Episode 2: Coach to Corporate with Katy Walton

🎙️ "Leadership, Learning & Letting Go: A Conversation with Katy Walton"

In this episode of The Coaching Corner Podcast, I’m joined by the inspiring Katy Walton — founder of a thriving leadership development and coaching business. Katy brings a wealth of experience from both corporate learning and development and the world of coaching, and in this chat, she shares it all with warmth, honesty and humour.

We talk about what leadership really looks like in today’s workplaces, how to bridge the gap between coaching and L&D, and why so many people still don’t quite understand what coaching is. Katy opens up about her journey — including the moment she realised she didn’t have to do it all alone, and the power of building a trusted team.

Expect insight, wisdom, and a healthy dose of permission to do things your way. Here’s what we cover:

Katy’s path from corporate to coaching entrepreneur

The myths and confusion around “what coaching actually is”

How to lead learning programmes that stick

Why building your business isn’t a solo sport

The real value of relationships and being “in the room”

Whether you’re a coach, a leader, or someone navigating both, this episode will leave you feeling seen, supported, and inspired to step into your strengths.

✨ Real conversations. Real business. Real leadership.
