‘My mentoring with Catherine has been incredibly valuable. Her support in building my confidence, and her reassurance that I have what it takes to make the next step, gave me much-needed clarity on my strengths and the progress I’ve already made. Her mentorship has helped me navigate real challenges, including my first M&A process, with greater capability and calm. The guidance she provided also helped me approach SLT meetings with more presence and effectiveness, which led to positive feedback. Overall, this experience has accelerated my development and helped me raise the bar for myself as I work towards the next stage of my career.’
