Dr. Cathy Greenberg, PhD


Dr. Cathy Greenberg hasn’t just studied leadership and positive psychology and overcoming adversity — she has lived all of these things first hand.

She was a managing partner at a Fortune 500 company. She’s been through the challenges of single motherhood and had to overcome significant health problems, and she’s applied the science of happiness to her own life.

In other words, Dr. Cathy has real-world experience (and real-world results) that validate her scientific and academic understanding of leadership psychology. This adds a particularly powerful dimension to her consulting and coaching work.

It says something very powerful when the company you leave after a successful executive career instantly hires you as a consultant to coach their highest potential executives. And that’s exactly the case with Dr. Cathy Greenberg and her former employer, Accenture.
