In Episode #16 of the Bee-Brilliant People Podcast🎙🎧,
We were delighted to be joined by the absolutely 100% authentically authentic quirky coaching and people development sensation that is Katherine (Katy) Baggott.
Katy is proud to be one of the weird ones and and embraces this to the max, she's sung with flashmobs, rock choirs and volunteered as a speaker coach with Ted X. We have joking but not joking played with the idea of creating a new Podcast "Embracing the Weirdness", watch this space on that one.
Katy is multi-talented and is a DJ for local radio station where she goes by the DJ name of Katy B and her show 'the Sunday Underbelly' can be found on Lincoln's LCR Radio (link below to Katy's Mixcloud profile and all episodes) Tune in she's amazing!

Katy is an Executive Coach, and a bloody good and well respected one at that. She's worked for some massive international corporate organisations in the past such as Mars and Coke-a-Cola. She is person-centred and believes that 'quirky' experiences have helped shape her as a person and how she experiences the World. She is a generous, kind and wonderful Human Being and we were honoured to have her give up some time to talk on the Podcast.
"who you are is how you coach"
This week marked International Neurodiversity Celebration Week, which is a worldwide initiative that challenges stereotypes and misconceptions about neurological differences.
"coaching with Neurodivergent clients keeps my coaching skills as stretchy as their timeline"
We covered a diverse range of topics ranging from:
Coaching - beyond neuro normative approaches
Working with marginalised voices
The value of labels - the paradox between helpful v destructive
Feedback - constructive approaches
Strengths-based feedback "feedback is a gift"
Psychological safety
Creating squishy environments for great conversations
Visual tools in coaching
Authenticity and masking "Every entrepreneur I know who has gone on to great success has capitalised on their strengths"
The timing of the Podcast was perfect as other golden thread running throughout the show was difference and different ways of thinking, which led us to talk about Neurodiversity. Katy is an ally in this space and relates to ND people given some of her own experiences.
I hope you enjoy the podcast as much as we enjoyed recording it. If you do enjoy please don't forget to rate the show in your player of choice so others can find us and share the podcast with your network - thanks for listening and tune in again soon for more bee-rilliant guests and content.
