Executive Coaching, and more specifically working with Cathy Gaynor – has been one of the biggest influences on my professional career to date. Her ability to be objective combined with her keen understanding of emotional intelligence had me looking at day-to-day business exchanges from an entirely different point of view from day one. The process has allowed me to evaluate my interactions with direct reports and management and ensure that I am working in a way that maximizes our overall productivity and perhaps more importantly, our workplace rapport. Executive coaching has allowed me to approach opportunities head-on and not shy away from crucial conversations. It has reminded me that I am the sole arbiter of my success and that it is only I who can create my future opportunities.
I would recommend that anyone considering executive coaching leave all preconceived notions at the door and fully commit to the experience. Cathy Gaynor has been an incredible guide in the business world, and I look forward to continuing my work with her.
