Working with leaders
The organisations I work with are ready to lead differently and sustainably. To create cultures where professional excellence and human wholeness aren’t in opposition. They decide that leaving millions on the table while burning out their best people isn’t acceptable!
I work with senior leaders in law and consulting firms.
Two decades of leadership development work, Big Four consulting background, Master’s research on maternal transitions in professional services.
Most leadership development follows a familiar path: frameworks, competencies, and behaviours to model.
The Other Way Method starts with curiosity. Listening to what’s happening to you, your teams, the patterns beneath the performance issues.
The challenges you’re facing
- Brilliant people performing at 60% because they’re exhausted.
- A culture where people learn to hide their humanity to survive.
- Leaders leaving for competitors who see them as whole people.
- Teams dividing under pressure nobody’s naming.
- Maternity returners and those navigating menopause leaving unheard.
Why this work matters
You already know something isn’t working. However, not addressing it is stressful for you and your team feels it.
The research is clear: chronic stress degrades decision-making, lowers work quality, damages relationships and not just at work, everywhere.
The firms willing to lead differently see measurable results: improved productivity, better retention, stronger performance. Because professional excellence doesn’t require sacrificing wholeness.
What changes?
Leaders I work with see improvements in their relationships at home and work. Productivity increases in themselves, and their teams and new opportunities arise with clients.
“Kate, I’ve really enjoyed the experience of working with you. Out of every executive coach I’ve had, I feel most comfortable with you. Your background and experience, including your consulting work has been a perfect fit for the situation I’ve found myself in. Your style and approach have been exactly what I’ve needed. You’ve also recognised that both home and work life play a role in helping me be my best, which has been extremely beneficial during the changes I’ve experienced over the last six months. The joint sessions with my boss have also been fruitful for us. Overall, the experience has been phenomenal.”

How I work with leaders
One-to-one coaching
Working on your specific leadership challenges:
- Adapting your leadership to what’s actually needed.
- Having difficult conversations that create clarity.
- Building sustainable ways of working that feel whole.
- Leading differently when the pressure intensifies.
- Leading a team to develop and thrive.
Teams and groups
Breaking the control cycle masterclass
Understanding what drives exhaustion and how it sabotages decisions. Leaders leave with their personal anchor points for leading differently, plus six months of ongoing one-to-one support.
Supporting leaders through transition
Collaborating with leaders to help you adapt and respond to team members on parental leave and flexible working. Making it work for everyone.
Team development
Addressing unspoken tensions, everyday ways of working, team harmony and trust. Creating space for what hasn’t been said.
The Other Way Method here means starting with curiosity. What’s happening? What’s needed? What would shift if we created space for honesty?

Let’s talk about what sustainable leadership could look like in your context.
The first conversation is informal where we’ll discuss what you’re facing and whether this approach fits.
