Design industry experience: 20+ years
Catherine firmly believes that the way we present ourselves in business can hugely influence people’s impressions of us as individuals and significantly alter perceptions of an agency overall. Improved personal skills – whether it’s presenting in pitches, effective decision-making, communicating with clients or greater presence and gravitas – can have a dramatic effect on an agency’s chances of winning business. It was on this belief that she founded Master the Art, a training consultancy that helps agencies win more business by providing relevant and engaging personal skills training.
As a trained actress, she has combined her knowledge of acting with her 20 years agency experience (in client services and business development roles) to develop and lead presentation and communication skills training sessions specifically for those working in an agency environment. She offers a range of affordable bite-size, half-day or full-day, group or individual sessions that are tailored to each agency’s needs.
