About Catherine

I started my career planning to be a professor. I wanted to research, teach, write, and change the world! I thought I could only do that as a university faculty member. I was wrong.

I’ve worked in the non-profit sector and on the staff side of higher education, helping clients at all levels from undergraduate through postdoctoral fellows and established professionals define career success.

In 2013, I launched CM Coaching Services. I have been blessed to collaborate with fantastic organizations in Canada & the US on career development projects for their students and highly qualified personnel (HQP). My individual clients are no less amazing, ranging from recent graduates to senior leaders across industries.

I couldn’t have predicted my career when I started. I didn’t even know that my profession existed, yet I couldn’t be happier with my choice. I want that same feeling for my clients.

Why We Are Different

01. Transferable Skills

Don’t underestimate their value, whether you have a PhD or not! I know how to organize and deliver career programming because I spent six years in the classroom teaching multiple courses.

02. Failure

Yes, I count this as a gift, but I did want to give it back at the time. After I graduated, I couldn’t get a job no matter how hard I tried. I read the books, scoured the job boards, and submitted hundreds of applications.

03. Understanding

I know what it’s like to feel lost in your job search, or stuck in your career. Been there, done that (didn’t celebrate with a t-shirt, though). What can I say, I’m stubborn, and I had to learn the hard way.

Choosing a Career Coach

Whether this is your first time choosing a career coach, or you are looking to work with someone new, welcome. Choosing a career coach should be a thoughtful process, rather than a rush to the credit card.
