Coaching

I am a leadership development coach. I work with individual executives to generate high performance through increased awareness of the choices they make and the impact of these choices on others, and on themselves. My work with leaders includes those taking on new challenges, moving in to positions at a more senior level and those working with Boards of Directors for the first time. Many of my clients are leaders who recognize that they need to build new capabilities, shift current mindsets or gain new insights to continue to be successful, or position themselves for future career growth. While I work with clients from many sectors and types of organizations, my own background as a lawyer positions me to understand the unique challenges of senior leaders in the legal profession.

Client Testimonials

Working with Catherine was a tremendous pleasure. She brings a rare combination of deep coaching skills and real-world senior executive experience to her practice and that combination means that she can be both supportive and challenging at the same time. Catherine is a great listener, understanding not only the surface of what is being said, but also digging in and seeing patterns that she can then challenge and identify. Using these skills, Catherine helped me to realize some of the negative paradigms that I had been operating with, and then helped me to change and build new paradigms that have given me a more effective approach. I highly recommend Catherine to anyone looking to improve their approach to work and to life.

– Senior Vice President & Chief Human Resources Officer

I always appreciated Catherine’s ability for “straight talk”. She would quickly assess where I was getting side-tracked and let me know in kind, yet direct, words to get out of my own way and focus on what I needed to accomplish. Her coaching was direct, insightful and empowering.

– Director

Catherine excelled at providing me with sound perspectives to keep objectives focused while clearing the self-imposed clutter. By asking questions, challenging assumptions and focusing my thinking, Catherine helped me identify barriers and provided coaching to assist my team effectively get past obstacles, many of which had been self-imposed, and deliver an outstanding project.
