WORK LIFE BALANCE
WORKSHOPS
An
organisation’s productivity and profitability is largely dependent
upon the mental, physical and emotional wellbeing of its workforce.
Most people rank work life balance as highly important when seeking
a new role. Whilst many organisations are now focused on creating
more flexible workplaces, research tells us we still have a long way
to go in assisting people to achieve the balance they desire.

importance of maintaining one’s health, both mentally and
physically. Kate’s warm and understanding nature combined with her
passion and enthusiasm for these topics has ensured a continued
successful program for our employees.' Cliodhna Coughlan, HR

‘Kate, just a note to say a big thank you for the talk last
night. The feedback was very positive and I think that we all took
something away from it. Your style is great, with just the right
balance of relaxed delivery without diminishing the importance of
the material, and engaged the group throughout. I hope we can work
together in the future.’ Brian Peters, Competency
Executive, Terra Firma
'Thank you for a very interesting and informative session you
conducted at CitiPower/Powercor today. Work life balance sometimes
seems a term that is quite hard to define, but you prompted lots of
thought-starters for me. One thing I found vital - recognition that
the balance can and does change frequently, depending on issues that
are happening in either my work or private life. I hadn't truly
realised that before now. Thank you for putting so much of yourself
into the presentation - it makes it so much more interesting.' Executive
Assistant to General Manager Human Resources & Corporate Affairs,
Powercor/CitiPower
'Whether speaking one on one with clients or addressing large
audiences, Kate speaks eloquently and with warmth, bringing
simplicity to some of life’s most daunting questions. Earlier this
year, Kate addressed a Public Relations Institute of Australia event
on the subject of career rejuvenation. Nearly six months later, I
still have total recall of her main message which I have shared
enthusiastically with friends and colleagues alike. Her personal
reflections, interspersed with the wisdom of professional practice
as a career coach were delivered in a way that the audience related
to easily, enabling us to implement real change in our lives.'
