Catherine Duggan of Finding True North Coaching truly has been a light in the darkness for me. When I have needed guidance, Catherine has been there for me. She doesn't tell me what to do, but instead listens and offers ideas. She helps me to think through possible outcomes and offers practical, achievable steps I can take to accomplish my goal, however simple or complex. Catherine has been an important accountability partner for me; she helps to keep me on track in a gentle, encouraging way through regular check-ins using whatever technology makes sense at the time - phone, video, text, email. I live in Florida, and while some coaches might use this as a reason to not accept me as a client or to have minimal contact, Catherine leverages technology in a way that helps me feel extremely connected and valued. She celebrates my successes and gives me an extra push when I need it. For some people, their work is merely a job and they switch off at the end of the day. However, Catherine's coaching is her calling. She genuinely cares about the health, happiness and progress of others. She thinks of how to help you, even when you aren't in the middle of a coaching session. This may manifest in extra questions to learn more about your goals or a situation you've discussed with her, or she may share an exercise to help you think through a topic. Catherine's toolbox of resources is forever growing. She not only has the mind of a teacher, she has the heart of a sweet friend, even if you've just met. In full transparency, I have known Catherine personally for over 20 years and I have witnessed this in every situation I've seen her interact. She has a strong, authentic drive to help others. For awhile I have dealt with anxiety, and although this is not an area where Catherine had been previously trained, she reached out to a social worker on my behalf and researched tools that I could use when I felt anxious. She walked through them with me and followed up later to see if they were helpful or if we needed to continue searching for more information. Having some go-to actions I could take before, during and after an anxiety attack have helped greatly and have actually lessened the frequency of their occurrence. (Please note that coaching sessions with Catherine should not be used as a replacement for sessions with a licensed mental health professional; however, our coaching sessions, combined with regularly meeting with a licensed counselor have both helped me to work through issues and find support exactly where I've needed it. Our mental health is important and should be treated as such!) If you feel that you want to achieve more in life, but you need help discovering what that is, you feel stuck, or you already know the goals you'd like to accomplish but want a champion who will help keep you fired up to reach your potential, I highly encourage you to contact Catherine Duggan at Finding True North Coaching for a consultation.
