Greetings! I’m Cathy, a seasoned professional with over 30 years of experience in Human Resources. Although I cherished my career, the limitations of my role as a Director left me feeling disconnected from individuals, prompting a desire to assist them in uncovering their true selves and finding fulfillment in their careers.
Upon leaving my last position, I embarked on a new journey as a certified professional coach. Merging my extensive background in Human Resources with proven coaching success principles, I assume the roles of a success strategist, partner, and personal advocate for my clients.
Three decades ago, when I first stepped into the realm of Human Resources, the workplace was vastly different. From typewriters and white-out in the 80s to the advent of PCs and email in the 90s, technological advancements gradually transformed office dynamics. As efficiency increased, workloads expanded, and the 9-5 routine persisted.
The early 2000s introduced video conferencing, reducing the need for travel but intensifying office commitments. Amid technological progress and instant communication, companies prioritized asset security. By the mid-2010s, political influences further divided the workforce, overshadowing the ‘human’ aspect of resources.
The onset of COVID-19 brought unprecedented chaos. While remote work became a reality for some, not all had that option. Corporations, despite global uncertainties, continued demanding full workdays. As we strived to return to normalcy, I sensed a growing need to be a voice for workers – to truly listen to their needs.
This realization fueled my decision to transition from HR to coaching. Despite my love for HR, something was missing. I aspired to bridge the gap between corporations and employees, advocating for the true assets of any successful company – its people. Whether supporting the burnt-out individual seeking change, empowering a CEO to rally their staff, or guiding those ready to level up without a clear path, my mission as a professional and personal coach is to facilitate your journey to becoming the person you deserve to be.
Let’s embark on a transformative path together – I’m here to help you “bee moved” towards your personal and professional fulfillment.
