If you have half a mind to solve a problem, it's not enough! Catherine Graham's training has given us techniques to combine the strengths of the analytical and creative halves of our minds to develop innovative, lasting solutions."

Catherine Graham opened my mind when I attended her workshop The Creative Problem Solver. Experiencing Catherine's holistic approach to problem solving instantly provided me with a new tool to look at old challenges in a new way. I was so excited about Catherine's creative approach to problem solving, I had to share it with my colleagues."

Graham's workshop encourages what is too often missing within organizations: an intuitive way to look at problems. For me, Words@Work was a catalyst. It opened up a new way of looking at problems that I have carried on since the workshop and shared with others."

When I was struggling with oppressive and overwhelming work and life challenges, the Words@Work workshop made it possible for me to re-conceptualize them and describe them in a way that made them seem more manageable. As a result, I was able to find practical courses of action that worked for me."

Catherine is a patient and motivating coach. The sessions were thought provoking and encouraged me to stretch beyond my traditional comfort zones to explore new areas. In contrast to my previous ways of working where I sought to simply communicate with others, I now challenge myself to connect with others."

CMG Creativity workshops add a new dimension to problems and transform them into opportunities for change.

The workshops were instrumental in providing insightful and practical solutions for better communication."

Catherine shared her rich life and writing experience in a warm, insightful and direct manner that not only brought about 90 writers out at 8:30 on a Saturday morning, but kept them talking for the next week. All those who attended were inspired. Catherine was a crowd-pleaser!"
