What People Are Saying

“I have to say, over my career as an EAP I’ve seen similar presentations and honestly have never been impressed by them. Yours was excellent. PowerPoints weren’t a wall of words; you included available research with citations, you covered the topic from various viewpoints and spoke to your EAP audience very appropriately, and your perspective was not limited to the US.”

What People Are Saying

“We were thrilled to have Catherine present a webinar for the National Human Resources Association on Embracing Human-Centric Leadership: Nurturing Growth, Empathy, and Authentic Connections. The session was thoughtfully structured and packed with meaningful insights. One of the standout takeaways for me was the Rewards & Core Values audit—it sparked new ideas for how we might implement similar strategies across our organization. I also found the segments on Delegating and Empowering especially impactful as I work to strengthen my team in preparation for our next phase of growth.”

What People Are Saying

“I met Catherine about 17 years ago, when she was starting her business: her presentation was memorable. So much so that when someone mentioned abrasive leaders, she’s the only person I could think of as an expert on that topic. I was beyond excited when Catherine agreed to present for our local HR Chapter!

Catherine delivered a phenomenal webinar for the Santa Barbara Human Resources Association on coaching abrasive leaders and securing leadership buy-in. Her insights were both eye-opening and highly practical, equipping our members with real-world strategies they could implement immediately. The response has been overwhelmingly positive—attendees were grateful for her engaging style, deep expertise, and actionable guidance. Many have already shared how applicable her session was for their work.

We’re incredibly grateful for the impact she made and highly recommend her to any organization looking to tackle tough leadership challenges with confidence and clarity.”

What People Are Saying

Catherine is truly magnificent! Her work makes a tremendous difference for BIPOC people like myself. Thank you for your commitment to share your knowledge and expertise. I attended a webinar she did for the Paycor platform on the topic Emotional Intelligence (EQ). It changed my life in the most profound way! And the resources that she shared are so magnificent and actionable! Tremendous thanks and I will continue to share Catherine’s content and recommend her without hesitation!”

What People Are Saying

“Our exclusively virtual programs don’t usually involve two-way conversation—we’re intentional about that, since the idea of someone going rogue off mute during a paid session is a little scary! But the way Catherine handled it was so well done. It was honestly eye-opening for the team. With the right person, this format can absolutely work. Catherine really nailed it!”
