Training That Creates Real Change

Katrice Rodrigues doesn’t deliver off-the-shelf training.
Every session is built around your people, your context, and the change you actually want to see. Drawing on 30 years of lived experience, as a Black competitive swimmer, a transracial adoptee, a dyslexic thinker, a qualified teacher, and a certified Advanced Aquaphobia Coach, Katrice brings something most trainers cannot: she has lived every topic she delivers.
This is not training that ticks a box. It is training that shifts something.

WHO KATRICE TRAINS

01

🏊🏾 Aquatics, Sport & Public Health Organisations

For leisure operators, swim schools, NGBs, local authorities, safeguarding teams, and sports development bodies.


Your staff work hard. But without the right knowledge, even the most well-meaning team can inadvertently exclude the very communities they are trying to reach.

Katrice’s training gives aquatics professionals the data, the science, and the practical tools to understand why Black and Asian communities are underrepresented in swimming β€” and what they can personally do to change it. From unconscious bias in the pool to culturally responsive teaching, from dismantling harmful racial myths to creating genuinely inclusive environments, this training moves your team from awareness to action


Your team will leave feeling:

Equipped, challenged, and genuinely motivated to do things differently.

“Black children are still 4 times more likely to drown than white children in the UK. That is not inevitable. It is changeable. And it starts with the people in this room.”

02

🧠 Neurodiversity, Education & Business

For schools, universities, colleges, corporate teams, HR professionals, managers, DEI leads, and entrepreneurship programmes.


Somewhere in your organisation right now, there is someone that may feel they are being measured with a broken ruler, just like Katrice was.

They are creative, perceptive, and full of potential, but the systems around them were never designed for how their brain works. Katrice knows this because she was that person. Written off at 7. Diagnosed dyslexic at 18. Dyspraxic at 26. And now running three businesses, speaking on national platforms, and writing a memoir.

Her training on neurodiversity and dyslexia doesn’t just raise awareness, it reframes the conversation entirely. From schools supporting young people through exams and into employment, to corporate teams learning how to unlock the potential of neurodivergent colleagues, Katrice delivers insight that is evidence-based, deeply personal, and immediately practical.


Your team will leave feeling:

Seen, informed, and ready to create environments where different minds can thrive.

“The question isn’t whether your team includes neurodivergent thinkers. It does. The question is whether you’re creating the conditions for them to do their best work.”

03

πŸ¦‹ Identity, Adoption & Belonging

For leadership teams, HR professionals, women’s organisations, resilience programmes, wellbeing teams, social care organisations, and anyone working with young people navigating identity.


Every person in your organisation carries a story about who they are, where they belong, and whether they are truly welcome. For many particularly those from care backgrounds, transracial adoptees, or those who have never quite felt they fitted, that story can quietly shape every decision, every relationship, and every opportunity they either take or walk away from.

Katrice speaks about transracial adoption and identity with a candour and warmth that is rare on any training platform. Placed for adoption before she was born, raised in a white British family, and only recently able to say publicly that it was the best thing that ever happened to her, she brings a perspective that is both deeply personal and professionally powerful.

This training creates space for honest conversations about identity, belonging, and what it means to build a culture where every person feels they truly belong, not just that they are tolerated.


Your team will leave feeling:

more connected, more compassionate, and more equipped to hold space for the people around them.

“Belonging is not about fitting in. It is about never being made to feel you have to.”

04

πŸ’§ Overcoming Fear β€” The Neuroscience of Taking the Leap

For corporate wellbeing teams, coaching organisations, swimming professionals, mental health advocates, and anyone supporting people through change, challenge, or the barriers that keep them stuck.


Fear is not weakness. Fear is the brain doing exactly what it was designed to do, protecting you from what it perceives as danger. The problem is that in the modern world, that ancient protection system can keep people from the very things that would change their lives.

As an Advanced Aquaphobia Coach certified by the Institute of Aquaphobia, Katrice has spent years helping people overcome one of the most visceral fears there is, the fear of water. But the neuroscience she uses, and the approach she takes, applies far beyond the pool. Whether your team is navigating change, supporting clients through anxiety, or simply stuck in patterns of avoidance, this training offers a framework for understanding fear, working with it, and taking the leap anyway.


Your team will leave feeling:

Calmer, clearer, and genuinely equipped to support themselves and others through fear, in water and in life.

“Fear is not the enemy. It is information. The question is whether you know how to read it.”
