Testimonials
Cathy helped me go from someone who did not believe in executive coaching to someone who would recommend it to others.

Cathy was excellent overall. She helped me overcome some weaknesses that I now claim as strengths. She offered a non-biased viewpoint in many challenging situations and continually challenged me to operate outside my comfort zone.
John W.
COO
Cathy’s deep knowledge of the dynamics of family run businesses, coupled with her enormous empathetic heart are a lifesaver. Coaching allowed me to gain a deeper and more meaningful understanding, not only of my business, but of myself and my own family’s deep seated triggers and its effects on the business. I have new perspectives, tools and ways lead, but more importantly, I feel like a more whole and loving human being to myself and my children because of her. I am forever grateful.”

I've used coaches throughout my career, and by far, Cathy was the most sophisticated while being the most practical of the coaches I've engaged. She literally changed my entire thinking about the business - and created a new era of renewed energy and deep satisfaction with my calling to serve entrepreneurial leaders with our marketing services."
