Before The Good Busy, I felt stuck in meetings and emails. My biggest "aha" moment was realizing I could say no and protect my time. I freed up two afternoons for deep work. The idea of pausing has been a relief. Kate helps you turn ideas into action

I really enjoyed the Good Busy 2026 Planning Workshop! I had already reflected a lot on what I want 2026 to look like, but the workshop’s approach helped me take those ideas and make them far more granular and concrete. The exercises, structure, and guidance turned my vision into an actionable plan!

I have been a Good Busy student for over 2 years now, and there is a clear before and after in my life since Kate. She coaches with actionable and straightforward frameworks that you can apply for various scenarios. I look forward to her newsletter every Monday morning.

Loved how the 2026 Planning Workshop was structured; having time to pause, reflect, and think things through helped me gain real clarity on what’s next. Kate’s care and attention to detail came through in the workbook, it was so thoughtfully put together. Thank you Kate for allowing me to gain clarity for 2026, in the year, month, week format!

Highly recommend Kate program, to help reclaim your or your team’s time and re-focus on what truly matters. Kate encourages you to ask (yourself) effective questions; she offers great content, blending theory and very actionable steps which help make change sustainable. One month on, I lead with more clarity and intentionnality.

For the first time in months, I'm heading into the weekend feeling like I've had a good week. Not knowing what a good week looked life before, I ended up chasing everything and feel exhausted. Articulating what a good week looks like now has enabled me to make intentional decisions which has resulted in a dramatic increase in my energy and focus!

It was very insightful and energizing! I enjoyed the content and interactions during the workshop and walked away with valuable insights I can apply right away. I am using the 'effective goal test" to validate my goals and am reflecting what I need to stop, pause, continue, start or learn to get to my goals. Still some work to do, but I am off to a great start of 2025. Thanks Kate!

With Kate's guidance, I have been able to: - Streamline my daily and weekly schedule to make more time for the activities that are most important - Focus my goals to make them more obtainable and paced at the speed I need to go - Simplify work and life balance to reduce stress and find more joy in my tasks.

The workshop was a game-changer for me and my team. It helped us rethink productivity, both deeply personal and highly practical. Kate’s ability to listen, adapt, and tailor the workshop to our specific needs made all the difference. We walked away with tangible changes: less procrastination, more focus, and reclaimed time to think strategically.

If 80% of the job is knowing what you want and 20% is "how to", well Kate really helped me on both. She gave me practical tips on how to set up goals and ask better questions but more importantly I've added much more meaning and intention in my "work-life balance". I now prioritize my focus and energy rather than trying to master time-management.

I recently went on vacation and left my mobile and my laptop at home. "I will look into it in detail over the weekend" was also a very commen phrase you could hear me say. Working with Kate not only helped me understand and protect my key priorities in life but also to build a system that makes sure I can plan for completing my task in time.

As an ADDer, being productive and organized doesn't always come naturally to me. Kate has equipped me with productivity tips and helped me get clarity on my priorities and how to achieve them. I've never been so efficient in both professional and personal life.

Before discovering The Good Busy - I was not only stuck in doing tasks that weren't related to my growth but also not clear on how to effectively stop. My biggest "aha" was less is more, which is key for clarity on what to say yes and no to. Since the Reset, I am asking more questions that help me decide more slowly but with more confidence.

Kate has been a perfect guide on my journey towards professional reinvention. Our sessions provided ample food for thought to positively change my work and life. Her advice helps me stay 'good busy' instead of 'crazy-on-the-edge of burnout busy' I was used to.

The Good Busy is a much needed focus especially in this day and age where we a lot of us are packing our days. It is a practical, fact-based workshop delivered in an engaging way. Kate is great at animating groups even virtually and distilling a wealth of information from different perspectives into easily digestible points. Highly recommend.

Our coaching sessions challenged my thought process. Understanding how I think helped me uncover the why behind my decisions and next steps I needed to take. Kate’s heart for people and thirst for knowledge are real. She has changed my life and I’m always grateful.

