The one thing my entrepreneurial clients keep saying to me is “how did you manage to understand what’s in my head and put it on a piece of paper?! How did you articulate what drives my business better than I could?!”
I’ve worked with entrepreneurial businesses for 15 years, successfully helping leaders get what’s in their mind into the actions of their people and the hearts of their customers and prospects.
I’m a professionally trained communicator, actor and storyteller and have worked with some of the world’s most immersive brands including Jo Malone, Bobbi Brown and Baccarat. My passion lies in helping you master how you connect engage and inspire the people that matter to your growth.
Catherine's natural charm and demeanor immediately put people at ease. This helps to provide the perfect atmosphere to facilitate open discussions and makes her thoroughly engaging when presenting. She is clearly very knowledgeable about her subject which grabs and keeps your attention throughout. I'd recommend Catherine and Ambient Tribe to anyone working on their employee engagement and communication strategy within their business!
Sam Tasker-Grindley - Rotary Pheonix President, Account Director RSM
Catherine is clearly a natural, skilful and effective workshop host. She was authentic, engaging and dynamic from start to finish. The delegates were extremely engaged by her approach and got huge value from the content she shared. I happily recommend in the highest terms.
Paul Lanfear - Entrepreneur/Investor
I would most definitely recommend the speaker coaching. Catherine is a friendly, upbeat, supportive trainer with lots of knowledge and experience to share...The skills I have learned have helped to inject a dose of personal confidence.
Liz Kenny - Editor/Owner of Halifax Directory/Skircoat Green Directory
Catherine has been instrumental in the development of our Presentation Skills courses and we receive consistently excellent feedback from our clients regarding Catherine's training. We highly value our ongoing relationship with Ambient Tribe and the positive impact this has for our clients.
Paul Hodder - Managing Director at Bitesize Learning
The values are foundational to us as a business. Having the team involved in the creation of the values has created so much engagement. The values really are an embodiment of who we are.
Gary Bryant - Managing Director UK at MSL
Ambient Tribe supported the creation of our new company brochure. It was great to get an 'outside' point of view from someone who understands us as a company, our personality and tone of voice.
Claire Stringer-Phillips - Marketing Director of Wicresoft UK
My only regret is not being introduced to Ambient Tribe earlier - it would have saved us a lot of time, effort and uncertainty as the consultative support we received throughout the process, once they had been engaged, was excellent.
Andy Banks - Managing Director of Calibre Recruitment
I'm amazed by how much I use the values to personally motivate myself and keep myself on track, whether that's 'Choosing Positivity', when the going gets tough, or 'Thinking Big', when I'm stuck with a problem.
Vicky Nolan - Co-owner of Circuit Compliance
The process was brilliant, really rewarding. It was great to be clear on what we think makes a great place to work and how we approach our business.
Vicky Nolan - Co-owner of Circuit Compliance
We now have our values in a memorable, relevant and professional format and we are already using these internally and in key communication resources. The real benefit is in how they help with staff recruitment, development and retention.
Darren Stringer - Managing Director UK of Wicresoft UK
Rather than just delivering the values and vanishing, Catherine came in for follow up sessions, gathered our feedback and suggested ways we might work moving forward.
Claire Stringer-Phillips - Marketing Director of Wicresoft UK
We were universally delighted with Catherine's knowledge, work ethic and style.

Chris Iredale - Managing Director of Thriven - www.thriven.com
We had been through a challenging period with low staff engagement. but Catherine's ability to read and respond to a room meant that by the end of the first away day, it was as though we were a different organisation!
Kathryn Sullivan - CEO of Voluntary Action Calderdale
Catherine is an expert listener, able to take complex and confidential information from executive level and turn it into a communications plan that relays the appropriate information succinctly to those that need it, in a format they can use.
