Dear [your manager’s name],

I’ve discovered Katy Murray’s Change Makers Collective, a resource dedicated to equipping women to step up in leadership without burning out.

I’d love to participate [add personal reason why]. The Collective runs each month and we can book May- July 2024, or until the end of the year. My preference would be…  

I think this will be an excellent opportunity for me to deepen my personal resilience, elevate my leadership skills and network with like-minded women in similar leadership roles and experiencing similar challenges.

In addition to strengthening my leadership and resilience I’ll also learn skills to maintain my healthy habits, avoid overwhelm and burnout, which will help me sustain my leadership. [You can talk about your organisation’s commitment to supporting women leaders and/ or to enabling positive mental health and wellbeing.]

Katy Murray is a leadership coach with 20+ years experience across 35 countries and coaching 1000s of leaders. She also consults in the specialist areas of organisational culture, equity diversity and inclusion.

[If you’ve worked with Katy before] I’ve worked with Katy Murray before and found that [add benefits/ impact you experienced.]

I’m excited to bring what I learn back to [name of your organisation/ team].

For example, I’d be happy to [add e.g. share what I’ve learned with the team/ write a blog post about my learning/ hold a lunch and learn..]

Here’s a breakdown of the cost and time commitment for the full 3 months:

  • Fees: £450 +VAT  

  • The time required is 4 hours per month and it’s self led 

  • We can pay via invoice or via the website https://www.katycatalyst.com/shop/change-makers-collective-org

    I appreciate your support in resourcing me to stretch and grow, and I’m confident that what I experience inside Change Makers Collective will enable me to be an even stronger leader at work.

    Thank you for considering this investment and I look forward to discussing with you [when and where]
