What People Are Saying

  • “Catherine's approach into discovering and defining our “individual” values in a shared leadership team experience will serve as a valuable tool in our approach with each other moving forward. Her skillful guidance through this team-building activity provides a process to generate alignment while creating solutions together. Catherine’s kind and authentic facilitation style encourages intentional thinking, feeling, and acting on our personal core values in direct relationship to our organization’s values.”

    Torrie Taj, CFRE

    Chief Executive Officer, Child Crisis Arizona

  • “When I started the values workshop, I was primarily looking forward to knowing my coworkers on a deeper level and didn't necessarily expect a lot of new insight into myself. I was pleasantly surprised by what I gained!

    The most helpful part for me was learning to DEFINE the values that I already vaguely knew I possessed. I've found myself having many conversations with others about my own values and how they drive me, and the workshops have additionally given me insight into what drives the people around me. Catherine has a very natural way of engaging the group and encouraging those in the group to engage with one another. Highly recommend this experience!”

It’s hard to know what to say. And trust me, I considered saying nothing at all. I read through others’ posts - messages of grief, reassurance, commiseration, comfort, and hope - and it struck me that what you want to read today depen
Unless no one’s told you lately, voting matters. I snapped this photo (thank you NextGen America) last week while on ASU’s campus for a meeting. Surrounded by students just starting their efforts to create change thinking, ‘this

Behind every success is at least ten failures. In the early years of co-founding and growing Javelina, we said "yes" to almost everything. When a potential client asked if we could offer a specific service—whether we had experience o
