About Catherine
Catherine has been sharing big ideas with audiences large and small for the last two decades with warmth, humour and honesty.
When a working holiday in Japan in 2001 revealed her hidden passion for teaching, training and coaching, she embarked on a career journey that has seen her embrace sharing leadership and performance improvement inspiration with people from all walks of life. She passionately believes that good business can change the world and is a living example of that as a Certified B1G1 Business Member and Speaker for Good.
Sharing messages of hope, inspiration and resilience in business, Catherine’s work centers on applying the science of Positive Psychology with leaders and their teams, using brain-based behavioural change to create environments where people can flourish.
Adding Extra Impacts
Her calling to stand on stage and share beautiful music began at just 5 when she first stepped in front of a crowd to sing. Now she has traded her songbook for the latest research on what helps people thrive in life, and she transports her audience to dream of better workplaces and communities through positive leadership.
Catherine is frequently invited to speak at global conferences and positive psychology summits, as well as leadership forums, universities and private events in all sectors. Catherine’s warm delivery, down-to-earth approach and drive to make a difference is a breath of fresh air and leaves audiences inspired.
Catherine believes that positive change starts from the heart and works to help leaders and teams find the courage to face their challenges, do the work needed to create environments of excellence and bring out the best in each individual in an organisation.
Through her work at Bell Training Group, Catherine provides Keynote Speaking, Facilitation, Coaching and Consulting services and brings her unique blend of science and heart to every interaction.
