What people say about working with Arc Cymru
Organisational Development
“Kate designed and delivered our first management away day since the start of the pandemic, the first time some of us had been in a room together.
Kate provided an excellent framework of activities that allowed us to learn more about each other (and sometimes ourselves!) whilst also exploring ways that we could change and evolve.”

“Kate ensured input from the team was taken into consideration when designing our programme and that the sessions were interactive and responsive to our need. She focussed on practical ways in which the team work together now and any changes that would need to be considered going forward.
Discussions were open and inclusive and the techniques and methodologies shared. The programme exceeded our expectations and the time spent was very productive.”

“Kate really got us! She understands the social enterprise and voluntary sectors and how they work. We were looking for an expert in governance who could contribute experience from a wide range of organisations.
Kate brought that wealth of experience and helped us deliver a first-class leadership programme for voluntary sector board members in Wales.”

Programme Delivery
“Kate and I have worked together on several key projects.
Most recently she delivered a pivotal insights review into a multi-million pound innovation programme. The comprehensive report and recommendations she delivered, bringing together the insights of key stakeholders, has helped shape a subsequent round of funding.
Kate has also provided invaluable input as an assessor and panelist, she is highly motivated and passionate and it is a real pleasure to be able to continue to collaborate on the vital work we are doing in the Ageing and Social Enterprise sector.”

“It is my privilege to provide feedback on the fantastic work ARC – Making a Difference has had working with TfW.
By working closely with Arc: Making the Difference
Director, Kate Carr, on this commission, TfW was able to achieve our vision of creating a pathways programme that creates life-changing opportunities for men and women that are either in or at risk of being involved in the criminal justice system.
Recognising the complexities of the justice system, Kate successfully designed, developed and led a series of events that enhanced potential employers’ knowledge, to increase the likelihood of achieving sustained, permanent employment after release from the justice system.

“From a personal perspective, my motivation with creating this pathways programme in 2021 was recognising the fact that in my opinion, reformed individuals from within the justice system deserve an opportunity at a second chance in life.
Likewise, those who are at risk of being involved, would also benefit from TfW being a trusted, guiding hand that can provide links to employment. This would not have become a reality without the experience, positive challenge, insight and lead that ARC had on this programme.“

“Kate is an incredible, highly skilled and experienced coach and mentor.
Working with her has been a massive blessing as she helped me navigate my way into a senior leadership role at a time when I desperately needed a change in my life.
She has continued to support me to grow and thrive. What makes Kate special is her passion and dedication to bring out the best in people and to see them succeed.
I can’t recommend her enough.”

“I have found working with Kate motivating and very beneficial to my thinking and development. Kate has excellent interpersonal skills and builds trust with you as a coachee, which creates a safe space.
This enables you as coach and coachee to have in depth and explorative discussions, which really get to the root of the matters at hand and means that you can tackle tough topics too, which is critical as part of personal and professional development.
Kate balances well support and challenge. She is flexible in her approach, whilst also ensuring that coaching sessions are productive and that you are enabled to make progress with each session.
I’d highly recommend working with Kate.”

“Kate is a fantastic media coach who has improved my understanding of the media, political influences in the media, delivery and linking these to my personal values.
This has helped to reflect and improve my understanding of these areas whilst also receiving honest feedback which has helped me to improve for the future.
I would recommend Kate to anyone seeking to improve these areas or transitioning to the executive level.”
