Creating workplaces
I’m Catherine Bachy, and my clients hire me to help them be more effective, compassionate, and skillful leaders and to help them create high performing teams.
For the last fifteen years, I’ve helped leadership teams + individuals translate big, obscure ideas and tough, real world problems into clear, doable tasks + easily navigated plans.
Your organization and your life are already amazing.
Together, we’ll make them more so.
I’m Catherine Bachy and I help leaders develop into the confident, compassionate and visionary leaders they want to be.
I offer individual executive coaching in leadership development. I also facilitate strategic conversations with teams to help them get on the same page and get clear about their vision and purpose and the steps to take to achieve their goals.
Leadership Development became a passion of mine after a decade of working for a ubiquitous Fortune X company. I saw and experienced first-hand great leaders emerge through complex and challenging situations and I developed an understanding of the qualities necessary for inspiring and skillful leadership. I believe that inspiring and compassionate leadership can transform our workplaces, our businesses, our communities, our institutions and our world.
My work with leaders gives them the opportunity to have a more profound impact in the world.

“How does your culture call out the best in you and your team so that you inspire excellence in each other?” As an organizational consultant and meeting facilitator I notice how groups begin meetings. What does the beginning look like? When do the meeting participants know that the meeting has begun? What signals or clues or rituals indicate: “It’s time to stop chatting and talk about what care about.” Beginnings set the tone and expectation of what we are going to talk about and how we are going to talk about it. Sometimes meetings begin with an “ice breaker.” And facilitators ...

Seven Principles for Courageous Conversations
It’s an honor to hold the space for leaders to speak their truth in times of disagreement or conflict. What seems to embolden and inspire courageous conversations is a shared higher purpose and vision for the work of the team. Successful teams know that without the courageous conversation their work will stall and stutter and lack authenticity. They know they must traverse the choppy waters before they can get to the smooth sailing. In the past couple of months I have facilitated courageous conversations with leadership teams. And this is what I have learned as guidelines for having conversations that ...
