I am Catherine Brown, founder and director of Skilful Conversation Limited.

I bring a fresh approach to coaching and training by combining nearly two decades of working with companies and individuals, initially as a practising barrister and, more recently, as a trainer and facilitator.

My coaching philosophy is informed by my belief in the power and responsibility of the individual to bring about change in their professional and personal lives. I believe that coaching at its best is coaching at its simplest – a skilful, directed blend of conversation and silence. The skill coming in the coach’s ability to listen, to form and put appropriate questions in a supportive but challenging environment, to listen to and challenge the answers and to provide feedback.

Against that background, I employ a collaborative and conversational style which allows my clients to stop and think and gives them the time and space in which they can express themselves, explore new ideas and develop their own solutions.
