Looking for expert marketing training?’

We get it. There’s generic soft skills training, then there’s B2B marketing soft skills trainings developed by marketers, for marketers. At Choose Consulting we understand both the principles of marketing, and the challenges of execution. Your marketers can have the finest customer journey maps. Highly resonating value propositions. The most robust data and metrics… but it counts for little if they’re unable to collaborate with empathy, present with gravitas or influence internal stakeholders.

Meet our founder, Catherine Grainger

Catherine’s credentials

If you're thinking of working with me, you might be interested in my career credentials. Starting my career in software, I then dedicated 23 years to 3M, a global, dynamic Fortune 100 company, in which my strong career trajectory incorporated UK, EMEA and Global roles in Strategic Planning, Marketing Excellence, Brand & Marcomms and Learning and Development.

I became well known at 3M for my strong leadership and facilitation skills, engaging and up-skilling marketing, sales and other functional teams across diverse markets and segments including Health Care, Electronics, Transportation, Industrial and Consumer Businesses. In 2021, I was delighted to have my career highlighted in the book ‘Wonder Women: Inspiring Stories and Insightful Interviews with Women in Marketing ‘ by Giles Lury and Katy Mousinho.

A master storyteller

When I’m not delivering marketing trainings or bootcamps for Choose Consulting, I’m wearing my other hat – as Master Facilitator for The Presentation Company. I deliver online and in-person trainings on ‘Crafting Strategic Visual Stories’, ‘Influencing with Visuals’ and ‘Presenting Data Visually’. I also travel around the world delivering impactful keynotes on storytelling. I love sharing my storytelling skills with The Presentation Company’s corporate clients, including Meta, Hewlett Packard, Boston Scientific, Medtronic, Nestle and many more.
