“Timing of the salon content today was great. The dialogue and takeaways will be very applicable and impactful in my practice..”

Raquel Ramon

“Through all three coaching sessions, Cate’s prompts helped me move from considering multiple career tracks (lacking focus) to narrowing down my focus to one. I received very helpful guidance on how to position myself as a board candidate and for identifying which types of boards to consider. I am grateful for Cate’s wisdom and guidance at a potential career change point.”

Athena Member

“This was truly delightful. Nick was an engaging guest! And Coco is a masterful facilitator and host. I enjoyed the conversational tone of the session and loved the way it felt like I was hanging out in someone’s living room, chatting with pals and sharing ideas. Just add a mimosa and throw pillow!”
