Keynotes

Stress & Serenity

Cath Vincent

Business Improvement Adviser and Motivational Speaker  Cath Vincent explains how stress can get in the way of your “happy productivity”. No matter what is causing you stress right now, Cath explains how to view your stress, assess your options, and take action to resolve it.

Cath was a business consultant for over 20 years. She has worked on multi-million dollar infrastructure projects and launched businesses in the UK, Australia and New Zealand – including a software start-up that won a DTI award for innovation.

Yet despite her corporate success, Cath remained unfulfilled until she decided to ‘Wake up her WOW!’
She emigrated to New Zealand and began a new career as a motivational speaker. Cath quickly gained international recognition, and within only three years she had won the National Speakers’ Association Brightstar award. Cath is also the host of the uplifting ‘The Cath Vincent Show’ which airs on Sky TV.
