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.

Working with Catherine has been such a pleasure, as well as an invaluable learning experience. She has an innate ability to read both the big picture (and any related interpersonal dynamics at play) and the implications for the individual. She coaches with insight, experience and patience, looking to help people discover and deliver the best possible outcomes against their goals.

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

I was looking to make a career transition at an executive level, after being in the same industry for many years. It was great luck that Catherine was introduced to me, and I knew after our first meeting that she was the coach I needed. With her vast experience and guidance, I was able to package my career more holistically while showcasing proven skills, I developed invaluable tools and text for building my personal brand, and she provided expert support for specific interview skills I wanted to improve. Beyond the value-added she provided during my career transition, she was always extremely professional, kind, flexible and generous, which made her a pleasure to work with. Without her, I doubt I would have been able to jump into the deep-end so quickly.
