"When you open the dictionary up to the word "inspirational", next to it you will find Cathy's picture! I have known Cathy for almost 16 years and each time we come into contact, I learn something new and walk away feeling motivated. Cathy had a tremendous career at Venturi Staffing Partners where we worked together for 8 years. She was a consistent exceptional performer turning in phenomenal results for every branch she ever managed. She continues to utilize her wonderful business savvy and inspirational leadership to help other companies achieve their objectives. Cathy is a professional colleague, a trusted advisor, and a dear friend and I proudly endorse her."

"Using Cathy and the DiSC assessments gave me that "extra special sauce" to be the manager that I have always wanted to be for my team, I am more productive and am able to communicate better (and faster) than ever before. My team also works together better as a cohesive group, enjoying their co-workers, both for their commonalities as well as their differences. Performance reviews were a breeze this year! Thanks Cathy!!"

"She took the time to grow a relationship with me that no other staffing service had done.  When a staffing need arose, I tried her service and was thoroughly pleased with the professionalism of her team and the process.  Long story short, I loved what I experienced working with Cathy, her team, and never used any other service.  This was a very high-performance team that Cathy grew and nurtured.  Each member knew they were valued; therefore, they were all committed and loyal - to Cathy and their clients."

Thanks so much for working with my employee. She felt that your suggestions and coaching were very helpful to her. She said that your knowledge of the market was very beneficial, particularly since I am not as familiar with the Austin market. I would recommend your training to anyone in the staffing industry!

We had a great time. I have had many people come to me and applaud your presentation.  Thank you once again for accommodating your schedule for our team.  I strongly believe the insight we all gained will help us grow and achieve success.

I want to write you again for the excellent DiSC® program that you presented to my law firm.  Three months later, I am still seeing tangible results. First and foremost, each of us has a better appreciation of our strengths and weaknesses as members of a team.  We also have more insight into how we react to stress of working in a busy litigation practice.  Your ability to warmly and professionally present information assisted team members in identify areas that they needed to improve upon.  I look forward to working with you again in the near future as my firm continues to grow.

I have known Cathy for approximately twenty years.  Whether providing staffing solutions or leadership training, Cathy always provides the highest level of service to our company.  Our employees find Cathy to be engaging, professional and understanding of their challenges regardless of their position in the organization.  Cathy consistently adds new information to her training which helps our team continue to grow. Many of our employees consider her to be a part of our organization and are very comfortable contacting her directly for advice and counsel.   I believe the trust our employees have in Cathy and their eagerness to continue learning provides the highest recommendation possible.

Cathy has mastered growing a business from start-up to high performing using proven methods that she learned and developed.  Cathy and I have been great friends for 32 years and we worked together in the same organization for 20 years.  I witnessed firsthand Cathy’s ability to achieve the agreed upon sales objective year over year.  There was not one year that the projected sales revenue goal was not achieved.

The strength of teambuilding is achieved through effective communication.  Cathy’s years of experience understanding that individuals’ personalities are different; they don’t respond to the same communication style was key to her consistent sales success, and in building high performing teams.

I can assure you that Cathy wants you and your organization to be more successful than you do!  She will work tirelessly to get to know you, your team and your company culture.  Time will be devoted to learning your desired goals and business objectives.  She will help you identify the “gaps” that need to be improved to achieve your business goals and desired outcomes.  

Cathy is a servant leader and conducts her business with the highest integrity and professionalism.  She is driven to create the best coaching/training experience for you and your organization. 

I highly recommend Cathy for executive one-to-one coaching, sales training, team building, and to partner with you to achieve an overall higher performing organization.
