“Catherine immediately created a safe and trusting environment and I felt myself open up and speaking much more than I normally do within the first session together…Catherine is knowledgeable, supportive, respectful and inspires much confidence. Her feedback has been constructive, particularly around public speaking skills, presentation and communication and she has genuinely celebrated my successes and breakthroughs along the way…I am very grateful for this experience and for Catherine.”

Executive, FOX SPORTS

“What I particularly appreciated about Catherine’s style and approach was that she adapted the sessions as we went along based on my questions and requests – and her assessment of where she felt I could benefit from more specific/detailed focus. She was super easy to connect with and work with, and the sessions enjoyable even though the process was challenging and confronting at times.”
