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.
What are my clients saying?
Catherine is a masterful coach, facilitator, and organizational consultant. Her presence and deep wisdom create the trust and the safety needed to create meaningful change in your system. Catherine’s skill in graphic facilitation brings strategic planning to shared understanding needed for successful execution.
Catherine truly came to know and care about me and my team, and her work comes from a sincere desire to help us thrive. I am very grateful for Catherine’s work with my team, for her advice and input to me personally, and for all that I have learned from her. I would hire her again without hesitation.
I trust Catherine. The tools she shares with me are elegantly simple, yet very powerful. Her toolset does not include a magic wand to erase my overly complex situation, but her simple exercises for moments of stress let me access my own smarts and abilities. And then I can trust myself.
Catherine is an expert listener and can translate chaos and jumbled feelings and situations into possible solutions and attainable goals. She is thoughtful and her drawings of our sessions provide a visual that I turn to often to see how far I have come and what I still need to do.

Engagement ~ What future will you stand for?
I’ve been thinking a lot about engagement these days. In the upcoming elections in the United States we are seeing a dramatic rise in new political candidates running for office and more voter participation than in the last 50 years. We see more protests and demonstrations of free speech, freedom to assemble, freedom to dissent. Citizens are engaging in the tools of a democratic system that are guaranteed them by a Constitution forged by the vision and principles of those who came before us. On the flip side there is also a trend towards dis-engagement. The 24/7 news cycle and ...

Mindfulness: Is it just a phase?
Mindfulness--we see the word attached to many commercial and educational products. It’s all the rage these days! How long can this last? Is there a risk that “mindfulness” will end up in a heap of passing fancies alongside lava lamps? Mindfulness practices are anchored in 2,500 years of mostly Asian spiritual traditions. Practices in mindful awareness and meditation have benefited people in reducing stress, in managing pain and chronic illnesses, in treating depression and anxiety, and in developing overall well-being and productivity. Research in neuroscience over the last 20 years has shown the benefits of mindfulness practices in a range ...

Facilitator's Corner: How do you begin meetings?
“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 ...
