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.
