Every story starts with a connection.

and 2024 has been a year of weaving new threads into our shared narrative.

From boardrooms to virtual spaces, from one-on-one coaching to vibrant group workshops, my clients turned connection into action in ways that continue to amaze and inspire me.

Let's unwrap the story of our year together:

Sparking change and connection…

1,266

ATTENDEES

1,266 people joined my workshops, keynotes, panels and coaching sessions this year. (That's enough people to play 158 simultaneous curling games. That would be one rocking bonspiel! 🥌)

30

TAILOR-MADE WORKSHOPS

I delivered 30 custom-built workshops for my clients this year. Because every organization's journey deserves its own spotlight.

NEW CLIENTS

A big hello to the 11 new organizations who partnered with me this year. 👋 New chapters unfolding - and what a privilege to be part of each one!

Here’s what a few had to say:

I felt like you put together a day that achieved all of the goals we discussed. The exercises were excellent, structured and productive without feeling like there was too much pressure. The workbook was an awesome addition.
— Claire McCaffrey, Manitoba Egg Farmers
Reflecting on and practicing developing our story really helps me feel grounded in the work. the problem that we are trying to solve is very big and distant and reflecting more on the people behind the work, why it’s important, and where we are going really helps me.
— participant, Lake Winnipeg Foundation

I developed 10 new worksheets to help organizations find their voice. Like adding 10 new chapters to our shared story of success…with more illustrations to boot!

From first-time workshops to long-term partnerships, that’s 2,920 days of turning connection into action!

A big shoutout to the amazing returning clients who keep working with me to discover new chapters in their stories:

I love how invested you are in this process! You’re really committed to customizing your program so our team receives max benefits. I appreciate it!!
— Annie Bergen, Creative Manitoba
Thanks for making everything you touch sparkle a little more, shine a bit brighter and help build people and organizations to thrive. Our community and city wouldn’t be the same without you!
— Michael Barkman, CCEDNet

Numbers tell part of the story, but the real magic lives in the connections forged, the 'aha!' moments sparked, and the transformations that ripple outward through organizations and communities.

Thank you for being part of this chapter of growth and discovery. As we turn the page to 2025, I'm energized by the possibilities that await us all.

Yours in story - and connection,

Cate
