“Cathy Duvel was our steady hand and light providing individualised coaching in a high stress, high pressure environment with the company at stake. The team felt supported and competent to tackle our Everest thanks to Cathy’s advice, guidance and sometimes fearless holding up of the mirror. I am a more supportive and effective leader today as a direct result of Cathy’s executive coaching, which years later I am still benefiting from. Cathy gave me the tools I needed to embrace the whole me without judgment and do the same for my teams.”
