Speaking and Workshops
Cathy is an accomplished speaker and workshop facilitator. Let her inspire your audience, convey your message, and impart actionable advice for driving your organization to the next level.
Need a high energy keynote or workshop on business planning, strategy, leadership development, management training for your new employees, grant-writing, fundraising, AI, culture- and community-building? Let Cathy deliver an experience - and toolkit - that your team members won’t soon forget.
Values, Culture, and Community are central to Cathy’s process. She’ll work together with you to understand “what problem are you trying to solve?” Then with a mixture of humanity, tools, experience, and anecdotes, she’ll develop a custom presentation or workshop perfectly suited to your needs.
Topics
Although I have developed presentations for each of these topic areas, I prefer to hear from you before offering a canned speech. Let’s work together to determine your goals. I’ll create a customized presentation or workshop that is perfect for your organization.
