CATHY SMALLEY PALES, ED.D.

With a lifelong commitment to education and supporting women’s leadership, Cathy is passionate about helping women embrace their full potential and achieve greater leadership authority.

She holds a Doctor of Education in Higher Education Administration with a concentration in Leadership and Organizational Change from the University of Virginia, and she is a graduate of Georgetown University’s Leadership Coaching Program.

Women make up 75% of the nonprofit workforce but lead fewer than 25% of medium and large organizations.

Cathy has dedicated her career to changing that statistic by empowering women to show up as their best selves, with extraordinary leadership presence, fully seen and heard. Her work spans running a leadership coaching practice, leading group fitness classes, fostering children, mediating as a volunteer, and chairing the Business Women’s Round Table at the Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce.
