Testimonials
In their words
Leaders, teams and individuals I've worked with, at organisations like Purple, Voicescape, Cisco, Netflix, Propellernet and Searchland.
“Kerry is the best coach I have come across. My coaching time quickly became my favourite part of the month – I learnt so much about myself. My confidence and belief in myself has soared. I feel able to give feedback to my peers and line manager clearly and openly, expressing the best way to work with me and reach compromises. My focus has increased and I am able to see tasks through fully, thinking clearly to resolution. The results are amazing.”
Heather Robinson-WynneVP Customer Support, Purple.ai“When I first came to you I was feeling a bit stuck and unsure of my next steps. It was important to me to work with someone I liked. I could really feel that your optimism for me was genuine. Within one month I had a new job! I had taken control, it was hard, but it was also fun. It has helped me reframe things, see new perspectives, focus on new behaviours, and feel positive about myself. It felt really therapeutic, having the space to explore everything in a safe way.”
Katherine HannahCisco Global Sustainability Lead“We have worked with Kerry for over a year now. The team have loved the coaching sessions with Kerry, they have found it inspiring. She has delivered both group and 121 coaching across CSM, Marketing, Account Management and Sales. It has driven a new culture of people truly believing that they can take ownership of their personal and professional development. I have seen increased goal setting, goal achievement and a lift in morale and motivation. The team recommend coaching wholeheartedly to their colleagues.”
Bill WilliamsChief Revenue Officer, Voicescape“At first I admit that I was sceptical about having a full time coach in our mid-sized organisation. As a finance and operations person, I am naturally rational and questioning and I wasn’t convinced of the value that she could add. Having had Kerry as my coach for over a year, I am a complete coaching convert and agree with Bill Gates when he says ‘Everybody should have a coach’. Coaching has helped me to generate better balance and achieve my goals in my life. I highly recommend her to any other business considering bringing coaching in, it’s been game changing for individuals and teams at Purple.”
Pete LeeChief Operating Officer, Purple“The feedback from coaching across the business and for Kerry as an individual has been spectacular. We have been able to improve the effectiveness of people in their roles. Those same people have improved their personal lives too. Overall it has been a fantastic outcome for the people and the company.”
Gavin WheeldonCEO, Purple““I provide Insight personality profiling coaching services to Netflix. I was asked to work with a new Netflix team who wanted to work on ‘Future Visioning’, with a team Digital Vision board as their output. I thought of Kerry and reached out to see if she could help. We worked together to create a fun & creative plan for the day, which we then delivered in person at the Netflix London offices. We had a lot of fun working together! She was creative, proactive, engaging, collaborative and most of all, professional and easy to work with. Our clients were delighted with the results and the output.””

Daniela O'BrienGeneral Counsel Consultant Solicitor, Woodstock Legal ServicesThis has been amazing, mind blowing. I’ve now realised how easily you can shift your perspective. Almost like I have found access to some inner truth! It makes so much sense. Everyone should have coaching. Children should get it at school. It helps you develop as a person.
Suzy JespersenSustainability Manager at Moorhouse ConsultingHaving set up Radics Consulting pretty much overnight, developing from a sole trader to a VAT registered Ltd company in just 3 years, and in uncertain times, I decided I could benefit from some bespoke business coaching. In just 3 months, Kerry has really helped me reset my business goals and get rid of those lingering actions on my to-do list and pervasive thoughts in my head. This has freed me up to focus my energy on developing Radics Consulting's 3 year business plan and to continue helping my great clients deliver their genuinely exciting projects. I have now recommended Kerry to two of my peers who are now also benefiting from her knowledge and expertise.
Beckie JoyceCEO & Founder, Radics ConsultingIt took me a lot of courage to try coaching, and I’m really grateful that I did. Coaching has given me a fresh perspective on how I think, and what I perceive as challenges. It’s given me more self-belief. I’ve become more productive in my daily habits. Thank you for everything Kerry – I will be back for more!
