Welcome Kate Waterfall Hill to The Agency Adventure Partner in Residence.
Kate is a leadership coach with a difference. She brings over 30 years’ business and leadership development experience to her coaching practice – including 15 years on the board of a leading consumer PR and sports marketing agency.
Kate was made MD of the agency at the tender age of 29 and was the leading account strategist on the agency’s largest accounts, Virgin and Vodafone.
During her time as MD, Kate led the team through venture capital investment, a sale to a larger agency, and a management buyout. The agency grew from £500k to £5m turnover during her tenure.
Kate started her own consultancy in 2007, working alongside a number of CEO founders and supporting a range of SMEs in need of director-level input, covering a range of issues from business improvement, growth strategies, exit plans, marketing, restructuring, recruitment & retention, and people plans.
This depth and breadth of experience, coupled with a lightness of touch, makes any encounter with Kate in her latest guise as a leadership coach refreshing yet powerful.
LINDA, THE BAD MANAGER
You might know her better as the creator of “Linda, the bad manager” her alter ego on social media who inspires us all to brilliant leadership by showing us what not to do. Kate's skits have had over 60 million views; illustrating the traps that leaders often fall into and raising a wry smile from her 130k+ TikTok followers and 57k+ Facebook followers.
Yet, there’s more to Kate’s current passion than amusing (if sometimes cringe-worthy) content creation.
HOW TO LEAD
Kate is also the author of ‘How to Lead’, a step-by-step guide to leadership for CEOs, founders and leaders, and a keynote speaker, workshop facilitator and seasoned leadership coach. Her coaching programmes include a group mentoring/training course for aspiring and new leaders and a VIP one-to-one coaching programme for CEOs, founders and senior leaders.
