What clients say:
“Katy ran a session for our Women’s ERG which was engaging, relevant and interactive for a team spanned across multiple continents and timezones! In a one hour session we covered rich content with power practices to apply to our day to day to help us thrive. Katy left us inspired and energised for more, thank you!”
“We wanted to explore ways of finding joy at work and how to build a culture of belonging. Katy delivered a high energy and interactive session that was just what we needed. She worked with us to tailor a presentation that made people think and ask hard questions of themselves and the role they can play unlocking joy and belonging for themselves and their team members. Thank you Katy!”
““Katy has been a great support to our Global Inclusion Council in the way that she has reviewed our various DEI strategies and through her collaborative style, challenged us to consider fresh ideas which will enable the business to move to the next level of DEI maturity and ultimately deliver better all round business results. Thank for all your support Katy.””
“Katy was part of an expert panel for a recent DEI Webinar we ran, which discussed the challenges of implementing a DEI strategy for an international workforce.
Katy’s insights and advice demonstrated her in-depth knowledge of not only the subject matter but also of how to best apply it and influence change within a large complex organisation.
Katy was also extremely helpful in helping us develop the structure and content of the Webinar.
I highly recommend Katy as an expert in this field and someone who makes collaborating very easy to do.”
“Katy Murray empowered the Woman Up audience with her wonderfully interactive session on how we can all be changemakers. Katy bought energy and heart to discussions on leadership that really resonated with the women in the room. We stepped in and out of our comfort zones as we talked to women we had never met about how we are chipping away at the ‘wall’! We’d recommend Katy’s book, Change Makers and we look forward to working with her again soon.”
“Katy facilitated a session on ‘leading out of who you are’ at our Fresh Expressions Day. She led an excellent and engaging session pitched well to our audience. She was able to draw on and explain research and concepts in an accessible but meaningful way, without losing focus of the practical applications.”
“From start to finish I found Katy really easy to work with. She was really supportive in helping us to scope our International Women’s Day staff event so that it was tailored for our audience and our aims for the session.
Katy offered several suggestions as to how we could run the event and we were able to agree together how it would work best – communication was quick, clear and friendly throughout.
On the day itself, Katy was a great facilitator and host - she was warm, insightful, made contributors feel at ease and brought a real sense of energy to the session. We have had lots of staff come back with really positive feedback on Katy’s facilitation and the session overall. Thanks Katy!”
- Manus Cross, Plan International UK
“Katy was a fantastic guest speaker and facilitator.
She brought our virtual room to life, with more participation from colleagues that we’ve ever seen.
The engagement, enjoyment and reflection was palpable, and people continue to talk about the session and reflect on the learning weeks on.
A real catalyst for change.”
“Katy ran a session for my women’s community for International Women’s Day on the theme of #breakingthebias in our sector. Katy was engaging as a host and gave us all food for thought and ideas to take forward within our businesses, I can’t wait to read her book!”
- Charlotte Wood, Empowered
“MINDBLOWN! Katy created a space where everyone had permission to share their challenges (in business and in life) and express their feelings. There’s no other way to describe the morning than to use the word INSPIRATIONAL. It’s one thing to follow someone online and to watch their videos, but its a whole other experience to be with them in the room .... the room was full of energy, trust, focus and true connection. A huge thank you to Katy for being utterly inspirational and for creating that space.”
— Lara Sheldrake, Founder and Director, Found and Flourish
