WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
The founder of Gritty People, Kay Woodburn has spent many years ‘climbing the corporate ladder’. Whilst achieving great heights in that career she also had two children and life to navigate outside of work. Kay eventually hit burnout and decided it was time to press the pause button. During a time of reflection Kay decided there must be another way to achieve her goals whilst enjoying the journey. On discovering that ‘other way’ her career rocketed, as did the strength of her relationships and enjoyment as she did it all. Kay set out on her mission to share these learnings with as many people as she could reach so they too could benefit from the Gritty Mindset.
Gritty people are now a team of people, still led by the founder who still passionately leads the company on the same mission, to help people break out of their box! So, they too can make the changes that will enable them to be the best version of themselfs they can be, whether that’s in leadership, personally or athletically.
WE WANT TO WORK WITH PEOPLE THAT BELIEVE AS WE BELIEVE, AND ENABLE YOU TO ENJOY RESULTS BEYOND BELIEF.
How we do it
At Gritty People we work with you to develop your Emotional Intelligence & levels of Grit, we do it in a very experiential way. We create experiences for people, and those experiences allow in the moment responses to help people become more aware of their own patterns of behaviour.
We truly engage learners before joining the learning programme to change their mindset from ‘have’ to learn, to ‘want’ to learn.
The learner will make the decision to attend and therefore concentration and motivation levels are increased. During the learning experience, we ensure the workshops are designed to suit all learning preferences, the learner is encouraged to participate, interact and be autonomous in their learning experience.
WHAT DO WE DO?
We offer a wide range of workshops, which can be run face to face or through virtual live learning sessions, they range from half day events through to full leadership development programs over a 6 – 12-month period.
Our stand alone workshops range from developing leadership skills, the mystery of human behavior in communication through to outdoor team development events … Want more details?

WHAT DO OUR PARTICIPANTS SAY?
Alan Hogg
CEO of A.S.H Management Consultants
Kay’s open and humble delivery style allowed trust and confidence to be built very quickly and I for one felt I could openly communicate, without any concern for judgement. The sessions have been a revelation and the use of NLP has helped me in a way that I couldn’t comprehend. No matter what I am doing or the challenges I face, I know that Kay is just a call, text or email away from advising, challenging and energising me
Louise Stonier
Chief People and Culture Officer
The skills, tools and knowledge gained from Kay have improved my leadership skills and ability to get the best out of people. I feel that I am more able to communicate with impact, seek to understand others’ points of view, negotiate and influence as appropriate. Kay gives really down to earth and practical advice which is easily translatable into the day to day. What I like best about Kay is that she commits to you. I know that she is actively listening and that she genuinely cares about her clients.”
