I’m Kate, founder of People Efficient and creator of impACT Coaching & Training. I help organisations deal with the messy, human side of work - the restructures, the conflict, the tough conversations - and make it manageable, meaningful, and fair.

Over the years, I’ve led complex transformation projects that have involved everything from large-scale restructures and TUPE transfers to audits, grievances and organisational redesign. I’ve supported clients in gaming, tech, healthcare, education, and the charity sector, working behind the scenes to reduce risk and bring calm to chaos - always with a sharp eye on culture, compliance and communication.

💡 Agile isn’t just a buzzword to me. It’s a way of working that brings real clarity, accountability and pace to HR. I discovered Agile when I was knee-deep in a messy restructure - the kind that drags on, wears people down, and leaves leaders stuck. Learning how to apply Agile principles to HR changed everything: it gave me a framework to make better decisions faster, stay people-focused, and avoid burnout.

Now, I support teams to work more transparently, prioritise what matters, and build practices that actually stick.

🎭 The impACT of conversation
As a trained actor, I bring something different to leadership training — realism. impACT is my way of giving managers the space to practise conversations they’ve been avoiding, with expert feedback in the moment. It's immersive, honest and incredibly powerful.

Because knowing what to say is one thing. Saying it out loud is another.

💬 What you can expect from me: 

Honest advice, even when it’s uncomfortable

Practical solutions that balance empathy with impact

A sense of humour and a deep respect for your people

​And someone who’s been there - right in the thick of it - and knows how to move things forward
