About Catherine

I have worked extensively as an actress, (West End, theatre, television), presenter (Sky, BBC Radio), and voice artist. Alongside a degree in performance studies, I have 20-years’ experience in live broadcasts, interview technique and hosting live presentations, all of which I integrate into my sessions at London Speech Workshop.

At London Speech Workshop, my diverse professional background allows me to support people at all stages of their career within a safe, enjoyable and supportive framework. I am passionate about helping clients discover the tools they need to take the next step in their communication journey. Our team of coaches are truly exceptional, and we work together collaboratively to ensure the best outcomes for all our clients.

Using the Serlin Method of coaching gives our clients the knowledge and confidence to make simple yet powerful changes straight away. From the very first session clients come away with actionable, impactful techniques that will open the door to more confident and engaging communication.

At the executive level, decisions move faster, stakes are higher, and personalities are often stronger. When conflict arises, as it inevitably does, it can either fracture alignment or fuel performance.

In our recent webinar on Navigating Conflict With Grace, Dr. Lindy Greer offered a compelling insight:

“Conflict isn’t something to avoid, it’s a core ingredient of executive team excellence.”

A professor of management and faculty director for leadership development at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, Dr. Greer is a leading researcher in team dynamics and leadership conflict.

She’s advised powerhouse organisations like Amazon, Google, and the NFL, and her work is rooted in academic rigour and real-world impact.

Her perspective on conflict is unique: she doesn’t just study it, she equips leaders to thrive within it.

Why Executive Conflict Is Inevitable (and Necessary)

The higher you climb in an organisation, the more complex the decisions, and the more potential for differing opinions.

“Conflict is simply the expression of difference. If an executive team isn’t having conflict, it probably means they’re not addressing the real challenges, or they don’t feel safe enough to disagree.”

Instead of trying to eliminate conflict, Dr. Greer encourages leaders to normalise it, structure it, and channel it.