Jon FoxleyDKloud Salesforce ConsultantThe coaching couldn’t have come at a better time. We worked on a lot of things, including the importance of finding and following my purpose. The changes I’ve made have been so positive, it has felt transformational. I want to thank you for making this experience so comfortable, honest and productive. I wasn’t sure what to expect but you immediately put me at ease. I will enjoy watching as you go forward and help many others find more contentment and fulfilment in their lives!
Neil JonesRegional Sales Manager, CiscoOver the years I've been lucky enough to have a good network of people to support my career and give me good advice. I spent some time with Kerry,- a fantastic business coach whom I've known since her time with a tech company called Purple AI. We looked at what my challenges are, where I want to be and what's holding me back and I gained so much value from it. If you have any thoughts on the direction of your role or need guidance, I'd highly recommend getting in touch with Kerry.
Chris MarshCEO & Founder, Agents OfInitially I was sceptical that I would talk to you for an hour, it would make me feel good and it wouldn’t DO anything. It hasn’t been like that at all! It has been very purpose driven. I appreciate that you took the time and really understood what’s important to me. That allowed me to get the most out of these sessions. I’ve been able to take actions away that I could work on immediately and then continue to work on day to day – which has been incredibly valuable. My personal and professional life are more in balance. My sales pipeline is now where I wanted it to be. I feel calmer, more effective and more focused.
Richard JacksonClient Director, RenovotecIt’s given me the confidence and freedom to be more assertive in asking for what I need and the tools to structure my personal life in a way that allows me to feel less stressed and more capable all round. Kerry is an absolute star, this is what she was born to do.
Helen CaddockConsultancy Services Lead EMEA and APAC, Purple.aiCoaching has had a massive impact on me and my life in only ten weeks! It really has been transformational for me. You gave me the space that I didn’t even know I needed, and your openness, perceptivity and guidance was so skilful. I feel so much more relaxed and confident, more able to be there for other people around me. I know that everything really is going to be OK. I fully embraced the coaching process and now - I am reaping the benefits.
Lewis MurrayAccount Manager, Voicescape, UKThere are some things that I don't always want to address. So I feel proud of myself for being so open and really giving the coaching 100% commitment. I honestly think I am a better person, as a result of the coaching. I feel more in control and I have improved every part of my life. I have given myself the ability to be a better husband, dad, boss, friend and coach. You helped me find the answers within myself - and - you have given me the tools to become happier.
Peter HudsonSales Director, Voicescape, UKWhen I first came to you I was feeling a bit stuck and unsure of my next steps. It was important to me to work with someone I liked.

Katherine HannahCisco Global Sustainability LeadDuring the coaching there was a really positive shift for me. I feel like the old me, back to my best self. At first, I felt uncomfortable about it, however it was much easier than I thought it would be. I made small changes that added up to a big difference. I’ve enjoyed improvements in my work, social life and fitness. I’m feeling more focused and motivated. I am clearer in my thinking – I don’t overthink or let stuff get to me. It’s helped me exceed my personal and professional targets and I’m signing up for more!
Ste LawrenceBusiness Development Manager, VoicescapeWorking with Kerry has changed how I feel about myself and what I'm capable of in a hugely positive way. I have a far better understanding of things that were holding me back and how to overcome them. I also know that I will choose to work with Kerry again to build on the progress we've already made.
Chloe RichardsOwner & Founder of the Career CheerleaderThe coaching has brought me closer to understanding my emotions properly and learning how to deal with them in the healthiest way. Also understanding how not dealing with things impacts my life. I’ve let a lot of old stuff go. I am hugely grateful to have had the opportunity for this coaching and could not be more thankful for Kerry’s help. It came at a really good time for me – this was the push I needed to begin a self-improvement/understanding journey.
Emily DaviesCustomer Success Lead, CMAP SoftwareBeing an Aussie male, I don’t ask for or need help! Then came all change … I reached burn out, nearly destroyed my life. I had coaching that got me through but my coach was not personable, didn’t really listen and I didn’t feel they had my well-being at heart. Then I was recommended to Kerry. She is the total opposite, an amazing coach and when all is said and done a really nice, patient and sensitive listener. I feel more than happy to open up to Kerry and she seems to have this power of questions / listening that makes me really think about things and respond without choosing my words, she extracts honest and heartfelt answers from me. Sessions with Kerry are like a chat with a friend who you really trust and know won't judge you and just wants to see you progress and grow.
