Welcome to MassiveCourage.ca

We are living in increasingly challenging times.

But how people respond (including leaders)

can make things more challenging.

​

Power-people are protecting their interests and blocking change.

People who want different results, often don't know how to leverage the power they do have.

​

This is frustrating. Scary. And lonely.​​

​

To create meaningful change - in you life or business -

you probably need to develop new ways of responding.

You can create much more positive impacts if you learn how.

​​​​​​​

To change how you do things requires courage,

sometimes Massive Courage.

 

Courage requires:

  • curiosity (asking good questions with bravery)

  • joyfulness (leveraging your power for a purpose)

  • playfulness (co-learning and co-creating what is possible)

​​​

Massive Courage is courage scaled up for the bigger challenges we face.

​​

With courage, you can create impact.

With Massive Courage, you can create massive impact.

My Story

Hi! I'm Cat.

​

I have helped hundreds of business leaders create unprecedented results.

​

My focus now is on helping a range of leaders increase positive and profitable impact on people, nature, and business. 

 

With an Executive MBA, as a professor of business strategy, and as a coach to innovative business leaders, I have a unique perspective. I can see why so many leaders are struggling to respond to increasing volatility and uncertainty.

​

In addition to my education and work experience, I've also had an unusual life, which seems to have prepared me for our current uncertainty.

  • I grew up in a small cowboy town, but throughout my life I've lived in a variety of cultures: from farms and ranches to major Asian cities to European ski and sail resorts.

  • I've had a lot of fun. But have also had major challenges in my life, including serious abuse throughout my childhood, resulting in injuries I am finally figuring out how to heal from.

  • I have worked in 5 countries in a few different industries (different areas of finance, the entrepreneurial high-tech ecosystem, academia and education, etc).

 

Because of my experiences, I became a bit of a 'rebel with a cause'.

  • I push back on 'rules' that prevent learning and change. We need to foster genuine connection and develop ways of effectively challenging the things that are not working.

  • ​I learned to work with my fear, terror, anger and other emotions, which increased my courage. I want others to learn the power and value of their emotions so they too can create much more of what is possible.

  • To survive some situations, I had to be creative and resourceful. My entrepreneurial mindset allowed me to survive and thrive in so many other environments. This mindset makes life so much richer, and I want others to discover the power and the joy that can come from it.

​
To understand how my education and experiences help leaders achieve unprecedented results, I researched entrepreneurship, adult learning, neuroscience, etc, and developed a new behaviour change model.

 

My Massive Courage Model (curiosity, playfulness, and joyfulness at scale) is the basis of much of the work I do now.​

If you want to increase your ability to create change and impact, I would love to speak with you to explore how we might work together.
