Kat Astley

Senior Consultant

At home
After 20 years in flat Cambridge we bought a ruined 400 year old Welsh mountain farm – it’s proving quite challenging! But exploring and living in this ancient landscape makes me profoundly happy. The kids are now tractor experts and I’m now much better at running uphill!

At work
Teams have always been my passion. My practical understanding comes from years spent in the British Army, operating a property development business, working in the construction industry and two decades of high performance rowing coaching. Since 2009 I’ve specialised in executive coaching, leadership development, organisational psychology and behavioural change within Financial Services, and I’m now a cross-sector facilitator.

Greatest achievements
It has to be my family – Teddy, Barney, husband Rich and sheepdog Bodge, as well as performing and coaching at World Championship level in various sports. It’s a privilege to help others grow and fulfil their potential – whether they’re my kids, clients or athletes.
