"Do it! You'll get new insights into how your business is working, and how it can get better. It's not just theory that you'll then have to figure out for yourself how to apply." - Desolie Page, Perfect Pages

About Me - Cat Matson
I describe myself as a business CATalyst who ignites performance of business owners and their teams.
I detest cookie-cutter, one-size fits all approaches to success, particularly in business. What works for your neighbour, your competitor, your role model or mentor works for them – for their unique collection of values, life circumstances, resources, skills and business model construct – and therefore unless you have that exact same unique collection of things, it’s unlikely their model will work for you.
Listening to their stories though may spark ideas and fuel connections with what you do … the trick is to know how to incorporate those ideas and connections into your context ... that's the beauty of the BrightSparks program.
I love practical, real, tried and tested solutions and I love good, meaty, thoughtful conversations. I like sharing the ‘realities’ of life and business (not just the good parts) and I like creating spaces to facilitate those conversations. For me, BrightSparks is one of those spaces ... an opportunity for like-minded business women to talk, learn and build their 'real' businesses as they go.
