About Catherine I have been teaching and coaching across the country for over ten years. My passion for teaching organically evolved into my coaching practice during the mid-90's. I enjoy executive coaching; however, my first love is assisting people in creating a happy life which includes solid relationships. I have been attentive to strengthening my own personal foundations to attain a lasting health in all areas of my life.
I live in Long Island, NY and split my time between NY and Atlanta, GA. I'm an avid reader, deeply enjoy people, dancing and feel blessed to have had and continue to enjoy a full life.
I created Perspective's Program™, a focus program to examine self-esteem, the contributions our past makes in our present lives, and how to move forward carrying less hurt and creating more joy. I have presented several weekend seminars over the years including The Ninefold Path Seminar™, Lifelong Service™, and Creation Challenge™.
Education I have a degree from University of Florida in Psychology, am a Coach University graduate of their standard and advanced programs. I also earned two levels of certification from CoachU and the ICF. I am certified by the International Coaches Federation as a PCC.
Please make sure your sound is on.
Certification I'm a great believer in quality service. Coaching has professional standards set by the International Federation of Coaches. These standards and the ICF's Code of Ethics are a governing body of coaches worldwide. As a coach, you may become a member of the ICF by paying a fee, however, to be credentialed by the ICF is a multi-year process. Many coaching schools offer certification as part of their graduation which could be earned in 48 hours to six months. The ICF is the only independent worldwide quality control body that exists for coaches.
In seeking a coach, I would highly recommend a coach who has gone through the rigorous testing and completion of criteria in order to be certified by the ICF. Don't settle for less! It's your life and make sure you have access to a professional who is able to provide good quality service.
Future Goals
I will continue to upgrade my skills as a coach. I am in the process at the moment of pursuing my MCC level of certification. With certification, I must also complete continuing education criteria to maintain my certification levels. I'm looking forward to expanding my knowledge.
