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.
