved the summary notes she sent after our sessions, these made such a difference when I needed a ‘reset’ in between our sessions. I made some huge personal decisions during my time working with Kate and for the first time in a very long time I am excited about my future.

Kate listens, asks clever (and occasionally challenging) questions, and shares her wisdom and experience in such an emotionally intelligent way
I've been working with Kate for the past six months, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for outstanding leadership training and life coaching. My sessions with Kate are wonderful - she listens, asks clever (and occasionally challenging) questions, and shares her wisdom and experience in such an emotionally intelligent way that it feels like we've come up with solutions as a team. Kate has shared some incredibly useful resources with me, allowing me to work between our sessions, and the one-on-one time I have with her is always very positive and enjoyable. Kate is a fantastic mentor, and I hope to work with her again in the future.

The experience has been transformative
I've had the pleasure of working with Kate as my leadership coach for the past six months, and the experience has been truly transformative. At the outset, my goals were to boost my confidence, navigate difficult conversations more effectively, and build a toolkit to support my career growth. Kate has not only helped me achieve all of these goals but has far exceeded my expectations.Her insightful, probing questions during our sessions have pushed me to reflect deeply on my actions and approach to challenging situations. Kate’s personable nature and genuine investment in my success made each session feel both supportive and productive.I am incredibly grateful for all the growth I've experienced through our time together. If you're looking for a coach who will truly guide and inspire you, I cannot recommend Kate highly enough!

Refreshing approach, technique, and style
I’ve had the privilege of working with Kate for last couple of years at The Network Collective, initially as a peer, but more recently as a leadership coach, where she has provided invaluable support and guidance on my road to becoming a CEO. I found Kate’s approach, technique and style to be very refreshing in comparison to other “coaching” experiences I’ve had in in the past. Based on my experience of the coaching programme, we have now extended the leadership coaching to members of the SMT and it is already paying dividends in relation to new and improved behaviours in them and their respective teams

Kate is honest, supportive, challenging, and encouraging—all while being firmly on my side
I never thought I needed a business coach. I mean, with the daily juggle of running a business and managing Mum life, if I'm being honest, I didn't think I had time. (One thing I've learnt recently, we can always find time for the things we want to do 😉) After a few months of working with Kate, I couldn’t have been more wrong. Having a business coach like Kate has been an absolute game-changer. She’s honest, supportive, challenging, and encouraging—all while being firmly on my side. What more could we want when we’re running a business? 🤷♀️ Kate has really helped me think about my values and understand the importance of living by them, both at work and at home. I never realised how much someone could help me align my values with my day-to-day decisions, and now I can’t imagine not having Kate’s guidance. If you’re on the fence about working with a coach, take it from me—you might just surprise yourself! 💪 🌟
Kelly Goodship
Managing Director
Kate’s intellect is razor sharp, she is exceptionally professional, and just ‘gets you’
Whilst her TikTok alter ego Linda shames you, Kate validates and hears you. Don’t be fooled though, she won’t let you off the hook if there is something she needs to challenge you on. Kate helped me define my values, reflect on where they align with my behaviour as well as those of others and give practical tips on how to go forward. If you’re new to coaching – she will take very good care of you. And if you are a pro – you’ll learn many more things than you thought you would. Kate’s intellect is razor sharp, she is exceptionally professional, and just ‘gets you’. Easy to work with, you can trust her.

Safe and confidential space to discuss challenges
The initial programme of coaching sessions with Kate helped me to bridge the gap between where I was & where I wanted to be - which was in a senior management role. Now that I'm in the new senior role, Kate continues to help me enhance my performance & my leadership skills. I not only come away from each conversation with a toolkit of tangible things that help me on a day to day basis & that really make a difference, I also have a safe & completely confidential space to discuss challenges. Every session is uplifting, productive & free of judgement - we also have a right laugh which is a bonus!
Clare Tyndall
Head of Department
I feel more confident and less stressed
Coaching really helped me get to the core of a number of topics and come up with ideas to change some long-standing behaviours & habits. Kate's questions got me thinking in different ways, which helped establish solutions I may not otherwise have found. Coaching left me feeling more confident in my communication skills and lowered my stress levels. The work we did on establishing my core values was really helpful.
Jess Wyatt
Account Director
Extremely personable, and highly experienced
I have been attending Kate’s coaching sessions for the past year and have found them “on point” every time! Kate is extremely personable, focused and not to mention highly experienced! Every session is relaxed, and I feel comfortable talking about any work situation that has arisen since the last session, that I need to discuss. Kate’s coaching techniques and tools are a valuable resource for me. Kate allows me to get the best out of a given situation and promotes positivity throughout. After every session, Kate provides notes and resources to takeaway and use. I find them a great reference point during times where I need to revisit and remind myself of how I can lead in a positive way. I’ve seen this not only benefit myself, but as a result, my team members! Since starting the sessions, I feel more confident and empowered, and have a clearer outlook on my career goals and what I want to achieve. I recommend Kate for anyone who feels “stuck in a rut” with their career and is wishing to revisit their career aspirations and/or those wishing to progress into leadership. Cannot recommend Kate highly enough and look at her “TikToks”, they’re fab! 😉

