Meet Catherine

Hi, I’m Catherine

The Wayfinder in Me

One of my favorite roles as a coach and facilitator is “Challenger” . My happy place is in the sandbox with my team and my clients, challenging beliefs, recreating narratives and  blazing new trails. When I see a crowd of people going in one direction, I want to know what it’s like to go the other way. Not because it might be easier, but because it’s likely unexplored and I’ve got to know what’s there for us.

Career Highlights

I am an ICF-certified professional coach with decades of leadership and entrepreneurial experience across diverse industries. With over 1600 hours of coaching experience supporting individuals and groups, I have also designed and facilitated numerous leadership development programs including a regional group coaching program for new leaders .

Foundational to my work is the belief that my clients are capable, resourceful and whole people, able to discover the mindset or behavior shifts that are best for them. By facilitating the conversation, offering observations and supportively challenging, I offer them the rare space to build self-awareness, unlock new insights and use them to move forward in their leadership journey.
