Cathy (she/her) works with people and organisations to create inclusive, healthy and more productive workplaces that work for everyone.

A renowned leader, speaker and communicator, Cathy blends curiosity and empathy with deep cross-sector experience. She prides herself on helping people move out of stressful situations to create human-focused workplace cultures where compassion and connectedness – and people – are encouraged and valued. 

Cathy has led organisations across a range of industries including Engage for Success (the UK’s movement for Employee Engagement), and has helped to transform many more through her work as Capability Brown, and most recently at Management Geek. 
Cathy carries her personal experience of neurodivergence into the solutions she co-creates with her clients, through conversations, commitment and curiosity - helping them to manage themselves and their teams in ways that work for everyone. 

The human brain is an amazing thing. But how often do we think about the conditions it needs to perform at its best? Are we even aware when our brains are exhausted and in need of a break? 

With a focus on mindfulness, neuroscience and coaching, I'm interested in creating working environments which support our basic human needs. This opens up the possibility of turning work into something that's good for us, that makes us happy, and allows us to achieve our true potential.
