Support for thoughtful leaders and coaches navigating complexity, growth and meaningful change.

Services

I partner with leaders, teams, and coaches who want to grow with greater clarity and intention. My work creates a reflective space where insight becomes practical, meaningful action.

  • For leaders navigating complexity, transition, or growth and want to lead with greater effectiveness and humanity (not necessarily in that order).

    Together we explore:

    • Who you are as a leader

    • What may be getting in the way

    • What is ready to emerge next

    I bring both compassion and challenge to our work. Where helpful, we integrate a 360 assessment and other tools to deepen insight and accelerate development.

    Available as:

    • One-to-one coaching

    • Team coaching

    • Coaching circles

  • A rigorous, reflective, and deeply human space for coaches to examine their client work, professional identity, patterns, edges, and well-being. Bringing light to coaching issues lightens the burden and releases creative options for more meaningful work as a coach.

    Supervision supports:

    • Ethical practice and professional integrity

    • Greater self-awareness

    • Coach resilience

    • Ongoing development

    Our collaborative work in a safe place allows you to examine challenges in your coaching practice and who you are as a coach. I work with individual coaches and groups. Our conversations attend to both your client work and your humanity as a coach.

    In May 2026, I will complete a one-year Coach Supervision Diploma with the Coaching Supervision Academy, further strengthening my capacity in this work.

  • For teams aligning around strategy, navigating change, or strengthening culture.

    Engagements may include:

    • Facilitated dialogue

    • Team coaching

    • Team and individual assessments

    • Longer-term developmental work

    The focus is on strengthening relational capacity, clarifying shared goals, and sustaining momentum in complex environments.

  • Join me in a confidential facilitated circle for women to explore what’s challenging in your life right now. Whether it’s a change in living or work arrangements, a persistent feeling of loneliness, feeling overwhelmed with responsibilities, or a yearning for something meaningful in your life, a coaching circle is a safe and warm space to explore and grow.

    Circles of four to eight participants balance reflection, compassion, and mutual support. Past themes have included:

    • Still trying to do it all? Get the “me” back in my life!

    • What’s my next: a retirement that “works” for you

    • Evolving personal identity: who am I now?

    • Fresh Start: redefining relationships with adult children

    • Living alone – and thriving

    Available virtually or in person, indoors or outdoors. Shaped around participant needs.

    If you’re curious about forming a coaching circle, I’d love to talk.

What clients say:

“You enabled me to see what I was previously unable to see. Your thoughtful insight set me on a path I could not have imagined. Thank you, Cathy!

Andrew – public sector leader

“Cathy’s calm presence and insight grounds me so I can get down to the real work of seeing what’s in my blind spots. Why did I wait so long?”

Catherine – not-for-profit leader

“As coach and supervisor, Cathy and I have a true partnership. I feel seen and heard every time we meet. Our expansive space is so freeing, with a healthy amount of challenge.”

E.S. – Executive Coach
