Hi, I'm Cathy Johnson

I've lived in Singapore since 1998. Asia has been such a huge part of my life. And I love it here. But I grew up in the south-eastern part of the USA (think Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina). After I got my MBA I moved to New York City where I worked as a management consultant specializing in marketing and communications. Consulting took me to Chicago, and my relationship brought me to Singapore. I particularly enjoyed working with people across industries and nationalities, and of course I still do that now. At home we have a miniature dachshund named Pipsqueak.

Cathy Johnson's Sweet Pea

Meet Pipsqueak

She's our puppy, and while she has nothing to do with my business officially, you and I could be online together and she might interrupt us. So I wanted you to meet her, too. Of course for those online events where I am super focused, Pipsqueak is kept upstairs and away from my office. She's named after the smallest Bar-ba-loot in Dr Seuss's The Lorax (all our dogs have been named after cartoon characters). She's a great reminder that not all everything is about financial success, but often more about relationships - and especially so in my facilitation and coaching work. She's such a sweet puppy; I wanted you to meet her. 

Organizations I've worked with

I'd be happy to chat with you about the results I've achieved with the organizations I've worked with. Here are some of them: Barclays, Sony, Aon, Citibank, Microsoft, Roche, Rolls-Royce, Deloitte, Paypal, Google, Honeywell, HSBC, Rio Tinto, MasterCard, National Australia Bank, Publicis, Shell, Arup, Singapore Tourism Board, Attorney-General's Chambers, Aviva, BASF, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Singapore Police Force, Villeroy & Boch, Daimler/Mercedes-Benz, SingTel, TMF Group, Standard Chartered Bank, BBH, TripAdvisor, United Technologies, Unilever, VMware and Visa.

Needed: authentic conversations

People can get stuck due to a lack of clarity or because they're avoiding tough conversations. Or because they're unclear about the tough conversation. Whatever.

Now, that conversation could be with yourself or your spouse or with your team, but what's important is that the conversation is real, impactful, and helps you get to where you need to go. That's what I'm passionate about: helping people move forward.

How I'm engaged to help

My clients engage me to do 4 key things.

For individuals, I'm engaged to help them get clarity and challenge barriers so that they're no longer stuck, but are more able to shine. My training sessions equip leaders with the skills of having tough conversations that help with performance management, delegation, accountability, and much more. When facilitating group conversations, the focus is on clarity and alignment. And my keynotes help mindsets shift to better embrace personal and organizational change.
