What People Are Saying

  • “Catherine's approach into discovering and defining our “individual” values in a shared leadership team experience will serve as a valuable tool in our approach with each other moving forward. Her skillful guidance through this team-building activity provides a process to generate alignment while creating solutions together. Catherine’s kind and authentic facilitation style encourages intentional thinking, feeling, and acting on our personal core values in direct relationship to our organization’s values.”

    Torrie Taj, CFRE

    Chief Executive Officer, Child Crisis Arizona

  • “When I started the values workshop, I was primarily looking forward to knowing my coworkers on a deeper level and didn't necessarily expect a lot of new insight into myself. I was pleasantly surprised by what I gained!

    The most helpful part for me was learning to DEFINE the values that I already vaguely knew I possessed. I've found myself having many conversations with others about my own values and how they drive me, and the workshops have additionally given me insight into what drives the people around me. Catherine has a very natural way of engaging the group and encouraging those in the group to engage with one another. Highly recommend this experience!”

“What do you want to do for work?” — is the WORST question we can ask people about their future careers. Whether you’re asking a kid or a recent college graduate, it implies it’s something we should automatically know.

I still vividly remember this moment from 1997 as if it were yesterday. I’m 15 years old. Sat on the sofa with my Mum watching Clueless… crying my eyes out. Why? (Not because of the iconic 90s movie, though it wouldn’t have been
