Tools & Resources

The Katy Abbott Studio Approach

Katy has a unique and holistic approach to mentoring, providing in-depth programs and resources that make a life-defining difference for artists, leaders and individuals. 

Katy’s driver and mentoring philosophy build from the idea the world needs people to use their strong, clear voices to affect change, and as such, provides ways supportive, warm and containers for clients to build courage, clarity and capacity for whatever is next.

Her work is designed to help trust your own inklings and pulls, building the unshakable clarity and confidence to create a life/career that is truly your own.

Katy often works with artists who are parents, neurodiverse, or women navigating what is next.  Often in areas of:

  • Building capacity for a sustained career
  • Navigating the people-y things in the industry
  • Aligned negotiation and advocation skills
  • Artistic purpose
  • Artistic resilience
  • Strategic career decisions and direction

Additional certifications include:

Certified Facilitator in the Playing Big – with Tara Mohr method

Certified Resilience Coach (CReC) and PR6E Resilience Assessment.

Upcoming Certification in Emotional Agility with Dr Susan David (Harvard).