Ed QuigleyBusiness Development Manager, INEOS, Geneva, SwitzerlandI’m more confident and better at asking for feedback. Everyone should try coaching, it changes people for the good. People are lucky to have Kerry as a coach!
Joseph CarusoSenior Partner Manager, Inriver, Ohio US“Coaching is an incredible process, the essential part being seeing yourself and facing anything negative, the negative things get turned into opportunities for positive change. It helped me to stop listening to my negative voice and improved my life personally and professionally. I have been changed – I am lighter, more peaceful, more confident, aligned and more focused. Thank you for this time Kerry, I will always value it very much.
Oscar Javier Servin PelayoSenior Account Manager, Double Verify, Mexico CityIt allows you to dig deep and uncover the good and bad, and work on the good. It enabled me to look inwards and truly identify with my purpose, what I want for myself, and what I want to accomplish for those around me. I would recommend coaching sessions with Kerry any day, she is meant for this! I enjoyed my sessions thoroughly, thank you Kerry!
Christina KiplockConsultancy Services Lead Americas, Purple.ai, New York, US10/10 for impact! I opened my mind and faced some deep rooted fears. It helped me to spend more time being focussed, overcoming negative thoughts. I have been working on my goals and I have stopped making excuses. Coaching is an opportunity for you to focus on what’s important, and gain fulfilment today.
Sophie HendersonSales Operations Manager, Purple.aiCoaching was transformative because it kept me accountable. It helped me feel unstuck and to get to a place where I finally feel I can move forward. Coaching has impacted my entire life. Because I have learned tools and a sense of power in my personal life this transfers to all aspects of my life including work. I feel committed again, less anxious and more dedicated to work. What I didn’t understand is how much the lack of control and satisfaction in my life impacted my work. It was unexpected and so amazing to bring everything full circle, and I found a sense of happiness and clarity both personally and professionally.
Shelley HaasVP of Solutions Delivery, Purple.ai, Cleveland Ohio USI am more confident in myself. I don’t let my upsets or hindrances define me negatively, nor do I let them take control of my life. Kerry enabled me in seeing sensible ways to reframe my mind, be kinder to myself, and how to process feelings more effectively. All of this has made me feel more self-assured because I am better equipped to deal with my lows, and I now know how to build a path to my highs.
Visha KhanPartner Success Manager, Purple.ai, New York, USCoaching is a great way to unload anything from your chest and remove any mental blockers that you’ve created for yourself. It’s incredibly cathartic and just the act of talking to Kerry removes a lot of stress. It’s made me feel more confident and empowered to make decisions and take action. It has helped remove mental blockers which now they’re out the way enable me to be more productive. Being happier at work makes me happier at home.

Bill WilliamsChief Revenue Officer, VoicescapeWhen Voicescape introduced us to Kerry's coaching, both 121 and with groups, I was immediately on board. The results which I have experienced for myself have been nothing short of life-changing. It's also so great to see how other people in the team receiving coaching has improved collaboration in the business. Motivation and professionalism is up significantly, making for a better work environment, and ultimately even better outcomes for our clients.
I’m proud of pushing myself out of my comfort zone in order to have coaching with you. I realised quickly what was holding me back and what I wanted to work on, thanks to your support. I realise now that I’ve got to act if I want change, it’s not enough just to wish for it! Taking small steps has really helped. I’m excited to now use everything that I have learnt, moving forwards. Thank you.
Joanne FaircloughCustomer Success Manager, VoicescapeKerry creates a fantastically warm environment and through that safe space, shares thoughtful and knowledgeable advice. The coaching encouraged us all to be open about the challenges we face, which helped build a better understanding of how we can work together as a team, and where we can best support each other.

Overall it has been a fantastic outcome for the people and the company.
