Catherine led the Soundcheck Research Project, the most comprehensive research on mental health and workplace culture in the Canadian music industry, drawing on more than 1,200 music workers across the country. 84% said their current work environment does not support their mental health and well-being. What it reveals applies to any high-pressure workplace: how people are led shapes whether they thrive, and leadership is a skill that can be learned.

What clients say

At short notice, Catherine joined us to design and deliver multiple sessions on leadership for a select group of university student leaders. Her talks were not only dynamic and engaging but insightful and impactful, anchored in her lifetime of diverse personal experiences, sound scholarship and deep personal reflection. She inspired students to reflect on who they are, and who they aspire to be, not only as leaders but as human beings.

Working with Catherine has been a truly transformative experience. She helped me shift my mindset around what leadership can look like and gave me tangible tools to lead in a way that feels authentic, intentional, and aligned with my values.
Alicja StasiukMarketing Director, Luminato Festival
My organization had embarked on a new strategic plan and many of the staff were reluctant to change; morale was down and staff departures were up. Catherine worked with me and my leadership team to engage with staff in a more reflective, collaborative way so that they could embrace the change rather than be fearful of it. Leveraging both the art and the science is what makes Catherine's work so powerful and, ultimately, so successful.