Kate created a supportive environment and helped me tackle some challenges and uncover new strengths through practical tools, honest feedback, and thoughtful exercises. This program didn’t just improve my leadership skills - it changed my perspective. I highly recommend Kate

I can confidently say it has been a game-changer in optimizing my workflow. One of the immediate wins I experienced was in the realm of meeting planning. The course provided invaluable insights into crafting more purposeful and productive meetings, saving both time and energy. I now have a roadmap to identify and prioritize essential activities.

I was stuck in the overworked, overwhelmed and overcommitted cycle & something need to give. Things shifted for me when I realised what control I had & where I was self sabotaging. I loved that small meaningful changes really make a difference, unlike the 7 Habits course. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants and needs to make meaningful a change.

NSC Networks had the pleasure of hosting Kate for a session at our European HSE Forum. It definitely changed my perception of busyness and reframed productivity as a game of decisions. The Good Busy Framework provides a simple to use process for continuously evaluating and improving our productivity. The session concluded with a visual exercise that really helped tie all the concepts together and give you a starting point to reclaim your most valuable asset -> time. I would highly recommend Kate for any organization looking to inspire, motivate, and create a more efficient workplace.

Kate is a warm, knowledgeable and enthusiastic productivity coach. She talks a lot of sense! I learned very useful strategies from her to handle my workload more efficiently.

I had the pleasure of hosting Kate as part of a leadership podcast series to speak about productivity. She was a brilliant guest - insightful, clear, and practical. Those in attendance found it to be a hugely beneficial session and were speaking about for weeks afterwards. It was a delight to work with Kate and I hope to do so again in the future.

The Good Busy Reset course content was well-organized and presented in a clear and engaging manner. The small group format was highly interactive, and Kate's insights are superb. Highly recommend!

I give Kate all the stars possible! The class was priceless. I came for productivity but I am taking away more treasures with me also for my personal life. The content offered is really engaging and you can put it to use / action immediately. In the coaching sessions with her you feel really heard. Kate provides the knowledge to dive into important questions to make you grow. I recommend Kate's work to everyone who is looking to make an impact in their lives, including their professional career. Thank you Kate!

Thanks for the wonderful session, all participants truly appreciate them a lot! Always excellent feedback on your talks such as "Thanks for the great session", "Awesome presentation, thanks for sharing Kate😊", "Great, practical insights! Thanks!!", "Thanks Kate, wonderful sharing", "Very insightful, Thank you Kate", "Thanks you for your awesome sharing :)", "Thank you Kate for sharing the awesome perspectives", "Thank you for your insights, Kate. I learned a lot from your session".

I highly recommend Kate as a speaker and presenter. She recently delivered a series on boosting productivity on the Give Learn Platform, and our audience loved it. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with 92% rating the overall quality of her presentations as excellent and 84% finding her resources and materials extremely useful. Attendees rated the sessions with an average quality score of 88%. Kate's expertise and engaging delivery made a significant impact, and we look forward to having her back soon!

Kate delivered a program on productivity on Give Learn and we got great feedback on the program. We look forward to working with her in the future.

Kate's workshop has helped our team improve our "standard work" on productivity. The quality of the materials is excellent - even productivity "pros" in the team have learned something new. It has been great to see the full engagement of everyone in teh team. Thanks to Kate for her authentic and passionate facilitation – it’s enabled a good and honest discussion about how to put her suggestions into practice in our day-to-day work. Kate has experience in the corporate world, so that there hasn’t been any question of her credibility at any point. Credibility has often been an issue with other external speakers who’ve either been too academic or claiming to be someone they clearly didn’t have enough expertise to back up.

The Good Busy Reset was a game-changer. In just five sessions, I reduced procrastination, regained control over my time, and even cleared my Fridays to focus on team growth, vision, and strategy – instead of just ticking off to-do’s. Kate’s simple, personal framework made everything click. If you're into smart personal growth, this program – or at the very least the good busy newsletter – is a must. If I had to describe it in one word? Eureka!
