Meet Catherine Jackson | Leadership & Growth Trainer, Marketing Consultant

We had the good fortune of connecting with Catherine Jackson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Catherine, what are you inspired by?
IMPACT. I try to ensure that everything I do has impact whether it’s doing leadership training, mentorship or a marketing client, I want to know that the people I encounter or the projects I work on, add value to others.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Being a marketer for over 20 years, I have had the privilege of working with people across many demographics and social settings. I learned that I have a heart for people and I believe that we all have the ability to be a leader if we truly want to be.

I help future leaders to create a live a fulfilling and impactful life through Simple Steps. I also help businesses with impact to create structure, ensure they have the right people in the right places and help to develop their team to improve retention and increase productivity.

It hasn’t been easy, especially transitioning from marketing, what I have been known for to people building which is what I am passionate about. I especially love to help develop teenagers and young adults. I try my best to stay focused on opportunities for impact.

The lessons I have learned along the way are:

If we take one simple step at a time, the impact will be great.
Treat others the way we want to be treated and it is much easier to connect with others.
Relationships matter, my network is invaluable.
Say what you mean, mean what you say. My word is more valuable than money.

I love taking people or ideas from infancy and helping them to grow through strategy, innovation, accountability and execution.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Wow! I just moved to Colorado a year ago and so I have been exploring myself. Some of my favourite spots:

Winter Park for a quick getaway where I can ride ATVs during the summer or snowmobiling, tubing or snowboarding during the winter.

Hernando’s Pizza is a MUST for me in Winter Park!

Closer to the city I love Boulder, there are so many great restaurants, shops and views!

I also love Estes Park, feeling like I am one with nature, waking up to Deer at my door, in the summer the river an all the colours of nature and in the winter it’s nice and cozy to spend time in the hot tub and there are so many great restaurants – THE EGG is my favourite breakfast spot!

In the city I love North Italia, Venice, Fortune Wok, Guard and Grace. I have never had bad food in CO!

I love going to museums, the theatre, all sporting events! Let’s Go Nuggets! There is so much to do in CO and everywhere is beautiful!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
There are too many people that have impacted my life whether through supporting me, pushing me when I need it or that have taught me. I am inspired by John C. Maxwell who has shown me that being a bridge for God’s Kingdom to corporate and everyday life is possible. That is what lead me to becoming a certified Maxwell Speaker, Trainer and Coach.
