Hi, I'm Cath...
...and I believe you're capable of far more than you realise.
About Me
For over 30 years, I’ve been asking one question: What becomes possible when we stop settling for “good enough”?
The answer has taken me from physics classrooms to coaching rooms across the globe, from teaching teenagers about Newton’s laws to helping leaders discover their own laws of transformation.
Today, as one of only 4% of coaches worldwide holding the ICF Master Certified Coach credential, I work with leaders and coaches who are ready to move beyond survival mode into something extraordinary.
My Journey
I started my career as a Physics Teacher and became the first Advanced Skills Teacher on Merseyside – a distinction awarded to just 0.25% of UK teachers at the time. I trained over 5,600 educators and senior leaders, introducing coaching methodologies into schools across the country.
But my real education came from a harder lesson: After 25 years of trying to lead “like a man in a frock,” my body gave me an ultimatum. Coronary heart disease. The wake-up call I didn’t know I needed.
That experience transformed not just my health, but my entire approach to leadership and coaching.
What I Do Differently
I don’t believe in cookie-cutter coaching or leadership formulas. After three decades at the top of my profession, I’ve developed tools and techniques that focus on what I call the “essential non-essentials” – the things most people overlook that actually make all the difference.
Whether I’m mentoring coaches toward their ICF credentials (100% success rate), guiding leaders through my Lead Like a Woman programme, or facilitating transformational experiences in Tuscany, my approach remains the same: deep, authentic work that creates lasting change.
My Work Today
Through programmes like The Coaching Adventure, The Group Coaching Excursion and my ICF Accredited Coach Development and Mentoring Programme, I help people discover what becomes possible when they stop pushing through and start leading from their authentic power.
