"I love coaching with Cathy. She pushes me to look at what I really want rather than always accommodating others. Coaching forces me out of the box - to look beyond what is in front of me. She is always present without judgment; I could go either way and she would support me making good decisions. Sometimes it feels like its obvious, but with guidance and structure, it’s much more than I can do for myself. I feel comfortable with Cathy’s style, her incredible insight and wisdom. She understands organizational and interpersonal dynamics. And I like being able to come back when I need to."
"Coaching with Cathy has given me a new sense of hope, of quiet but determined direction for my life. Her style of support and joy, honesty and challenge get me to look in places that are new and surprising. I didn't know I had all this in me! Analysis only took me so far...and I had really gotten to a sense of hopelessness with that approach. Coaching is helping me move, with understanding, but not being attached to understanding it all."
"Coaching has been helpful to focus my energy and my talents in almost all areas of my life. While it's often easy to plan, following through is harder. Cathy is exceptionally flexible, yet provides steady guidance for keeping me on the high road, moving toward the life I want to live. She constantly challenges me to stretch myself beyond my perceived limits, and provides tender yet highly effective wisdom and encouragement along the way. Sometimes we focus on immediate challenges I'm facing, and yet we always find time to strategize for the future, too. Working with Cathy, I have found the kind of work I love, and am reaching new goals in all areas of life."
"The value of coaching with Cathy was to have someone who was a sounding board with no other stake but to guide and make suggestions. Cathy’s affirming style works; her questions are very attentive to past conversations. She offers insight, listens and reflects well. She brought useful tools and structure to the relationship. Our cultural differences were not an issue for me. Coaching on the phone worked well with my busy schedule. Coaching helped me to establish clarity about what it is I am seeking. It gave me a lens to evaluate my options and figure out a way not to be complicit with old patterns. I find myself being more conscious, taking encouragement from small shifts and using proactive energy with confidence."
"Coaching is time every month that's just for me and nowadays that rarely happens. In Cathy, I also get a person who's 150% there for me, listening, challenging and stretching me - getting me to think about myself and what's important to me. The guidance and thinking together that coaching provides are largely what is directing my life now. It keeps me connected to everything that I really value and keeps me from getting sucked into the meaningless stuff that bombards us at every moment. Cathy Fellenz is an expert coach and has helped to make this past year a great one for me."