Gavin WheeldonCEO, PurpleKerry is an absolute pleasure and a true professional to work with, I have received both 1:1 coaching as well as team coaching as part of Purple's leadership team. Through 1:1 coaching Kerry helped me to clarify my purpose both personally and professionally whilst improving my confidence and self belief. The leadership team coaching sessions resulted in some extremely positive steps to improve team dynamics and ways of working with the wider executive team.
Helen StonehouseVP Business Operations, PurpleKerry has delivered 1:1 coaching across a range of roles at Purple, including the executive team as well as leaders and individuals at all levels in the business. She has also coached teams and delivered mass-coaching at company-wide events, both of which have been very well received. She is highly intuitive and able to quickly build rapport to enable her coachees to work through serious professional and personal challenges, improving individual effectiveness, confidence and wellbeing.
Esther ParkPeople Director, PurpleI worked directly with Kerry as she moved from a Director role into her current role as a Coach. Coaching was a natural choice for her - she puts so much energy and effort into it and truly cares about achieving results. It's brilliant to see the results she's achieved at Purple coaching individuals, executives and teams. She creates a very safe, creative space for her coachees and clearly cares deeply about empowering others.

Julie RobinsonFruitful DevelopmentsKerry has been transformative for our team. She’s helped people to unpick problems and to see the bigger picture. She has worked collaboratively towards shaping their future around the life, values and the long term goals that they want, rather than being stuck in the day-to-day ‘to do’. And she manages to do this all with empathy, kindness and fun – I can’t rate Kerry highly enough.
Jo HumphreysPeople and Operations, PropellernetKerry was so understanding and helped teach me strategies that I can take into all aspects of my life. She has helped me to introduce healthier habits into both my work and personal life. I found these sessions invaluable and feel so fortunate to have been able to have experienced them. I am genuinely so grateful, I would recommend this coaching to anyone.
Jas BradleySenior Digital PR Executive, PropellernetThe feedback we received was excellent. It was really great to have Kerry as a part of our L&D offering at the College.
Claire ShakespeareLearning and Development Specialist, Bradford CollegeAs someone who is naturally a bit sceptical, I knew coaching was going to feel uncomfortable at times. But Kerry made the whole journey feel easy, pain free and genuinely worthwhile. She guides you, safely but firmly, through your own process of self reflection in a way only a truly talented coach can. After such a positive experience working with Kerry 1:1, I later invited her to facilitate a one day workshop for the managers at our Brighton HQ: Leading People and Performance with Confidence. The day was a huge success. Kerry created an open, engaging environment where the group could explore some of the more challenging aspects of managing performance, alongside a really valuable live problem solving session.
Jenny CarpenterOffice and People Manager, Pour MoiAs the Head of People for a supply chain tech ‘scale up’, I was very keen to find out what I could learn from obtaining a free ‘Health Check’ with Kerry. It was so good to have an external sounding board and I am delighted to have come away with so many thoughts, ideas and action points. I found working with Kerry to be a lot of fun and super helpful. I gained support and clarity in equal measure! I recommend going through the Health Check process to any other People Leaders.
Emma LawsonHead of People, Orderly (B Corp)I was interested to find out what I could learn from obtaining a ‘Health Check’ with Kerry on the People side of our business. I found the process to be engaging and fruitful. It was great to come away with a personal action plan and a proposal for how to move forward. I found working with Kerry to be insightful and impactful. I highly recommend the process to any other People Directors out there. It’s quick, simple and was a real return on investment of my time. In fact, I’ve subsequently hired Kerry as my coach.
Paul FittonPartner & People Leader, McHale&CoMy health check with Kerry was one of the best professional decisions I made this year. It was great to chat through all things 'people', and have another HR pro to soundboard with. Kerry's coaching style meant that in no time at all we'd organised my messy thoughts into a structured plan with actions and steps that I'm looking forward to executing on. Sometimes the best thing you can do is talk to a friendly face who gets it. Thank you Kerry!
Thank you so much for your time and support on this. It's been fantastic working with you on this programme for our new people leaders. The sessions were great, led openly and honestly.
