I'm not quite sure how I did my job before working with Hatty. She has helped me gain perspective on my role within my agency but also within the industry. I've recently gone through a job transition from ECD to CCO and was able to step up with full confidence in who I am as a leader, with a clear grasp on my personal vision and values. She's not only a sounding board but comes with solutions and suggestions that have proven invaluable. I couldn't recommend Hatty's coaching enough.

Hatty and I bonded over some LinkedIn messages where it was clear - and exciting - that we shared the same perspective on leadership and what makes an agency great. I was excited to work with her, but working with her has been more than I could have hoped for. Hatty has a rare gift of kindness, calmness, intelligence, true understanding and oh-so-much wisdom. She’s helped me with confidence, finding my voice, my values, identifying and acknowledging my strengths and being able to navigate situations with clarity and calm. She constantly helps me find perspective and is a wonderful sounding board - she asks smart questions and is a driven solution finder. After every session with Hatty I feel armed, ready and excited to go forth with optimism. Thank you Hatty!

We invited Hatty to conduct a comprehensive review of our creative agency comprising a staff survey, 1:1 interviews and full-team coaching. Our vision was complex and ambitious, and we simply couldn't have done it without Hatty's unique blend of cognitive and emotional intelligence, leadership expertise and tireless hard work. I've immediately seen Hatty's impact on our team and our work. She uncovered blind spots, gently surfaced unspoken concerns and created a platform to move forward safely. She's given us a renewed sense of optimism and purpose, and for that I can't thank her enough.

Hatty is a total breath of fresh air when it comes to leadership coaching. Having tried a couple of other coaches over the years, it is her deep creative industry experience across departments, agencies and levels that gives her a unique perspective in my view. I've worked with her recently as I took on my COO role and the work we have done together has really helped shaped my leadership style, articulate my values, identify my work-ons and generally just help me grow to become a better all round leader. No topic is too big or too small. It's all important to her and translates into action. She is empathetic, tough, razor sharp and funny as hell. Every agency leader could do with a Hatty by their side - I highly recommend.

Hatty has a rare gift. She holds space with such care, wisdom and presence that growth feels both safe and inevitable. She meets you exactly where you are but never leaves you there, always guiding you forward with compassion and clarity. Her ability to reflect back where you’re at and where you could be is nothing short of magic. Her openness, approachability and professionalism is the perfect blend of warmth meets competence. She is truly one in a million - a coach, a mentor, and a deeply inspiring human being. If you have the chance to work with Hatty, take it. You will come away with tools and insights - yes, but also with a profoundly renewed sense of self.

I consider myself a bit of a cynic when it comes to coaching driven by a bad experience earlier in my career. However, coaching with Hatty has thoroughly removed any remaining doubt about the power of this work to lead to better outcomes. For me, Hatty’s uniqueness is her ability to combine practical application without micro-managing nor taking away the onus from the coachee. On top of that, she digs into the whys and wherefores without being vague or wishy washy. It’s a fine balancing act and Hatty pulls it off to perfection. Most importantly the impact on my day-to-day work has been obvious. Highly recommend.

Hatty has an extraordinarily powerful leadership ability. She shows consistently good judgement and is able to challenge people and circumstances with an insight and kindness that makes change happen. Her emotional intelligence combines with her training as a coach to make her a fantastic communicator and a brilliant facilitator. I have never been formally coached by Hatty, but I know that I have experienced the benefits of her coaching skills throughout our time in workshops together. I cannot recommend her highly enough: if you ever get the chance to work with her, take it. You'll be very glad you did.

I worked with Hatty as I interviewed for and moved into an interim CEO role. This time together was invaluable. Moving from being a senior manager to a CEO within the same organisation was at times a lonely transition - it meant a lot to have a space to be honest, reflect on what I was finding challenging and gain the tools needed. Hatty is a highly skilled coach and got the measure of me quickly! Through our work, we challenged my assumptions of what I 'should' be like in my new role and allowed me to define success for myself. Hatty's focus was as much on supporting me to identify my strengths and celebrate the wins, as it was on areas I needed to develop in. I would very much recommend working with Hatty!

Hatty has been a huge help to me since I started working with her a few months after becoming CEO of our agency. Having also worked in agencies before becoming a coach, she understands the unique challenges that leaders in this space face. The background work we did initially on the type of leader I wanted to be has directly impacted the corporate and cultural objectives and structures we have since implemented. I’m looking forward to continuing my work with her.
