Catherine Strong

Biography

I am an executive coach and businesswoman who has recently completed and passed her Level 7 ILM Certificate in Executive Coaching at the University of West of England (UWE). Through my coaching I add impact to business and executives in encouraging strategic focus, goal setting and solution driven approaches. Attested by feedback received including “Catherine held a very supportive reflective space for me to review my success. She helped me to see what I had achieved, which was so empowering and confidence boosting”.

My approach is calm and friendly yet powerful and amazingly effective. I am adept at providing coaching in person or on-line to individuals or teams. I offer bespoke coaching to meet the needs of businesses and executives including leadership, management, and wellbeing.

My coaching practice has been heavily influenced by the work of Michael Bungay Stainer, Nancy Kline and Benjamin Zander. As a member of the Institute of Leadership & Management (ILM), Charter Institute of Leadership (CMI) and European Mentoring & Coaching Council (EMCC) I continuously strive to broaden my own knowledge and skills through attending workshops, supervision, seminars, and learning from other coaches.
