ABOUT CATHERINE FAIR

Using our proprietary systems and processes we can help motivated individuals and companies realize their potential and become the best version of themselves. “Take the first step and the second will reveal itself.” To me, this statement is the foundation of transformation. I work with people who believe that there is something beyond that first step, that they are truly Meant for More. In fact, they’re haunted by it. Before becoming a Business Coach, I worked with the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) and had the opportunity to meet literally hundreds of business owners, small and large. Many were successful, some were experiencing challenges, and still others were really struggling. My main role was to assist in the CFIB’s advocacy for small and medium-sized businesses regarding government policies and regulations. Though that was my role, I found I was just as much a sounding board for these business owners’ struggles, regardless if they were government related or not. I was that safe, trusted third party—not an employee, a client, a supplier, or a partner—but that person that they could finally express their “real” troubles to. But also, that person they could share their life and business dreams with. It became apparent that these hard-working people needed the kind of help and support on a broader spectrum than I could offer with the CFIB. They needed someone who could help them explore their dreams, and keep focused on them through all the day-to-day challenges. I knew then that I needed to play a much larger role in their businesses. Being a Business Coach allows me to do just that, and I am humbled every day in this role. I believe the greatest compliment I can receive from a client is, “I’ve never told anyone this before…”. When I hear that, I know we’re on to something! Which is significant because my main motivator is making an impact on people’s lives and businesses, so I am constantly looking for ways to provide value and transformation for my clients.
