I was fortunate to meet Catherine by chance at a time when Executive Coaching was at the top of my mind. My career was taking an important turn and there were some key leadership attributes that I felt I needed to gain a deeper awareness of, and in particular, understand my personal strengths and areas requiring development.  By obtaining this heightened awareness I was able to interact and make decisions from a different perspective and with greater confidence.  In addition, Catherine guided me through the development of a detailed career plan that provided me with targets and indicators to measure my own success. I am grateful to Catherine for sharing her own career experiences and for her deep insight and compassion.  

Catherine was instrumental in designing and leading a professional learning experience for our group of Australian Education Leaders on our recent visit to Ontario. Given that our group comprised both school principals and system leaders, we were appreciative of the broad and engaging program Catherine developed. Catherine skilfully facilitated an engaging and informative day’s program, providing just the right blend of academic challenge, research evidence and rich examples of practice. She interacted proactively with the group and was flexible with both pace and content. I greatly appreciate Catherine’s professional approach and wealth of experience which she so generously shared.

Catherine’s workshop on Emotional Intelligence is informative and engaging while providing opportunities for self-reflection and evaluation. Catherine possesses the wonderful combination of academic pedigree and practical credibility as a leader, presenting as both an extremely knowledgeable presenter and a curious co-learner. As such, she connects with the group in relevant and tangible ways. Her enthusiasm is infectious and engaging. Catherine challenges participants to not only understand themselves more through Emotional Intelligence, but to recognize how their practice is impacted on a day to day basis. I look forward to future opportunities to work with Catherine and highly recommend her for any business or academic organization.

I have always believed EI is an essential part of who we are and how our lives are shaped by our responses to others.  In all our varied life roles I'm convinced that it is our EI that has the most impact in our circle of influence.  Thank you for the excellent resources and for sharing your insights.  I thrive on inspiration and innovation....(not moved by "drive by" PD).  It was refreshing to have a professional development session that invited self reflection.  You re-ignited a spark for me!
