Katherine Long
Katherine Long is an experienced coach, mentor and
coaching supervisor, with over 20 years of experience
in people development. She is particularly effective
in contexts where leaders and teams are journeying
through emergent change and transformation,
where her ability to partner with clients in the midst
of ambiguity really shines.
Katherine’s background is in culture change, cross-cultural
communications and developing intercultural competencies.
She brings a holistic and systems perspective to her work; a
key value in any work she undertakes is to bring into focus
the health and well-being of the whole system (individual,
team, organisation), as well as address specific coaching
issues and challenges. Recent assignments include career
transition coaching, global leadership development, team
coaching to a public sector board, and coaching to support
culture change.
“Katherine has an intensely engaging style whereby she
facilitates a more meaningful learning experience than
is the norm. She has the rare gift of providing subtle
structure at the same time as eliciting exploration of ideas
and content at deeper levels. I couldn’t recommend her
more highly.”
“Katherine demonstrates a rare skill. She has the ability
to create an open and curious space in which people feel
safe to talk, but also challenged to think more deeply and
broadly about issues. She is able to finely weave together
the theoretical concepts with application in real life.
Collaborative, creative, and robust would all be true words
to describe her delivery style.”

a lot over these 3 days and I am glad I have committed
to a different course of action than my original, smaller
thinking. The mix of challenge and support has been just
right – thanks!”

and energising event. My head was still spinning with it
all when it hit the pillow last night. It was brilliant. I am
stronger in having a clearer sense of my own purpose and

looking forward to the follow up too.”
