Catherine has helped me to assess work relationship issues dispassionately and manage-up in a more authentic way in the context of a rather hierarchical institution. I can strategize how to navigate and abate conflict for win-win outcomes, and also apply useful day to day tactics. I am more comfortable in my skin at work and I put others at ease – this all leads to better creativity and productivity. Her deep knowledge of how big bureaucracies and development institutions work has been tremendously helpful. I look forward to my coaching sessions with Catherine much like I do with my personal trainer – and emerge from them both equally invigorated.