I cannot recommend Kate highly enough
I had the pleasure of working with Kate as my leadership coach over the past year, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Kate's expertise in leadership development and her ability to tailor her coaching to my specific needs have been invaluable. She has a remarkable ability to listen, empathise, and provide insightful guidance. Our sessions were always well-structured and focused on achieving clear outcomes. She provided practical tools and techniques that I could immediately apply in my role as Head of Live. Her approach to coaching is both supportive and challenging, encouraging me to think critically and strategically about my leadership style and the impact I have on my team. Thanks to Kate's guidance, I feel more confident and equipped to navigate the challenges of leadership. Her coaching has been extremely helpful to me and I am excited to continue applying the insights and strategies that I have learned from her. I very much hope to work with Kate again in the future.

Would highly recommend
I can vouch for Kate’s 1 to 1 coaching. I’ve found it invaluable to be able to talk through situations and problems and gain another point of view together with some techniques and the reasons why those behaviours may be happening. Would highly recommend.

Kate gave me the confidence to "LET GO" more
I'd been thinking of stepping away from working behind the chair after 40yrs of hairdressing, but didn't really know how to. Watching Kate's alter ego "Linda" on TikTok made me realise that I needed different skills to what I had if this were to happen. Right from the start Kate helped me with these skills, but more importantly (which I never thought of), Kate gave me the confidence to "LET GO" more and to allow my team to step up. I found Kate’s knowledge rewarding and inspiring, which in turn has given me more confidence, now that I'm changing to my next chapter in my work life. Thank you Kate.
Jeff O'Neil
Founder
Positive, thought-provoking, and incredibly valuable
I find the discipline of carving out time for coaching to be hugely beneficial. It's an incredibly efficient use of time, as by the end of each session, I nearly always come up with several concrete next steps, thanks to Kate's coaching expertise and questioning skills. We discuss a range of issues, sometimes strategic, long-term challenges and sometimes more tactical, project-based matters. During the coaching programme, I've unlocked a variety of practical solutions to various quandaries, but also found the sessions to be positive, thought-provoking & ultimately incredibly valuable.
John Waterhouse
Founder & Chairman
I received a mine of information and extra resources
The coaching sessions I had with Kate had a transformative effect, not only on my deliverables but also on my career. As well as creating a comfortable space to be heard, Kate helped me build my confidence, and gave me the tools to approach challenging situations with a new perspective. Each session was built with a specific objective in mind - which was not only met but exceeded as I always received a mine of information and extra resources on the subject I wanted to discuss! It feels so refreshing to have a new way of doing thing. Thank you Kate!

Best experience I've had thus far with coaching
Kate provided the best experience I've had thus far with coaching. She was always very focused on the outcomes I wanted for me and not a minute of any session felt wasted. In addition to making my primary aims the primary aims of the session, she noted and provided resources in other areas of improvement she had independently spotted. After 3 sessions I feel that I'm in a vastly more empowered place than when we started, having achieved some of my desired outcomes and being in the process of achieving others.

Ali Hussain

Refreshing and very different to other management training
Kate is very intuitive and very quickly identified and understood the issues I was facing, using coaching methods to help me arrive at much-needed conclusions and solutions, rather than spoon-feeding advice. I found this approach refreshing and very different to management training I've had in the past. On a personal level it's been a delight talking to Kate - she's very engaging and personable and we hit it off right away!

It was a powerful learning and development experience
I've had the privilege of 1-2-1 coaching sessions with Kate and it has been a powerful learning and development experience for myself.

