  • “My time with Cathy has been nothing short of transformational. Having worked with her over a number of years and across multiple positions and organizations, she has helped me identify and truly understand my strengths and areas for growth. Cathy is an exceptional listener who offers insightful feedback, pushing me to grow through constructive dialogue and exercises – I have always felt supported and respected in our sessions. Working with Cathy has been a highlight of my career that benefits my professional work on a daily basis.”

    Rebekah, President & CEO

  • “Working with Cathy has been invaluable to my growth as a first time executive. She threads the coaching line perfectly where she gives me the confidence to trust my instincts but provides advice when I need more guidance. I love her holistic approach to coaching, understanding that my whole self shows up to the office. I truly feel like a different person since working with Cathy.”

    Jessica, Business Unit President

  • “Cathy has been instrumental in helping me think about the type of leader I want to become and how I can work to become that. She has been great in helping me understand how I show up in the eyes of others, especially in the eyes of my staff, and how I can better support them and their growth journey. She is a wealth of knowledge but also provides academic and rigorous research to buttress her feedback. She has provided numerous frameworks which I can use to grapple with real life business and management challenges.”

    Zheng, President

  • “Cathy taught me to stop saying “I’m worried” and instead say “I wonder” which reflects the shift in my mindset from negative and reactive to growth and curiosity.”

    Elizabeth, Senior Scientist and Director

  • “Cathy is an insightful executive coach and excellent thought-partner. I am grateful for her time, her smart questions and her dedication to her clients. I will employ the tools I developed with Cathy for the rest of my career.”

    Kim, Chief Marketing Officer

  • “Cathy does a tremendous job of weaving together attention to timely issues that I am dealing with this week and sustaining attention to the bigger picture and trajectory of my development. Cathy’s distillation of the material in the 360, combined with the way that she returns to these themes, has been very valuable for my own development.”
