CATHY INTERVIEWED ABOUT HER APPROACH TO COACHING:
“Cathy was able to help me discover the pitfalls of not communicating effectively in a workplace – using base testing and analysis as a foundation, Cathy was able to help me put into practice some key things to improve collaboration among co-workers and business associates. This resulted in more project success and a general feeling of a job well done.”
–Senior Business Development Manager, Higher Education Industry
“During a recent companywide restructuring, which would be impacting me personally, I reached out to Cathy to help me position myself strategically in this new structure. She helped me articulate and define the multitude of ideas that were floating in my head into a concise strategy. Her extensive work experience and coaching helped guide me to the solution and helped me position it strategically to the executive team.”
-Regional Director, Retail Operations
“I was very fortunate to be introduced to Cathy by a mutual friend. I had been working for a ‘start- up’ company that imported wireless technology that enabled the management of electricity via internet. Our progress was steady but slower that required and the principal withdrew his support. What a shock! I needed a coach that would help me review the very good work that I have done in the past and then focus on identifying career categories where my expertise and contacts would be beneficial. Cathy enabled me to do this. I have surfaced with a fresh and up-beat attitude and have several opportunities that I am considering.”
