Katie is amazing! She’s hosted the Sunderland Better Health at Work Awards for 3 consecutive years and been fabulous every time. Funny, enthusiastic and relatable… the ideal person for our local Awards. As well as her brilliant delivery on the night, Katie has also been a pleasure to work with in the build up to our events. Nothing is ever too much trouble! I would recommend Katie to anyone.

Katie lead a talk at the Sunderland Wellness Festival held at the City Hall in 2024. With a diverse range of people attending the festival, Katie easily related to everyone in the room. She was engaging, interesting and delivered her talk with ease. She was very easy to contact and she offered a range of topics she was able to talk about. We can’t wait to have her back at another event in the future.

Creator of the Sunderland Wellness Festival
I have been running business networking events for fitness industry professionals for eight years during which time i have engaged approximately 40 speakers to present to our members.In my mind there, until yesterday, three ‘stand out’ speakers who have graced our stage,Phillip Mills, CEO of Les Mills Global, David Stalker, CEO at UK Active and Joe Townsend, Iron Man and double-amputee.
Katie presented to our members on Thursday 27th November 2014 and immediately demonstrated the natural traits only shown by a few professionals speakers/presenters. A blend of story telling,Powerful business tips and honesty made Katie’s session a joy to experience. She also used slides the way they should be used and she injected her presentation with humour without trying too hard.
I would highly recommend Katie as a speaker and i predict big things for her on global stage if yesterday is anything to go by.
Thanks for yesterday Katie, you were sensational.

Editor of Workout Magazine
Katie delivered the after-dinner speech at the Sunderland Echo business awards at the Stadium of Light. Not an easy gig when you’re in front of a city’s business community – of which you are part. Katie’s talk was warm, genuine, engaging, funny but most of all inspirational and poignant. She pitched her content perfectly and was more than happy to chat to people afterwards. A pleasure to work with.’
Joy Yates
Editorial Director, Johnston Press North East
Katie was an extremely competent host at our East Sussex Women in Business awards, accommodating and friendly was feedback from our guests. Very professional from start to finish, I would recommend and would certainly ask Katie to present at any future events.

Katie is an absolute star. She is lively and entertaining on stage, and delivers a powerful message from her own experience of being a very successful businesswoman. She knows how to wow an audience, and does it every time. I have no hesitation in recommending her.

I was fortunate to see Katie speak on the main stage of the Professional Speaking Associations Annual conference “MEGA” and to take part in a panel discussion. Both provided extraordinary insights into the world of an Entrepreneur in a way that was very real. The learning for anyone running a business was brilliantly communicated with the right level of humour, context and insight. I know that with just one or two of the key points I took away my business will be much stronger. I loved Katie’s style and professional approach, it’s truly inspiring. Thank you, Katie.
