with audiences to laugh, explore and engage in content. Cathy is a highly
energetic, experienced performer who has continually engaged audiences,
both as an NFL cheerleader in her college days and as a nationally sought
after speaker in her professional life. Her love of adventure has led her to
ski the German Alps, mush a dogsled in Alaska, hike the Incan Trail in Peru
and scuba dive in the Caribbean. Along with her willingness to take personal
risks, she devoted 22 years to education. In her various roles as teacher,
athletic coach and district wellness/employee assistance coordinator, she
studied the concepts of risk and performance in detail.
In 1992, Cathy took her most pivotal risk by launching her speaking business. She has helped thousands of people—from law firm administrators to health professionals to HR managers- stretch themselves further by handling the risky business of performance improvement, change, leadership and work/life balance with confidence.
