“Katie’s keynote at BritMums Live 2013 was one of the highlights of the conference. ‘Beautiful’, ‘Strong’ and ‘Inspiring’ were some of the comments from the 550 attendees. We had expected that she would be a good speaker; we discovered she’s a great one. She spoke frankly about what had happened to her and how she navigated dark times to find her current path. She lit up the room with her energy and passion and, best of all, left us with a feeling of empowerment as well as ideas on how to help others through her foundation”
“Katie was absolutely brilliant, totally inspirational and a really lovely person. She made out day by coming along, the feed-back has been brilliant”
“Katie was an amazing host at the vInsipired National Awards 2013. She was professional, relaxed and connected brilliantly with our audience of young people- they couldn’t wait to get their pictures taken with her after the event! We’ve had lovely feedback since, with guests delighted by the warm and positive feeling she gave to the event. Thank you Katie!”
“I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Katie. She spoke with inspiration, authenticity, truth, and confidence. Her story is undeniably unbelievable and her positivity and words of wisdom will stay with me for my entire life. I’ve tried to think of my favourite moment, but in honestly I don’t have one as it was all outstanding. Despite us being on Zoom, she delivered such a powerful session and I can honestly say if we were in a room together, you would have been able to hear a pin drop in the audience- we hung on her every word. Interviewing Katie has no doubt been the highlight of my career, and her message of positivity and self believe came at such a pertinent moment. We can’t thank her enough.”
