About Cathleen Szebrat

Executive Leadership Coach | Program Consultant | Cross-Cultural Communicator | Strategic Project Manager


With over 20 years of experience, Cathleen Szebrat has dedicated her career to empowering individuals and teams in fast-paced, high-stakes environments. As an ICF-certified coach, she specializes in helping professionals unlock their potential, navigate complexity, and lead meaningful change—with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Since launching her coaching practice in 2010, Cathleen has supported senior leaders and mission-driven teams across sectors—including government, international organizations, and nonprofits. Most recently, she led a large-scale executive coaching program for a U.S. military client, overseeing program operations, guiding leadership development strategy, and coaching individuals through pivotal moments of transformation.

Previously, Cathleen developed a strategic communication initiative for a major federal agency, helping to align culture and support leaders through organizational change. While living in France, she continued her coaching practice internationally and served as an adjunct professor at a university in Nice—an experience that deepened her cross-cultural perspective and strengthened her ability to support global leaders.

Earlier in her career, Cathleen worked in international trade and regulatory environments, supporting global clients on complex legal and policy matters. This foundation sharpened her systems-thinking mindset and strengthened her ability to communicate and lead across disciplines and cultures—skills she brings into every coaching engagement.

Cathleen holds a Master of Science in Management with a specialization in Human Resource Management from the University of Maryland and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from George Mason University. She is certified in EQ-i 2.0 and 360, Hogan, PrinciplesUs, and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), equipping her to deliver data-driven insights that fuel both individual and organizational success.

Passionate about fostering leadership excellence, Cathleen partners with professionals who are ready to embrace change, elevate their impact, and lead with intention.
