Client Stories

Cate helped me so much. I’d had the book thought stuck for about 2 years, but I could not figure out the positioning or purpose. Everyone said I should but there didn’t seem a way to get it to fit with the business which wasn’t a good enough reason in my eyes.

But the Read Magnet program changed it. I was able to realise the ideas I had in reality were 3 books. 2 of which I probably now won’t bother with! Lots of time and money saved.

Because of the program the book is well positioned, really transformative for the reader and has a firm place within my funnels.

It also turned out to be very easy to write. In fact I wrote 40,000 words and finished the book in just 5 weeks. This was down to the way to the techniques that Cate taught and personal feedback that was given.

This program was not just the first step to get started, it also turned out to be the last!

Thank you it was the best support I could have ever have needed.

“Without Cate, I’d have writen the wrong book!”

I came into the process thinking I had a strong book idea. What I discovered was that I was about to write the wrong book.

Working with Cate helped me completely redefine my message, sharpen my thinking and create something far more exciting and distinctive. It didn’t just give me a book blueprint, it transformed how I think about my business.

One of Cate’s greatest strengths is her ability to listen to everything you’re saying and then identify the sentence that captures the essence of it. I can overwhelm myself with ideas and overthink everything. Cate brought clarity.

It’s not just a great book coaching experience. It’s been the best business coaching experience as well.

Working with Cate has been incredible. Not only do I have all my thoughts unscrambled and in an order that makes sense, I have a first draft of a very good book I can be proud of, that demonstrates both my expertise and experience. Possibly even more valuable, I’m seeing how chapters can become talks, how the book can work as the front-facing part of an audience growth and money-making funnel, and how it works synergistically with my whole business. A book that was imaginary for nearly a decade is finally nearly real. Thank you Cate for your skill, dedication and creative rigour!

“In just one hour Cate broke down all of my ideas and organised it in such a way that set a path for me to start writing my book.”

I am so grateful to Cate for her book breakthrough session – I think it is exactly what it says it is, a massive breakthrough to clarity and confidence in starting your book journey. I have had my solo book on my vision for quite some time, and it has become a real goal of mine since a year ago!! A year! Yes, that’s how long I have been thinking about what the book would be about, until I got on a call with Cate. In just one hour Cate broke down all of my ideas and organised it in such a way that set a path for me to start writing my book. No more wondering in my thoughts of what it would be, I now know exactly what it needs to be and what will go into every single chapter of my book. It was a pleasure to watch Cate doing her magic with my ideas and putting it all into one coherent strategy. Thank you!! I am so excited to start writing and become a solo published author now!

Cate was absolutely amazing at helping me bring my ideas to my consciousness and kept me accountable as I moved through writing my second book. She is patient, understanding and empathetic and pushes you at the perfect pace to keep you productive without completely overwhelming you… I’ve been writing copy for years but have always struggled to write for myself. I learned so much from Cate, and in the 3 months we worked together I actually tripled my monthly income from my first book.

“Cate helps you write a book with your Business Strategy in mind.”

Cate is a powerhouse for fine-tuning your text, puzzle out where to place your stories, and adding the finishing touches of a word here and there that make you realize “Yes! THAT’s what I meant to say”. She also has the whole background of your business interest and marketing strategy in the back of her mind, and will link you back to your possibilities in each conversation.

The Soul Works has revolutionised my approach to writing. Cate’s teaching, the structure and content of the course has enabled me to get out of my head and my book on to paper. I have managed to get chapters written despite having young kids and a business, and it has all felt achievable. No retreat to the Outer Hebrides needed. I have loved the course, teaching and the community it has given me. But the thing I’m most proud of is that I’ve finally found my voice – and I’ve written hundreds of blogs before. I look back on things I’ve written in the past and they sound so teachery, not like me at all. I’m not a therapist who wears a floral dress. I do swear occasionally (obviously never in front of the kids). This is who I am. And if that’s not for you, then you’re not for me, and that’s ok!

“I had all the ideas but Cate helped me bring my book project to life!”

I’d been sitting on my book project for years! I knew I needed some help getting my content off the Trello board, but was overwhelmed with knowing where to start. The program is packed with resources on how to craft and publish your book. I’m looking at the project in a simple, step by step way now and that makes the book much easier to write. The group calls were helpful in trouble-shooting and connecting with inspiring business owners. I recommend this program for anyone who has all the ideas, but needs help with bringing their book to life.

“I couldn’t have written this without Cate’s support….I had been working on this for ten years, so this has collapsed timelines, has meant that I have been completely held and supported every step of the way…”

I love the encouragement and support of this wonderful and kind community. Cate really makes you feel seen and heard with your soul’s book project and supports you in overcoming doubts and imposter syndrome. Her motto is that everyone has a soul story aka book inside and she really helps you getting it out there also with the support of other fellow writers of the community.

“I wouldn’t have got this book finished without Cate. It certainly wouldn’t have been half as readable without her guidance and input. And since publishing the book lots of readers have turned into clients.”
