About Katherine Scott
How I got here
I loved my HR career and the people I worked with. I was the trusted companion of managers and business leaders with a passion for helping them to learn, grow and thrive. As I made my own progress, I partnered with a coach and reconnected with my innate skills, what drives me and made purposeful steps that allowed me to perform at my best.
I went back to work after my first baby, and found the job unrecognisable. And I was different too, with new priorities and shaking confidence. I felt I’d lost control and I’d definitely lost my glow. Coaching helped me put things back into perspective and I started to see new possibilities.
In 2018, after my second baby, I took redundancy, trained as a coach, and built Katherine Scott Coaching. A few years later came my ADHD diagnosis and it explained a lot. I've always been the scribbled-line thinker in a straight-line world and I’ve always been at my best when supporting other creative, divergent people.
That became Straight Lines and Scribbles™️: the belief that creative, non-linear thinkers don't need fixing. They need the right kind of support to work with how their brain works, not against it.
Now I help two kinds of people find that. Professional creatives inside corporate teams who are brilliant but not always heard. And mid-life women who've been treading water for years, ready to make the next fifteen count.
Sound familiar? Let's talk.
Katherine or Kat?
My family and school friends call me Katherine - formal, dependable, safe, conscientious. Everyone else calls me Kat - informal, friendly, relatable, fun. You can choose what you call me - you’ll get the same me.
I live in the leafy suburb of Harpenden with my husband and our two gorgeous girls. It’s a lovely place to live, but I really miss the creative buzz of London so I nip back as much as possible.
I love laughing, talking, singing, making things look pretty, and I lose hours scrolling through hair and makeup tutorials. I also love 90's and 00's music - well, actually anything nostalgic from that time.
I am at my very happiest in a room filled with people. My biggest challenge is trying to get around the room.
