“I have worked with Catia for many years in leadership development and cultural change programs in global organizations. She has a great knowledge of methodologies of consultancy and human transformation and is someone that generates trust and credibility for her professional capacity and for her ethics in the relationships. She is an excellent partner as a consultant, facilitator and senior coach.”

“What makes Catia’s coaching support impactful is the combination of up-to-date methodologies with her competency to connect to the executive personal moment. She pushes you to move from the status quo and start looking things from a new perspective. After stimulating new scenarios creation, she proposes a practical path to move on. Effective and result oriented as it has to be. Leading a group change or individuals, Catia has the science to adapt herself and identify blind spots to be addressed.”

“What delightful moments I could experience with you in our face to face seminar, all the activities and "coaching" advice, questions and insights during the chapters were rich and really made me look to several things in a different perspective, especially to see myself in another way; in other words to really challenging my sense of self and some unquestionable truths to change, adapt and grow”

“Catia is an excellent Coach, very trustworthy and with a great capacity to listen openly. She supported me strongly in adapting to a new culture in my first year in Brazil and challenged me to reflect on the connection between my attitudes and the response I was getting. Besides that, she helped me in creating and implementing a plan focused on achieving my professional objectives. At our monthly meetings, she brought to the table very valuable elements that I could insert in my daily routine and that were key to make me become more effective as a leader of my team."
