About Kate……
International Speaker, trainer & consultant
Known for her energy, drive, passion and vision Kate consistently inspires
her audiences.
You will love the way in which she relates her life experiences engaging you
in the drama and drawing out the practical relationships to the business world.
From a farming upbringing in rural Lincolnshire, Kate has moved into the international
business world and uses her down to earth attitude in dealing with life's challenges
and encourages you to do the same.
As a coach Kate's approach is to listen to your language & encourage
and challenge you to think about the way you approach things. This could
be in business or personal - her style is informal and relaxed enabling
you to get the most from the one to one sessions. Much of Kate's coaching
is by telephone, so it doesn't matter which part of the country you live
in.
"You have been a catalyst for me"
" I now think about what I say & how I come across in meetings. It's made a great difference - thank you"
" I am amazed, I didn't think coaching was for me, but my company wanted
me to try it. You are so easy to talk to & I have really benefited from our
discussions"
Kate is available to facilitate meetings, or conference breakout groups.
Being both direct and constructive, people benefit from the balance of
encouragement and also go away with knowledge of how they come across
and some food for thought. Reports for the company on the facilitation
are also available if required.
Described as supportive, clear and concise, participants benefit from
Kate's relaxed style. Yet bear in mind, she is not one to let difficult
situations go unchallenged!
Kate Atkin is a highly skilled professional speaker and consultant.
Successfully running her own business - Aspire 2 - for the last
three years Kate has experience in both the public and private sector,
and also with both service and manufacturing industries.

Networking - Is it real or just a buzz word?
Having once been described as the "ultimate networker" Kate
lets you into her approach to networking and allows you to discover
her secrets to see if they will work for you too.
True or False - Are your beliefs working
for you?
From an early age Kate, like everyone else, accepted certain
beliefs from other people. Over the years she has learnt to
distinguish which
ones are still valid and challenge those that are no longer helpful.
In her presentation Kate encourages you to step down the same road
of self-discovery.
Prior to running her own business as Aspire 2, Kate was a training
consultant with Barclays Bank plc. She covers a wide variety of management
skills subjects
on her training courses, but says all of them have a link in some way,
shape or form to communication skills.
" I see communication, whether
it is between people or internal, as the key to solving many of the business
and personal issues people bring to me."

skills in the training room to present lively courses which keep the
interests
of participants high.
