Catherine Robinson
Executive Coach | Leadership Facilitator
Catherine Robinson, M.Ed., PCC
I’m a life-long learner, passionate about personal and professional development and eager to work with others who want to learn and grow. In my previous career, I served in a variety of leadership positions in the biotech, pharmaceutical, and non-profit industries. Though I thoroughly enjoyed many of these roles, I now recognize that it was in those moments that I facilitated the development of others that I would truly light up.
I appreciate my corporate journey as now I can draw on first-hand experience in performance management, leadership development, and client relations during coaching engagements. My current areas of interest include exploring strengths and values, confidence/inner critic challenges, career transitions, and managing work/life integration.
I am known for my approachable, practical, and insightful style. Adding a good dose of humor to my work I enjoy both working with groups and coaching individuals to gain insight, direction, and lead fuller lives. Outside of work, I love reading and traveling with my husband and two teenage daughters. As North Carolina residents, we are fortunate to have easy access to the beach and the mountains!
I can’t wait to you meet you!

"Connection is the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgement; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship."
