Working with Kerrie came at just the right time for me. I was feeling stuck and unsure during my job search journey, and she helped me make sense of everything in such a kind, thoughtful way. She really saw my potential even when I couldn’t, and that made all the difference. Her support gave me the confidence to move forward, and I’m so glad I got the chance to work with her. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for honest guidance and real encouragement.

PMO, TikTok

Kerrie has been my mentor for more than six months, we started mentorship right after I moved to a program management role. She supported me to grow in my new role and in the company. She helped me to navigate difficult times, bringing a new perspective into issues with her guidance, and she did it with great care. I think the most significant difference she made was always approaching with authenticity and being her true self, which helped us to develop a trust-based relationship from day 1. I’d suggest her mentorship and guidance to everyone who’d like to work on their career progress, looking for genuine support accompanied with the wisdom of program management in highly volatile environments and corporate life as a whole.

Director of People Operations, ESW

I had the great fortune of working closely with Kerrie. I found myself in a new role, having to adapt and get up to speed quickly. Kerrie had offered support to coach and be that ‘sounding board’ for me as I navigated a new field of expertise. Kerrie was very generous with her time to me, whatever time of the day or whatever the challenge – Kerrie was there to provide support and an invaluable perspective. Kerrie’s approach and style made it incredibly easy to communicate with her. Kerrie struck the right balance of listening, hearing perspective and opinion on any given matter and instead of jumping immediately to solutions management / instruction would instead guide to consider different perspectives. I really felt learned and grew in my role from my time with Kerrie, her coaching left me with perspectives and considerations
brought forward into future situations long past our conversations. I am forever indebted to Kerrie for her time, patience and support. I would highly recommend Kerrie as a coach / mentor!
