Sandra McLean
As President of Zonta Club of Brisbane I feel strongly that you need to give extra support to the board that are volunteering their time and skills to a not for profit - so it was wonderful to have Cathryn work with us over two amazing sessions using her insight, creativity and calm to guide us through this sometimes complex conversation. It feels more cohesive and trusting now for us to work together as a board to build a better world for women and girls. Thank you Cathryn
Andrew Simon
Cathryn delivered an insightful, fun and highly impactful session for my staff and associates recently on building a sense of fun into our work as coaches, consultants and facilitators. Cathryn was terrific to work with, came so very well prepared and delivered a session that people still talk about! More importantly Cathryn instilled a sense of confidence in everyone in being able to create meaningful fun experiences for our clients. I fully recommend Cathryn to any business or organization looking to help their staff be more confident and skillful in being creative and impactful and have fun at the same time!
Jane Angel
As a relatively new, nationally distributed team, I was looking for someone to facilitate connection, shared values and an alignment in our ways of working and output. Cathryn provided just that - she is business like but fun, has an intuition about the flow and pace of a team building day, is organised, flexible, knowledgeable and professional. Cathryn takes time to understand your requirements to ensure the exercises and outcome suit the culture of the team and the individuals within it - she was pitch perfect and I wouldn’t hesitate to employ Cathryn again. This was a high quality, value for money investment in our team and we have continued to reflect on our learnings in the weeks that followed our day with Cathryn.
