The “unofficial” bio: Kathy Catton
I love the flexibility and freedom of living in New Zealand. I’m currently developing the next generation of leaders – being a Mum! I also love to keep fit – with running and walking my main sports. Eating healthily is important to me as it ensures that I can live my life to the full so I am teaching myself to grow vegetables, which is giving me great pleasure and is a great stress-buster! My husband Mike is equally outdoorsy and we are loving exploring NZ together. We are privileged to have some great friends around us who share in our adventures.
The “official” bio: Mike Catton
I served 11 years in the British Army and in my capacity as a Chartered Aircraft Engineer led teams of up to120+ men and women, managed aircraft fleets of 30+ helicopters, and deployed on operational tours of duty. As such I developed practical hands on leadership and management experience. In the decade since leaving the military, my focus has been on people and how they can best perform, either as individuals or in teams, such as in business. I have held a Skills Development post at the University of Surrey and the University still holds the top place in the UK for graduates entering employment. I am currently a contract trainer for the New Zealand Institute of Management. My work has won international awards and I am passionate about the practical application of the latest research into human performance. Read more at www.mikecatton.co.nz
