Catherine Lightfoot Individual Member

Member Bio

I help people and organisations turn chaos into clarity. I’m Catherine, founder of Fire & Light Coaching , where I combine 20+ years of global HR leadership, executive coaching, and personal experience of navigating life as a late-diagnosed neurodivergent professional and parent.

I work with leaders, creatives, and founders at a crossroads, helping them shift from overwhelm to action. I bring warmth, honesty, curiosity and (importantly) humour to my coaching and consultancy partnerships.

My unique lens blends executive and ADHD coaching, with an emphasis on empowering clients to lean into their strengths, reimagine what success looks like, and build workplaces where everyone can thrive.

After leading global HR teams and transformation projects for household names (from KPMG to Imperial Brands to high-growth tech start-ups), I launched Fire & Light to create the business I wish I’d had access to earlier in my career: part guide, part challenger, fully human.

Alongside my coaching work, I am a trustee at The Mazi Project and Bristol Old Vic, passionate about community impact and access to the arts.
