Cathy Quartner Bailey, MBA
Executive Coach, Workshop Facilitator, Author
Cathy Quartner Bailey, President of Quartner and Associates, LLC, works as an executive coach and workshop facilitator. She is passionate about helping clients incorporate customized, practical mindfulness (mind training and energy/emotion regulation) strategies into their busy lives with expertise in executive leadership presence, professional branding, strategic thinking, communication, conflict management (working with difficult situations and people), emotional intelligence, resiliency, and well-being. She recently published the book Show Up as Your Best: Mindful Leaders, Meditation, & More, available on Amazon.
Cathy’s style is direct, honest, and supportive. She partners with clients to help them understand the link between leadership and being mindful with focus on “how I show up” versus being stuck in “doing” mode. Her specialties include her 360 interview process, where she works with the client to “hear” the feedback in a respectful and meaningful way as well as helping her clients understand, develop and maintain leadership presence. She offers clients a customized, structured approach to help them achieve their leadership goals by sharing insights as well as providing customized tools and assessments.

Since the pandemic started, Cathy has been leading a free Monday 7p EST community mindfulness meditation via Zoom.
She earned an MBA from The University of Chicago Booth, a Certificate in Health Administration Services from The University of Chicago, and a BA from Emory University in Economics.
