Living Forward Coaching
About
“What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.” - Richard Bach. Change is never easy. And gut-wrenching, soul-siphoning transformation can seem unsurvivable. Yet this is precisely how we rebirth ourselves. And, it's what I love most about being a coach.
As an ICF certified coach, I bring 30+ years of professional experience -- in coaching, human resources, training, consulting, and management. Having worked in traditional corporations, not-for-profit organizations, governmental entities, and as an entrepreneur, I have conducted over 1500 hours of life, academic, professional and executive coaching.
I have also completed 250+ hours of formal coach training through recognized ICF training programs. I bring a high tech / high touch approach to each coaching relationship -- to ensure that each coachee attains his or her goals, and to empower him or her to navigate decisions more confidently.
So... what do I love most about my work? Putting my experience and training to use to empower you -- my clients and coachees -- to achieve the life of your dreams.

We have been working with cathy for some time now. She was initially contracted to work with the CEO, because of their progress, she is also now working with several members of our management team. Cathy is consistent, honest and has a gifted ability to provide guidance in various situations. She is an essential part of assisting our leadership grow. She has enhanced our communications, and helped us standardize methods of effectively motivating our employees. She's is not just a coach, she's a work / life adjustment specialist.

I could not have imagined what a difference my coach, Cathy Winterfield, has made in my life. Being retired, my goal was to enrich my life and make a positive impact on how I spend my days. Cathy has opened my eyes to using my strengths and gently and professionally helped me improve areas of weakness. I am learning to empower myself through our observations and my coach's keen positive encouragement. I highly recommend Cathy Winterfield to you as an expert in her field. P.S. My husband says she's worth a million bucks:)

The work I did with Cathy was invaluable to my job search. She has a gift for both tweaking the little details and helping me to focus on the big picture. She is great at providing encouragement, yet stretching her clients through gently challenging them. She is very nurturing, yet is adept at moving into a practical, no-nonsense ("New York Cathy") mode, and is good at recognizing which approach best serves the situation. In our sessions I felt valued and heard. Most importantly (at least to me), she provides perspective and context which helped to calm me down when I was feeling particularly anxious or vulnerable throughout the job search process. I highly recommend Cathy for anyone who is looking for help with a job search or for general life/career coaching. Thank you Cathy!
