We help make Growth a Team Sport at rapidly growing startups (e.g. Rippling, Truework, etc.).Most people who start organizations do so because they have some product or market idea or passion, not because they are great at organizations. When startups grow and expand their focus from building a product to building a team, or when established organizations encounter changing environments, they need to adapt their skills, structures, and stories accordingly.At the Brain-Based Workplace, we help values-driven organizations in this process of becoming more Radically Response-able & Peacefully Productive in two ways: by applying evidence-based insights and best practices from the fields of psychology and organizational behavior; and through incorporating ongoing, data-driven learning cycles drawing on design-thinking principles. Using these perspectives at the individual, team, and organizational levels, our coaching and consulting work focuses on excellence in the following domains:Giving & Receiving FeedbackMaking Effective RequestsThe Art of Empathetic ListeningCoaching for GrowthMasterful Self-Management

I love helping people tap more deeply into their innate creativity — connecting them with their intuition and re-claiming and embodying their most authentic nature & unique energetic blueprint. I believe that when one marries their creative intelligence with their intellectual intelligence - that’s where the magic of living in alignment with your highest self comes alive. And that doing this work CAN feel fun, playful, and effortlessly abundant.I currently offer 1:1 Coaching Containers & Immersives for creative ambitious spirits. Learn more here: www.catherinepao.com
