Cat Cuevas is as business results oriented and fierce as she is elegant and playful. She commits herself fully and drives hard on projects with strong organization and attention to detail; yet, at the same time she brings a special passion for dreaming, creativity, and aliveness. In our work together – which includes coaching, consulting, a learning partnership, and friendship – I can always count on Cat to produce the highest quality of work within our agreed upon time frame, to bring me to new levels of understanding by challenging me and providing honest feedback, and to live with love and compassion. Cat is looking to change the world: make a connection with her if you want to team with an innovative thinker, a compassionate heart, and a refreshingly open learner. - Rachel Butler, MA, PCC Coach and Consultant
"I feel so much more confident in my own convictions because of the things I learned from the way you live. You brought swagger, empathy, the courage to be bold and sexy and confident while totally owning your vulnerability, and I walked away from the workshop wishing I could be your life-intern for a summer...I appreciated the way you kept us honest with ourselves and pointed out specific physical and verbal cues that indicated harmony or discord between our words and our bodies. I learned to pay more attention to the words I choose and to appreciate the power of (saying) "I want". Thank you so much - this is the second project with which you have been involved that has profoundly affected me. I look forward to reading your book and making it an even third!" - Irresistible Woman workshop participant
