Cathy helps professionals in the A/E/C industry build the skills to become people centered leaders who then can lead teams with health, creativity and innovation as key metrics for keeping our country’s economy strong and healthy. This attitude allows both men and women to contribute their unique skills and talents together so that everyone in the organization thrives.

Cathy believes that companies today are made up of teams and “healthy” teams are the fuel that drives organizations to deliver on their strategy. A team’s collective wisdom and experience impacts communities, people’s health and the planet while still maintaining profitability. “Healthy” leaders have the skills and tools to corral groups of passionate and smart people who can work together to make a difference.

From the virtual world to the stage Cathy is a teacher at heart and combines her twenty-six years of experience in healthcare and commercial project management with a MA in Experiential Health and Healing. From a young age health has always been a priority for Cathy. She has a keen understanding of how poor health affects ones’ perspective and performance. Her goal is to motivate teams to plan for the health of people and the planet while maintaining or exceeding performance objectives. She creates inspirational programs that include the power of people centered leadership, the importance of positive mental wellness, healthy collaboration, connection, caring and listening to your team.
