“I rarely experienced a person and company who actually conform to what they stand for and to their purpose for existence the way that Catherine/Thinking Dynamics do. It has been ten years that I and my colleagues have been working with her. We have only experienced the highest level of professionalism and commitment as a group. Her guidance has laid the foundation for our operations to this day still. I believe the difference in working with Thinking Dynamics in comparison to other companies and individuals I have come to know, is that within a certain situation, the intervention will mostly be predictable. With Catherine I have experienced the most amazing interventions and outcomes, due to her understanding of a situation and addressing it in a way that immediately creates positive results.”

“My relationship with Thinking Dynamics headed by Cathy Van Heerden commenced over 16 year ago as I was about to transition from an FD to the MD role. I used the “6 hats thinking” extensively which helped me unlock growth through creative yet structured thinking with my new team. I have since continued to apply the concepts in several roles subsequently thereby helping my team ensure they evaluate all opportunities in a structured and logical manner after considering relevant risk thereby improving the quality and impact of our decisions. The six hat training also helped separate emotions from logical benefits/risks thereby ensuring that decisions were made on value optimization as opposed to the strongest personality in the room. We were also able to embed effective project management skills in the organization through the Six Thinking Hats method.”
