What Others Say
Coaching
"I have worked with Cathy for several
months. During that time my life has been in a state of transition. I
have been offered jobs internationally and have had to decide what is
the best move for me -- or whether to start my own business. My
thoughts, hopes and dreams were all constantly changing because I
really did not know what I wanted to do.
"Cathy has been so supportive and understanding
through all this from being an objective outsider, to being a great
sounding board. I have learned new insights into myself along the way,
and her great follow up call summaries provided a concrete list of
things to work on for the coming week so I could get clear on what I
wanted to achieve.
"I have now decided to pursue a long dream of
starting my own business and just beginning with defining the market,
my website, and all that I can offer. I must have driven her mad with
all the emails I have sent her requesting feedback on pieces I was
writing for my website. Her feedback was always concise and straight to
the point. She helped me make my writing have much more impact. She
gave invaluable feedback and got me to write from my heart and the
results were so much better.
Having an academic background myself I also
respected her integrity, depth of knowledge and wisdom gained from
years experience. She pointed out words in my language that were not
supporting what I wanted to do which I was not even aware of using. She
challenged me to set deadlines but also encouraged me to have fun and
take more time out which I very much needed.
Thanks Cathy for all you help, guidance and
support."

"Cathy offered expert guidance with my career exit
and reentry strategy as my husband and I planned a two-year
sabbatical." -- Barbara Clark, Baton Rouge, LA
"My goal was to develop and start executing a plan
to find a job. Cathy provided lots of positive energy - which
I needed - to help me start moving and gain clarity about what I
wanted to do. She also gave me many creative suggestions that
helped me open up my thinking. I'm well on my way after a month!"
--Julie E., Washington, DC
"In less than an hour, Cathy offered me some of
the soundest suggestions I could possibly have received as I find
myself in a career change mode. She listens well, assimilates
information quickly and knows how to get right to the issue at hand
with positive assistance. I felt extremely energized after our
conversation."-- Kenneth H., Philadelphia, PA.
"Working with Cathy Goodwin has been fabulous. I
came to her with one main goal: to put together a list of places where
I would love to live and to start to prepare to move there.
I was amazed. Within a very short time I had not
only completed my relocation goal, but I was starting on an important
long term goal. Long term goals always seemed so far away and nebulous
to me. It felt so good to know what I could be doing toward this long
term goal now and be excited about it.
"I also am well on my way toward living a life
that truly reflects me overall. Cathy has given me some wonderful tools
and resources. I highly recommend her, especially if you need a boost
to get you going. Working with Cathy came so naturally. It was really
an enjoyable experience." -- Sue S., Chicago
"You seem to have a great sense of keying in on
what is important." -- Ellen F., Fort Lauderdale. FL.
"You've helped me get a lot more focused." --
Carolyn M., San Francisco Bay Area, CA.
