Cath and Company
Helping humankind move along.
Founded 1979
Human TuneUp Company is our version of “Leave a place better than you found it.”
We know ideas change the course of lives.
We love “seeing the light go on” in us humans and work to help that happen.
And, we’re wild about the ripple effect of all we do!
My Background?
I’m a developer of humans from way back.
Teaching and speaking are threads that run through my family for generations.
My great Aunt Lizzie was a teacher, then principal. She somehow graduated from Notre Dame (when women didn’t even go there; how did that work…).
My aunt Dot was a teacher, then principal. I still remember her teaching me how to use the dictionary when I could yet barely read.
I thought words were the best and I loved learning.
When it came time to decide my focus in college, I chose political science, international relations, and, teaching.
▪ Taught leaders to lead with skill and care
▪ Inspired thousands to stress less
▪ Guided coworkers to develop their people skills.
Now, online!
A new development I wholeheartedly welcome!
All our presentations offered are now virtual and onsite.
Still interactive!

My indulgences?
Colored pens, I have way more than one person should be allowed to have!
Oh, and chocolate. Colored pens and chocolate.
The cartoon people throughout your work?
They came out of my doodling-pen many years ago. The Dude and Dudette were the first.
They appeared in my Vital Signs cartoon in The Niles Daily Star in 1997.They have lots of things to say in a lighthearted way.
We specialize in human bloomin'!
