In Their Words
What Clients Say.
Reflections from executives, technologists and leaders on what changed for them through coaching.

Investing in Cathy as a career coach was the best decision I made after being impacted by a company downsizing. She leveraged her executive experience to assist me in navigating the next steps in my professional career. Not only did she provide invaluable advice on how to highlight my strengths in a resume, she offered strategies which helped me silence the voices of doubt in my head — positioning me to compete more effectively in the Information Technology job market. I highly recommend her services.

Executive Director, Information Technology Risk & Controls
Cathy was instrumental in helping me find the confidence to make a much needed career change. Every time we met she helped clarify what my next steps could be and gave me expert advice on how to approach tasks such as updating my resume and reaching out to potential employers. When I became stuck or discouraged, Cathy got me back on track by reminding me of my personal values and reasons for wanting a more fulfilling and satisfying work life.

Vice President, Performance Engineer
I had the pleasure to start working with Cathy when she was assigned as my coach. She showed me the true value in coaching. She helped me understand and discover my goals — and helped me realize at times I was my own road block. Her coaching enabled me to articulate and follow an action plan to achieve success. Her thoughtfulness, attention to detail and focus on the individual is amazing. The passion she has for individual development is contagious.
Brian C.
Senior Technology Executive
To claim the position of Managing Director I had to learn a new mental discipline. Every senior leader is faced with an inordinate number of challenges — technical, personal and political. The answers were inside me, but I couldn’t identify and focus on them quickly enough. Cathy improved my management of my own mental resources. She taught me how to channel appropriate energy to key challenges in critical time windows without having my strengths sapped by innumerable lesser issues.
Steve Neiman
Managing Director, Distinguished Engineer, Chief Technology Officer
Working with Cathy helped me in ways that I wouldn’t have thought possible. She is a true partner who was supportive and always on my side, but wasn’t afraid to challenge and push me to move outside my comfort zone. She helped me see the changes I wanted from my job and career and then worked with me to design steps to achieve them. Her energy and passion for helping others is evident.

Vice President, Risk Technology
I have had the pleasure of knowing Cathy as my coach, mentor and friend for many years. Whilst at JPMorgan, Cathy provided me with excellent coaching that paid dividends not only during my career there but subsequently as I pursued several career opportunities. Cathy is the consummate professional who works with some of the most senior leaders in industry. She operates with the highest levels of integrity and I have no reservation in recommending her to any leader looking for professional coaching.
Vince S.
Chief Technology Officer
Cathy’s professional, thoughtful coaching really helped me organize my thoughts about my career, and allowed me to set a path that better suited my own interests and disposition. Her structured approach and thoughtful questions allowed me to step back from the day-to-day and really think strategically about direction. Through coaching, Cathy has had a big impact on my career.
Ben G.
Vice President, Senior Technologist
I worked with Cathy as part of a corporate training programme. Through the period of the programme Cathy helped me deal with some of my social anxiety issues. The skills I learned working with Cathy allow me to deal with the problem, and so perform better in my job and get recognition from senior management.
