Karen Peterman, PhD

President of Consult With Catalyst

“I knew I needed help and CMC was recommended to me by a colleague...I feel hopeful and productive in ways that would not be possible without CMC's help and intervention.

The thing I love about it the most is that I don't have to do anything to move the work forward - it happens based on CMC's understanding of what we need, and there is always progress. I also love it that the team is more involved.

As the owner of a small company, I have spent a lot of time trying to figure things out on my own and then also feeling like I'm not doing enough to move things forward. CMC is a thought partner in this space - they know the things I need, sometimes in ways that I haven't realized myself yet, and then have the expertise and the resources to put things in place in more productive ways that I could do on my own.”

Dana Benjamin-Allen

Founder of Back of the Napkin Consulting

“Prior to engaging with CMC, I struggled with several operational and administrative challenges...I found Micah's proactive approach to identifying potential challenges and developing preventative strategies particularly valuable....To Micah everything is figureoutable and I need a thought partner with that perspective. Micah has transformed our financial operations by implementing a structured operating cadence that allows me to focus on client work, sales, and team management while she capably handles the administrative functions.

I am at a place now where I don't know what I would do without her and I don't want to remember a time when Micah wasn't helping to co-pilot the ship…Any business owner would benefit from her organizational skills, attention to detail, and ability to implement effective systems while maintaining authentic professional rapport...She is proactive, action oriented, and willing to tell or listen to a dad joke or the latest ailment running through my household because she knows that is what is needed. ”
