About Us

Winning Teams Win™ originated during challenging times. Calls from C-Suite leaders needing help to pull their direct-report teams together on alignment, people, delivering results and generating shareholder value. A lot of multi-organizational challenges to say the least.  It began my  journey of creating our award-winning Winning Teams Win™ evolution.

It truly became my workplace passion  like no other… A culmination of my corporate and entrepreneurial experiences.  I call it, “pulling it all together.”
– Cathy Light

We’ve helped major companies navigate through big challenges…

We helped leaders and teams collaborate effectively despite the economic downturn, ensuring businesses could navigate closures and severe lending restrictions while maintaining organizational resilience.

We supported firms by uniting teams and leadership through rapid adaptation, helping them overcome pandemic-driven employment and operational challenges during an unusually swift recession.

Amid rising inflation and interest rates, we guided firms in aligning leaders and teams to manage the post-pandemic recovery and adapt to new financial pressures, reinforcing their stability during uncertain times.

Updated in 2024, Winning Teams Win™ provides a modern, dynamic approach to Leading the Business, Leading Your Team, and Developing Yourself.

We continually update Winning Teams Win™ to ensure you stay ahead in today’s ever-evolving workplace.
