Kathryn's Training Background

"I was a member of the GlaxoSmithKline European Training Team having completed their ‘Train the Trainer’ coaching modules with Excel Communications, who remain one of the best training companies I’ve ever worked with. I developed the rollout strategy for a global training program within GSK, advising on content and presentation.

One of the reasons I went freelance was to learn about business management. As a consequence I’ve been privileged to work alongside some incredibly talented life and business coaches from whom I continue to receive regular business development advice.

In life and business, you never stop learning and developing, so while I offer training courses to clients, I also continue my own personal development to ensure I give the best service."
