Hi there!
I am Catia, and I help leaders shape culture from the inside out
Leadership coach, mentor and culture consultant. I help leaders listen beneath the surface, to themselves, their teams and the system around them, so culture is shaped by choice, not by default.
I’ve been where many leaders are: full of ideas and drive, yet overwhelmed and running on default. It was exhausting and frustrating.
I remember the never-ending to-do list, the feeling of drag and lack of power. Life was taking over.
At that point I was successful in the outside running my own PR business in Brazil, but feeling stressed and incomplete in the inside.
It wasn’t until I started looking inwards and realised that much of that stress came from my own thinking, not from outside, that I could do something about it and start changing my experience.
During my years at the Findhorn Foundation (a spiritual community and learning centre in Scotland) I came across Nonviolent Communication, the Work of Byron Katie and A Course in Miracles, among others. Living in the Findhorn community was the perfect setting to explore them deeply and put them into practice with groups and in my own life.
That was a game changer! No more blaming the world, but taking responsibility for my part in it. What a relief.
Helping others do the same has been my purpose ever since. In 2014, together with my husband, I co-created the coaching game [Miracle Choice](keep your existing link).
Today I bring these tools, together with systems thinking and years of facilitating groups, to leaders and organisations in the UK and Brazil: one-to-one coaching and systemic consulting.
Leadership that starts from the inside out can shape a culture that listens, learns, and holds failure as well as success.
