095: Instead of Networking, Try Netgiving
When Cathy McCafferty-Smith was 5 years old, her kindergarten teacher told her mother, “I would feel comfortable leaving Cathy in charge of the class if I had to leave the room.” She was passionate about becoming a teacher but like many people as she became an adult, her life went in different directions. Her first career was motherhood. Cathy started college in her late twenties and by 39, she had earned 3 degrees.
Over 25 years Cathy worked in education, healthcare, manufacturing, and banking. She has served in human resources and as a leadership development and organizational change consultant. At the individual leadership development level, she focuses on building influential leaders by identifying strengths, talents, values, motivators, personal leadership styles, and uncovering one's own blind spots. At the organizational level, she co-designs and facilitates talent acquisition programs, employee team engagement programs, and leadership action learning programs to assist in solving real-time organizational problems.
In this week’s Work From The Inside Out podcast, learn more about Cathy’s journey:
Cathy started her own consulting business but in order to stabilize it, she held a part-time role for several years while “netgiving” her way toward a fully sustainable business. Netgiving is her definition for making connections while being of service.
She collaboratively co-designed multiple award-winning leadership development, action learning succession programs with senior executive leaders.
Cathy authored and co-published a National Medical Journal article on behavioral interviewing systems for organizations in 2017.
She will soon be publishing her first book, “Career Map, Discovering Your Unique Purpose”.
