About Us >
TPC Founder and CEO
"Catherine, you're a fabulous trainer, your enthusiasm and passion is contagious. A great role model for how great training can be."
Sally Snadden
Group Training Manager, Pfizer, Australia
"Catherine and her team at TPC developed and rolled out a solid 'Global Learning Toolkit'- an all-encompassing set of processes, tools and templates based on a 9-step ID approach, for the Reuters Learning teams across the globe. The Global Learning Toolkit provided Reuters with a great, solid base to embed design, development and delivery standards for its L&D activities - which are essential in any learning function."
Charles Jennings
Global Head of Learning, Thomson Reuters, UK
"Catherine, and her company, have provided me with excellent value in the training area. Not only does she have a strong strategic view and ability to share that, she is also practical and down to earth. She assisted me in developing an overall plan for a new marketing curriculum, and provided personal guidance in this new venture. I was also able to hire her company to produce practical distance learning as well as instructional design on facilitator led courses. If you get the chance, hire her to help you!"
Susan Sybert
Director, Marketing Training, Amgen, USA
"Catherine is the consummate trainer and facilitator. The Performance Company's program on how to design effective and meaningful training is the best I have seen. It is detailed, thorough and exceeds expectations for content and process. Catherine does an extraordinary job of training a sophisticated audience of experienced trainers and demonstrates by example of how to facilitate training, keep her audience's attention and ensure that they actually learn the material."
Steve Todd
Senior Manager - Global Ops Training & Development , Amgen, USA
"When Catherine and I worked together I was the Group Training Manager of Pfizer, Australia's #1 pharma company. We had Catherine construct and drive our internal professional development program. Catherine also worked with me personally to help create a "business driving" culture for the training group. The results we attained and shift in internal credibility were astounding. The long term effects (of this work) are still being felt throughout the organization. I can't recommend Catherine and her services highly enough."
Mark Wayland
The Last 3 Feet, Australia (formally Group Training Manager, Pfizer, Australia)
"Catherine is a gifted training professional and in addition to managing her own company she is always willing to give to others in the industry. Catherine's ability to connect with her audience is amazing. If you are looking for results - choose Catherine."
Jan Davis
CPT , Learning and Professional Development Manager, Chanel, Inc, USA
"Catherine has an innovative and practical way of teaching that has lasting effect. I still remember her brain storming session more than 5yrs ago when she was learning consultant for our internal training team. She is energetic, sharp and super skillful in handling the class and generate the best result from the group"
Julia Biyuan Zhu
Regional Training Specialist, Reuters Asia Training Center, Singapore
"Catherine is creative and extremely knowledgeable. She is a pleasure to work with and has made a great impact on the organization from a professional standpoint, and on my career from a personal standpoint. I look forward to working with her again in the future."
Michelle Walker
Training & Development Specialist, Westfield, USA
"Catherine is truly the best learning strategist, facilitator and trainer I have ever worked with; and with over 15 years in the industry, I've worked with a lot! Catherine is utterly unflappable, but she also sets a tone at the beginning of such high energy and engagement that there is little space for flap anyway. She knows her craft like no one else, from the strategic 20,000 foot level, to creating reusable templates, to stand-up delivery, to follow up assessment of impact. Catherine has been a huge mentor for me, and I can honestly say the best of what I use today in my L&D work I learned from her."
Rich Taylor
Reuters, USA
"Catherine Mattiske proved invaluable to us when started up a technical training department in 2003. We were all subject matter experts. Ms. Mattiske guided us through the development of our instructional design standards, assisted us in periodic evaluation of our progress, and proved to be an excellent motivator and coach. While not part of her expected role, she was especially valuable to me personally as a mentor while I made the transition from subject matter expert to instructor. I would recommend her, not only for her expertise in instructional design, but for virtually any learning endeavor."
Robert Wood
Westfield, USA
"I attended courses with Catherine with Countrywide... She is the greatest instructor that I have ever had..."
Brian Johnson
formally Countrywide, USA
"Catherine has developed and facilitated high quality workshops for our team of experienced Training Specialists (a hard crowd at the best of times) and received rave reviews, so much so that we've recommended her services to several other divisions within the company - these have been taken up and again, participants have walked away feeling energised, enthusiastic, inspired and more importantly able to translate the learnings into reality. A good result and a good investment from our perspective."
Sheridan Crawshaw
Pfizer, Australia
"Catherine has worked with our team for many years now and I can attribute a lot of our organisational success to her training, coaching and mentorship. She has provided the team with fundamental skills and knowledge to ensure we are seen as a high performing training team. Most importantly she has coached and mentored the leadership team of this department and as a result we strive to drive and sustain the desired changes of behaviour within our team and the entire organisation."
Justin Craddock
Pfizer, Australia
"Catherine is a consummate training professional who has been instrumental in helping us to set up our training certification for all of our Training Managers. The work that Catherine has done with several of my staff members around instructional design and adult learning principles has been a critical to their training success."
Greg Megowan
Amgen, USA
"I have always been very impressed with Catherine's dedication and professionalism in all that she does. She's highly experienced and really knows what she's talking about. Catherine is also honest, smart and fun to work with."
Katina Cremona
Owner, People Savvy Consulting, Greece
"Catherine is amazing. Not only is Catherine a remarkably skilled and fun trainer and presenter, but her instructional design approach is easy to understand and implement - and it is extremely effective. She is one of the very major instructional design resources that has technical training background and can easily adapt her methodology to either so-called "soft-skills" training or to technical training. Catherine is a good soul that can help you design engaging and interesting software training (a rare gift) or any other training."
Ralph Hall
CPLP, MBA, Columbia Ultimate, USA
"If you want to work with the best the only person to work with is Catherine Mattiske. She is the guru of trainers."
