She has developed and implemented strategic sales and marketing programs with proven success rates for small to mid-size companies and organizations of 150+ members.

“I did not have the opportunity to work with a mentor when I built my first two businesses. I wish I had. Everything I’ve learned has been through trial and error, a desire to learn and succeed; and the ability to ask for help. I am a firm believer in ‘Knowledge Shared is Success Magnified’.”

In addition to coaching clients in her private practice, Cathy is also the founder of The Connected Woman Association, an organization supporting entrepreneurial women that encompasses many industries, levels of experience and diverse backgrounds. TCWA has developed a dynamic networking model that allows women to go “Beyond the Business Card”® to build strong personal connections resulting in even stronger business alliances.  For more information visit TCWA’s website www.theconnectedwoman.com
