“I have to say, over my career as an EAP I’ve seen similar presentations and honestly have never been impressed by them. Yours was excellent. PowerPoints weren’t a wall of words; you included available research with citations, you covered the topic from various viewpoints and spoke to your EAP audience very appropriately, and your perspective was not limited to the US.”

“Catherine’s presentation with Paycor Summit was truly wonderful! I find myself in complete agreement with other attendees who labeled it as the BEST presentation of the Summit. In fact, I’d go a step further and say it’s one of the BEST presentations I’ve been part of in years! Catherine’s content and the delivery thereof were exceptional. Her ability to speak, share, advise, and capture attention is truly remarkable. It’s evident that she possesses a unique talent for making a significant impact through her presentations. Kudos to Catherine and the entire team for such an outstanding contribution to the Summit!”

“I met Catherine about 17 years ago, when she was starting her business: her presentation was memorable. So much so that when someone mentioned abrasive leaders, she’s the only person I could think of as an expert on that topic. I was beyond excited when Catherine agreed to present for our local HR Chapter!

Catherine delivered a phenomenal webinar for the Santa Barbara Human Resources Association on coaching abrasive leaders and securing leadership buy-in. Her insights were both eye-opening and highly practical, equipping our members with real-world strategies they could implement immediately. The response has been overwhelmingly positive—attendees were grateful for her engaging style, deep expertise, and actionable guidance. Many have already shared how applicable her session was for their work.

We’re incredibly grateful for the impact she made and highly recommend her to any organization looking to tackle tough leadership challenges with confidence and clarity.”

“I was a young attorney when one outcome of the Watergate scandal was the introduction of mandatory MCLE requirements, prompted by the number of lawyers who had become cogs in a corrupt wheel and were ultimately incarcerated.

Since the late 1980s, I have completed countless harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and other compliance trainings. Yours was the most engaging and congenial.”

“Catherine’s webinar for the PIHRA Long Beach Chapter was truly exceptional. Her perspective on developing middle managers to create stronger, more positive workplaces really resonated with our audience. You could feel the impact in real time. Her approach is thoughtful, practical, and grounded in real experience, and she has a natural way of connecting through stories that make the message stick.

What stood out most was how genuine and engaging she is as a speaker. She doesn’t just present content, she creates an experience that draws people in and gets them thinking differently about their role as leaders.

Working with Catherine and her team was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. The care, intention, and professionalism she brought to this session did not go unnoticed, and our members walked away with real, actionable value.
