GYST Reviews

Helped me develop in a stronger executive

Katie was a keynote speaker for my latest in person event for Women In Recruitment leadership. Katie designed a session which was interactive and totally engaged every single founder in the room. The theme was “meltdown” which enabled us to understand our behaviors when under duress, in stressful situations and how this impacts our well-being, our decision-making, but also the impact it has on our team members. I must say that Katie has been one of the best speakers we’ve ever had for the community. the feedback was instantly unbelievable, and everyone was so grateful for her insights and techniques and each one of us has walked away with a better understanding of how we can approach stressful situations I would highly recommend Katie for any business that is looking to understand how to get the best out of its people, including leaders and ensure long-term well-being, which has a direct impact on the performance of the company from a profitability point of view, but also from a reputation and EVP perspective too.

Forget your typical corporate training. This workshop throws you into a high-pressure, escape-room scenario. It’s fast, fun and eye-opening. It forces you to see how you behave when the clock is ticking, and gives practical 'ABCD' tools to reset, pause, and prevent burnout in the real world.

I worked with Katie and GYST Well-being for over two years both with 1-1 coaching and for team training and I can honestly say it has been amazing. Katie is a fantastic coach and both myself and my team have really benefited from her input.

I was delighted to recently take part in a uniquely combined ‘Pressure Points’ Meltdown/ Padel event hosted by Gyst. A willingness to learn, some fierce competition, introverts reverting to type trying to solve problems in their head, and finally more openness and communication meant my team finally found a solution before a full meltdown occurred. The best part for me? The debrief after the adrenaline. Honesty, transparency, awareness, learning and unlearning. Becoming more self aware under pressure. Building trust- a fundamental baseline for high performing teams. I highly recommend Meltdown to new and established teams from C-suite to the shop floor who are looking to build trust, transparency and want to help each other grow.

Katie recently delivered a stress and burnout awareness session for our central office teams. We had fantastic feedback from colleagues who found the session engaging, insightful and practical. Katie is a brilliant facilitator, sharing her expertise in a relatable and honest way that helps participants feel comfortable to interact and ask questions.

Katie delivered two standout sessions for Stress Awareness Month. One for leaders and one open to everyone , and both were packed with practical takeaways. She has a brilliant way of making stress feel understandable and manageable with the key takeaway from both that pressure isn’t the enemy, it’s unmanaged pressure that causes the issues. Most of all, Katie’s delivery is engaging and interactive; it feels like a conversation, not a lecture and people leave with actions they can genuinely try the same day.

Katie’s burnout session was fantastic warm, relatable and genuinely engaging. She made the whole hour really interactive, encouraging colleagues to reflect, share and take part, which helped everyone feel included and supported. One of the most helpful parts was when she talked us through practical steps to recognise the early signs of stress and what to do in the moment. These were simple, realistic things our colleagues could start using straight away.

“Katie was a standout speaker at our Practice Managers Conference, delivering a powerful and timely session on burnout. Her ability to connect with the audience, provide actionable tools, and create a supportive atmosphere made her one of the most talked-about presenters of the event. We highly recommend Katie, she brings expertise, heart, and real impact.”

I recently worked with Katie and I can't recommend her enough. As a solo business owner, dad, husband and everything else in between life was getting a bit on top of me. Stress, anxiety and bordering on burn out is where this left me. Although my business was going well, how I was feeling in myself wasn't right so I chose to do something about it. Over 4-5 months and several sessions with Katie, she's helped me to reframe how I think, how I act and importantly how to cope with triggers. She's easy to talk to, down to earth, extremely knowledgeable and you just know she genuinely cares. If you're feeling like you need some help to manage what I've described, you'll be in safe hands. Thanks for everything

What can I say, I stumbled across Katie via a mutual recruitment contact on LinkedIn and instantly loved her energy and approach to mental health. Being a recruiter myself, loved the fact that she can help people in my position navigate the stresses or the role. With this in mind, I felt comfortable reaching out to Katie and asked her if she would present to the members of my community platform and she said yes! Fast forward to now and Katie has just delivered an engaging and informative live session that will not only help my members navigate challenging market conditions, but also helped me notice my own bad habits and that it's time to make some changes. Thanks again Katie! x

Katie is an incredible coach. She has this brilliant way of cutting through the chaos and helping me see what really matters. Working with her has made a huge difference in how I approach both business and life. She’s sharp, supportive, and genuinely cares. I always leave our sessions clearer, more focused, and ready to move forward.

We have been working with Katie for a few years now, starting with group webinars for the whole team and moving on to individual coaching for anyone who felt they would benefit from it. The team love Katie and the work she has done with them has had a great impact on everyone.

This is my second time working with Katie to bring her knowledge and expertise to our team to run a workshop around Burnout and Managing Boundaries. She's fantastic - the team found it extremely helpful to notice and manage their trigger points and we've set some big wheels in motions to focus on wellbeing all around. Thanks Katie - you're ACE! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to other corporations looking to tackle stress, burnout and boundaries at work!

Katie delivered an engaging session at our off-site company meeting. The energy and personal experience she brings to the session are fantastic and I hope we'll be able to do more work together in the future for the benefit of my employees and their mental wellbeing and resilience.

Katie is very knowledgeable and teaches with empathy. I joined a one-off session and signed up for the club!

Katie did an amazing talk for us at short notice! Thank you Katie!

Katie & GYST Wellbeing are fantastic. Katie is a brilliant, knowledgeable burnout, stress and wellbeing coach providing great workshops and webinars supporting professionals. Katie has led a number of online sessions for the Product Mind Community to date, each has been well received and provided members with tangible tactics to take away. Thank you Katie

I truly could no recommend Katy enough. (In fact I literally recommend her to everyone I speak too) I first went one of her webinars about 4/5 years ago and I have stayed in touch with her since. Brining her into each business I've worked in. Her webinars are incredibly engaging, informative and authentic. She is simply wonderful. 💛

I've been following Katie on LinkedIn and Instagram for sometime now. She is such a genuine person and I get so much from the amazing content she shares that I asked her to run a session for the TEAM Network on stress in the workplace. It was an amazing webinar which really resonated with lots of our membership and suppliers. If you or your staff are suffering burnout or stress related issues, tackling the problem head on and engaging with Katie is one of the best things you can do for your business. 79% of the workforce are feeling burnt out at the moment - so make sure you are doing something to help! Thank you Katie for being a beacon of light for the TEAM Network and me personally. Andy
