Catherine has nearly 20 years' experience of consulting to organisations and individuals as an expert in the human dimension of workplace life. She has worked extensively in the field of leadership development, group dynamics and the management of organisational change and conflict.
Since 1997, when she founded Sandler Consulting, Catherine has specialised in coaching senior executives and top teams, primarily at Board and Director level. She has established a reputation as a first-class executive coach within the business sector and a leading practitioner in the field.
Catherine's coaching practice has grown rapidly via client recommendation and she has built a small hand-picked team of highly-experienced coaches. Together they offer individual and team coaching across a wide range of organisations. In March 2007, Catherine was delighted to welcome her close colleague Kate Lanz into partnership and Sandler Lanz was formed.
Catherine speaks regularly at seminars and conferences on executive coaching, both in the UK and abroad. She designs and delivers masterclasses in coaching for fellow practitioners, HR directors and senior managers and is among the country's most experienced supervisors of executive coaches.
Catherine has worked as coach, consultant, tutor and lecturer at a number of leading business-education and consulting institutions. She has taught on a wide range of programmes for international executives, most notably at London Business School's Centre for Management Development since 1993, at INSEAD since 2000 and more recently on the Coaching and Consulting for Change programme run jointly by HEC and Oxford University's Saïd Business School.
She has also worked in different capacities over the years with the Tavistock Clinic (which has a worldwide reputation in the field of psychological thinking and practice). These include associate consultant at the Tavistock Consultancy Service, tutor on the Clinic's Masters in Organisational Consultancy and supervisor on the new PhD programme. Other educational roles include tutoring MBA students in management practice at the Judge Institute, Cambridge University.
Catherine is a trained and experienced psychological counsellor (with a diploma from the Department of Counselling & Psychotherapy, Regent's College, London). She has a doctorate from Oxford University.
Catherine combines psychological skills with extensive business knowledge to bring special qualities to her coaching. She brings clarity, depth and real practical value to each session. She has an unusual ability to go straight to the heart of an issue while creating a warm rapport with her clients. This enables her to offer them a safe space in which their leadership thinking and practice can be challenged and explored. Her aim is always to help clients become significantly more effective, confident and satisfied in delivering their business tasks.
As part of this process Catherine makes use of a number of developmental tools designed to increase self-awareness and 'emotional intelligence'. In particular she is a specialist in the use of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI ®) and 360 degree feedback.
Catherine was invited to become a founding member (in both Coach and Supervisor categories) of the Association for Professional Executive Coaching and Supervision (APECS) which was launched in 2005 to set standards for the executive coaching profession in Britain. She is also an invited member of WABC (Worldwide Association of Business Coaches), based in North America. Catherine was a speaker at its 10th Anniversary Conference in Vancouver in May 2007 and has been invited to contribute to several other coaching conferences and programmes as speaker or visiting faculty during 2008, both in the UK and abroad.
The impact of Catherine's coaching was recently described by a longstanding CEO as "...an invaluable support. Catherine has a formidable intellect, and is also a very good judge of people. She clearly has a great range and depth of experience that she can draw on to help those she is coaching."
Another Board Director client confirmed that she had "...benefited greatly from Catherine's expertise, her professionalism, and her ability to help with specific situations and issues, as well as with more fundamental skills development."
Catherine's client list includes, among others, ABN Amro, Barclays Bank, Barclays Capital, BP, Cap Gemini, Ernst & Young, GlaxoSmithKline, Herbert Smith, HSBC, John Lewis Partnership, Waitrose, Lehman Brothers, Lloyds Register Rail, Lutron, Masstock, Morgan Stanley, Societé Générale, Syngenta and WD-40 among many others. Clients in the not-for-profit sector include the Metropolitan Police, NHS, central government (OGC) and Save the Children UK.