I’ve become a more organised and effective leader
I’m writing to recommend Kate for her fantastic leadership coaching. Over just three sessions, I’ve seen a big change in both my personal development and how I manage my team. Kate struck the perfect balance between professional and approachable. She took the time to understand what I wanted to achieve and where I was coming from. Her insights and practical tips have been incredibly helpful. I’ve started using many of the techniques she suggested on a daily and weekly basis, and the results have been great. What I appreciated most was how Kate tailored her advice to fit my specific needs. Her feedback was always honest, spot-on and easy to put into action. Because of Kate's coaching, I’ve become a more organised and effective leader The sessions were professional but had a relaxed and friendly vibe, making it easy to open up and get the most out of the experience. Kate has a genuine passion for helping people grow, and it shows in her coaching style. Overall, working with Kate has been a game-changer for me.

I absolutely loved our sessions and would really recommend
Working with Kate helped me in identifying my values and my long-term career objectives while offering practical tools to reflect and plan. We also looked at challenging some old habits to build new ones that will support me as HR professional and more generically as a person. I absolutely loved our sessions and I would really recommend her to anyone thinking of getting some coaching or offering it to their team as part of their people strategy.

The team now has a deeper understanding of others, their styles and objectives
With lots of product/company training in hand, I was looking for a day for my individually high performing team members, to come together, to explore ways to go to the next level. How could we improve on the great results achieved individually, by coming together more, so that ultimately there's a stronger business outcome? Kate facilitated a great workshop (Design Thinking Methodology) whereby the team came together to have a deeper understanding of others, their styles and objectives, which will lead to better connections to drive stronger business outcomes in '25. The team thoroughly enjoyed the day, appreciated the value that Kate bought, guiding them throughout and we're already talking about a follow up session in H1 '25. Delighted I found Kate (& her alter-ego Linda) and looking forward to the next session in '25. Thank you!

Opportunity to gather and learn with our team
In recognition of International Women's Day, we invited Kate Waterfall Hill to our offices to host a workshop with our team... The event was a great success and served as an opportunity for our team to gather and learn with one another... The feedback was very positive and they all enjoyed the interesting points that you raised, I had a number of very insightful conversations this afternoon.What resonated the most for me was the possibility that imposter syndrome may be something else, such as a skills gap, a development gap or just an experience gap. This knowledge I believe gives hope that everyone has the capability to close those gaps.

Kate covered so much from growth mindset and time management, to managing others and dealing with conflict
Kate delivered a brilliant leadership workshop for us, keeping everyone's attention throughout the day. She covered many important topics including growth mindset, time management, managing others and dealing with conflict, providing the team with great insight and helpful tips to help tackle these areas. After the workshop the team fed back lots of positive feedback about Kate and her coaching style, saying how much they had learnt. We are now looking forward to her next workshop covering other valuable skills such as strategic thinking, communication and collaboration.

I would recommend a similar session to others most definitely - it felt like a safe environment
We had a great facilitation workshop with Kate today. It felt like a safe environment and having gone in quite closed minded and guarded, I felt I was able to be honest and learn from all opinions shared. Kate was direct and confident, leading the discussion to help us. I would recommend a similar session to others most definitely.

Kate's attention to detail and ability to make everyone feel included made all the difference
A huge thank you to Kate for organising such an excellent training day! The session was not only well-structured and engaging but also gave the team some real clarity on how we can collaborate more effectively moving forward. Kate's attention to detail and ability to make everyone feel included made all the difference. It’s great to see the impact of well-planned training in boosting morale and fostering a stronger sense of teamwork. Looking forward to putting these insights into action. Well done, Kate!

Working with Kate really reinforced our strategic vision
I absolutely loved working with Kate Waterfall Hill along with my senior team - sometimes having an external perspective can really help solidify strategies and future planning and that's exactly what Kate did with great knowledge, compassion and warmth. We looked at leadership skills, development, improving processes, communication, coaching skills and overall values. Working with Kate really reinforced our strategic vision and helped us plan for our exciting next steps.

Dynamic, varied & Kate was a fantastic host
Kate facilitated an excellent workshop that helped me gain valuable insight into my team. After a recent role change, I was looking for my teams input to developing the road map for what we want to achieve in the coming months, as well as help me better understand the challenges they encounter & give them a forum to share ideas for solutions. It seemed a lot to achieve, but Kate suggested and facilitated a brilliant workshop day that provided the ideal structure to generate discussions & encourage collaboration. The day was dynamic, varied & Kate was a fantastic host. From Kate's workshop, we have been able to start developing some short, mid & long term developments as well as identify some ways to better collaborate across both our team, but the wider business also. We have taken some actions already, and am looking forward to continuing to build on what we took away. I would highly recommend Kate - her expertise has been invaluable to developing my career journey, and I always thoroughly enjoy the opportunities we have to work together!
