About Catherine Dudmesh Coaching

My Role

As an executive coach I work with private individuals and companies to enable people to fulfil their potential in the workplace and to be successful in their job. My role is to motivate and support individuals to clarify their personal objectives, reach for challenging goals and take the action necessary to move forward to achieve their personal and professional aspirations.

As a trainer, I specialise in developing coaching skills within organisations. My role is to share my experience and tried and tested techniques in coaching for performance with delegates so that they can unlock the potential of their people.

My Credentials

Prior to becoming a coach, I worked in the corporate environment at senior and board level in the marketing communications sector with a focus on customer satisfaction and client servicing. I have worked as a Client Services Director, HR Director and just prior to becoming a coach, I spent six years as a Managing Director. I qualified as a coach with the Coaching Academy and I am also a Practitioner in NLP and I use these techniques to build rapport with my clients and to build effective communication strategies.

It is the combination of my corporate experience and coaching experience that gives me the confidence to know that I can make a real impact in developing the performance of people in businesses.

I am well equipped to understand the challenges for people in today's business environment from the day-to-day realities to the long-term strategic view. This is critical when it comes to establishing empathy and building a rapport with the client - the success of coaching depends very much on the client/coach fit. The relationship between the client and me as the coach is a partnership, working together to achieve the client's long-term goals. Trust is the essential ingredient in any partnership and coaching is no different.

My Philosophy

I believe that we all have the innate skills and resources we need to achieve our goals. Sometimes it is difficult to tap into these resources as the flow is blocked by barriers and obstacles we hardly know are there. The power of the human brain is phenomenal and given the right motivation, clarity and energy, we can achieve our aspirations. It is simply a matter of finding the key to unlock that power - and I believe my coaching provides that key.

I value professionalism, respect and integrity and my style is warm, humorous and practical. Overall, my objective is to see my clients succeed.

"When Jonathon Seagull joined the Flock on the beach, it was full night. He was dizzy and terribly tired. Yet in delight he flew a loop to landing, with a snap roll just before touchdown. When they hear of it, he thought, of the Breakthrough, they'll be wild with joy. How much more there is to living! Instead of drab slogging forth and back to the fishing boats, there's a reason to life! We can lift ourselves out of ignorance, we can find ourselves creatures of excellence and intelligence and skill. We can be free! We can learn to fly!". An extract from Jonathon Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach
