Meet Kath - EduLead Founder and SLT Coach and Mentor
Kath is driven by a vision to see all schools led by thriving leaders. Since founding EduLead in 2017, she has supported hundreds of educational leaders across the UK in achieving this goal.
Her passion to support educational leaders was sparked by a life-changing experience in 2014 when she faced burnout while leading large-scale engineering apprenticeships and graduate schemes at British Airways.
Before this pivotal moment, Kath enjoyed a successful career linking education and business, earning four prestigious awards for her services to education.
The burnout led to a transformative four-month recovery period, during which Kath embarked on a deep exploration of its root causes. She uncovered a complex mix of personal factors, including childhood conditioning and learned behaviours, as well as challenging work conditions.
This profound experience inspired Kath to leave her 18-year career and chart a new path dedicated to helping others build strong mindsets and lead thriving lives both in and out of the workplace. Her deep connections in the education sector, combined with an acute awareness of the high stress levels faced by school leaders, made this field a natural focus for her work.
EduLead is the result of Kath's extensive personal development journey, which included significant investments in business mentorship, coaching, and continuous learning through courses, books, and more. Her thirst for knowledge is unquenchable and continues to drive her forward.
Clients often use words such as “life changing” and “transformational” to describe her work.
Is Kath the Coach for you?
Kath is known for building strong, trusting relationships with her clients through clarity, intuition, and empathy. This trust enables her to challenge clients to think differently, using her unique combination of directness and kindness. She fosters an environment where no topic is off-limits, and clients are encouraged to express their thoughts and opinions without fear of judgment.
Kath's approach integrates coaching, mentoring, and teaching to facilitate deep personal and professional transformation. Unlike traditional coaching models, she offers communication between sessions, ensuring clients feel fully supported as they navigate their desired changes. This level of care and attention is a standard across the EduLead team.
Recognizing that clients often need time to reflect on what was discussed during sessions, Kath provides audio or video summaries to reinforce key takeaways. She is frequently described as a client's "Wingwoman," committed to their journey until they are ready to soar on their own.
Kath specializes in helping her clients:
1. Eradicate overwhelm and cultivate inner calm.
2. Overcome imposter syndrome and build confidence.
3. Manage emotions and foster strong team relationships.
4. Consciously design their leadership identity and live by this blueprint.
5. Develop trusting, courageous, and high-performing senior leadership teams.
6. Enhance their effectiveness and productivity, enabling a balanced and happy life at work and home.
EduLead now works closely with carefully selected associate coaches to enable more support for leaders across all levels of education alongside offering conferences, 360 feedback services, a Headteacher specific development programme and much more.
In 2023, Kath was a finalist in the Woman Who Achieves Solopreneur Awards, and in July 2024, EduLead received CPD accreditation from the CPD Standards Office.
When Kath isn't working, she can be found doing creative things like watercolour painting, knitting or choosing yet another colour to paint the walls of her house! She's an avid reader, loves being in nature and values time with family and friends. She lives in Warwickshire with her partner Michael and their two children.

"Working with Kath has been transformational. Her approach is both inspirational and empathetic and her intense curiosity and attention to detail leads me to state that, without question, my work with Kath has had more impact on my practice than any other form of CPD I have engaged in. The impact of this work has been profound and has improved my life”
Julian - Headteacher
”Within a very short space of time, I am a completely different person. I have strong self esteem, I am level headed, I tackle challenge without fear and most importantly, I am happier, healthier and filled with more energy. I know exactly what type of leader I am and I have confidence in my ability to be effective.“
Clara - Deputy Head
"Simply put, this is the most powerful thing I have ever done for my self-development. I am a different person now [..] would I recommend Kath if you were looking for some professional 1:1 coaching? hell yes! Stop considering and start doing!"
Curt - Project Manager
“This has come at the perfect time as I have stepped into a new role and has made SUCH a positive difference to me personally and professionally. I have clarity on my mission and although sometimes I don't meet it, I am so much more clear, balanced and healthy as a result of my mission statement."
Amanda - Primary Headteacher
“[...] I can’t convey how much I appreciate you [...] The work I have done with you has totally transformed my life! You helped me take control when I felt like a passenger in my own life. I feel confident, happy and I believe in myself. [...] I’m able to manage my emotions better, to know why I’m feeling a particular way, and how to work my way through it [...] I wouldn’t be the confident woman and leader I am now without you. You are truly amazing!”
