“I inspire individuals to thrive in the face of change.”
• 20 years of managerial and executive experience at AT&T leading and coaching managers with expertise in finance, information technology, strategy, and operations. • 6 years in executive roles (Executive Director and CFO) in the education industry. • 10+ years as an executive coach, facilitator, and change management consultant.
I discovered my passion for coaching while attending Northwestern University's Coaching for Learning and Performance program. Working one-on-one with professionals at all levels with a variety of backgrounds and experiences has shaped how I approach coaching today.
“It has been such a pleasure working with you, and coaching with you, and learning from you. I knew when I first met you, that we'd be the right fit for each other. The way you led was exactly what I needed in the moment: frame, reframe, and then allow me to find the truth in myself. Your insights sparked creativity and ideas in me that I never had thought of, and for that, I am so grateful. Thank you for pushing me, encouraging me, challenging me to think bigger and wider, to explore areas I never had, to allow me to process, to encourage me to stand in the face of whatever was in front of me with strength and resilience, and most of all, for pushing me to be the better version of the per person that first began coaching with you. I just wanted to share my heartfelt appreciation and gratitude to you, for all you have taught me. It has been an absolute pleasure, and I am so grateful for us to have crossed paths.”
Global Chief Talent Officer
“Cathy was hired by my organization as my executive coach. From the beginning Cathy was clear with her outline of what our time would look like together as well as flexible to what my needs and goals were to come out of our sessions. I appreciated her approach throughout our sessions and felt that she had the perfect balance of understanding, listening, and pushing my thinking. At her core, I could feel Cathy’s investment in me as a leader and praised areas she felt I was doing well in but also opened topics with questions and strategies for me to reflect on my decisions and next steps. I also appreciated Cathy’s assignments. Although it was additional work, Cathy’s “homework”, really helped me to reflect, unpack, and deepen my understanding of my own leadership and approach. I have no doubt anyone can really get a lot out of their time with Cathy to improve their leadership. I would absolutely recommend her services to anyone.”
Director of District Partnerships
“Working with Cathy as my leadership coach has been an extremely positive experience. She is consistently friendly, flexible, organized, calm, and fully engaged in each session. From the beginning, she took the time to get to know me and understand my background, strengths, and goals before offering any learning materials or activities. Through our work together, I gained meaningful insights about myself, which have already improved how I approach colleagues at different levels and navigate complex, multifaceted situations. Her extensive experience and deep knowledge of leadership concepts were evident throughout our sessions, and her ability to work effectively with individuals at all levels of an organization made the learning process both accessible and impactful. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking to grow as a leader or develop greater self-awareness in a professional setting. ”
Lead Business Analyst - Technology, Practicce of Law Solutions
“I had the privilege of working with Cathy as my leadership coach over the past year while I transitioned from a junior quantitative analyst to a visible contributor on BAM's Commodities team. Cathy's impact on my development has been nothing short of transformative. With her support, I became far more confident handling a range of challenging working situations--from high-stakes presentations to cross-team collaborations--while remaining clear-headed under pressure. Cathy also helped me translate my broad development goals into a practical plan, complete with actionable steps that tie directly to my firm's values and business priorities. Cathy's perspective as a trusted sounding board outside my day-to-day workplace was very valuable. She combines strategic insight with empathetic listening, and I always left our sessions with fresh clarity and a concrete next step. If you are looking for a coach who can elevate technical professionals into influential, confident leaders, I highly recommend Cathy without reservation.”
