for me as a leader and founder. She pushed me outside of my comfort zone in the best way and helped me clearly define my goals and actually achieve them. Through her guidance, I learned how to confidently lead a team, create effective processes, and build systems that support both growth and accountability. I’m a stronger, more intentional leader because of her.

With Cathy’s coaching, I’ve changed my mind-set and am now leading with a brain-based approach. That adjustment has had a profound impact on my business, my approach and my employees. No one joins my leadership team without going through one of Cathy’s courses. Every team retreat involves her guidance. I’m a forever believer in what she does!

in two pivotal chapters of my career. She first supported me as a consultant and later as a mentor who helped guide me into my current role at Stonewall Kitchen. Cathy brings a rare combination of strategic thinking, practical execution, and authentic leadership. She asks the right questions and delivers clear, actionable guidance. She consistently challenges me to think bigger and believe in myself.

- Stacie Fowler, VP of Sales, Gift and Specialty

Her coaching style is firm and confident, but she guides you to growth rather than preaching to you about how to get there.  It is amazing, because as she works with you to figure out what needs to happen within your business, you are also gaining the tools to apply to future opportunities and obstacles that may come up.  She is my most important resource.
