Catherine has over 20 years' experience of consulting to organisations and individuals
on the human dimension of workplace life. Since 1997, she has specialised in coaching
senior executives and teams at Board and Director level. She has established a reputation
as a first-class practitioner in the field, enhanced by the quality of her small,
hand-picked team of highly-experienced coaches. In March 2007, Catherine welcomed
her close colleague Kate Lanz into partnership and Sandler Lanz was formed.
It is Catherine's powerful blend of psychological skills and business knowledge
that distinguishes her coaching. She has a striking ability to go straight to the
heart of an issue while creating a warm rapport with her clients. She brings clarity,
depth and real practical value to each session, providing a safe space in which
leadership thinking and practice can be challenged and explored. Catherine's aim
is always to enable clients to become significantly more effective, confident and
fulfilled in their business roles.
As part of this process Catherine makes flexible use of a range 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 is a trained and experienced psychological counsellor and has a doctorate
from Oxford University. She has published several articles and is writing a book
on Executive Coaching for the 'Coaching in Practice' series published by McGraw
Hill, part of Open University Press.
Catherine has worked at a number of world-class business-education and consulting
institutions. This has included teaching on programmes for international executives,
most notably at London Business School's Centre for Management Development since
1993, at Cambridge University's Judge Institute in the mid-1990s, at INSEAD since
2000 and more recently on the 'Coaching and Consulting for Change' programme run
jointly by Oxford University's Saïd Business School and HEC in Paris. She has
also worked as a consultant, teacher and PhD supervisor at the Tavistock Clinic
(which has an international reputation in the field of psychology).
Catherine regularly speaks at seminars and conferences on executive coaching and
leadership development, both in the UK and abroad. She delivers masterclasses in
coaching for fellow practitioners, HR directors and senior managers and is one of
the country's most experienced supervisors of executive coaches.
Catherine was invited to become a founding member of APECS (the Association for
Professional Executive Coaching & Supervision) when it was created in 2005 to set
standards for the executive coaching profession in Britain. She is also an invited
member of the WABC (Worldwide Association of Business Coaches), based in North America
and was a speaker at its 10th anniversary conference in Vancouver in May 2007. Recent
engagements include a keynote presentation at the CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personnel
Development) annual conference on coaching. A full list of her engagements is on
the Sandler Lanz website.
Since the beginning of the economic downturn, Catherine has focused her thinking
and practice on the critical issue of 'leading in turbulent times'. In particular,
she has addressed the psychological and emotional role of the leader during recession.
She has developed a model for leaders which outlines four specific behaviours that,
together, will maximise the morale, motivation and performance of the workforce
under stress. Catherine's ideas were featured in the
Financial Times on 24th March 2009.
The impact of Catherine's coaching was recently described by a Board Director 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 senior client commented that "...Catherine's coaching is insightful and
straightforward but delivered with sensitivity and soul. She blends real business
acumen with deep developmental skills. She is incredibly bright, and really commercial
and practical; this combination means that she helps you get to the nub of a problem
and helps you solve it."
Catherine's client list includes, among many others, ABN Amro, Barclays Bank, Barclays
Capital, BBC, BP, Cap Gemini, Ernst & Young, Herbert Smith, John Lewis Partnership,
Waitrose, Lehman Brothers, Lloyd's Register Rail, Masstock, Morgan Stanley, Societé
Générale, Syngenta, Vision Capital and WD-40. Clients in the not-for-profit sector
include several NHS Trusts, central government (OGC) and Save the Children UK.
