FISH TALES

Scot McRoberts, CEO
VA Council of CEOs

Catch Your Limit challenges me as a leader, is a partner that works with me to create growth and alignment in my organization and brings fresh approaches to leadership development. Their energy transcends the session or the day.

James Black, CEO
Touchstone Bank

CYL challenges your thinking and perspectives all while having you even more culturally focused on how to achieve your goals and objectives.

Rick Eisenman, CEO
Eisenman and Associates

Catch Your Limit delivers creative and informed solutions to sometimes complex issues and an objective outside view with thoughtful insights and suggestions.

Kerry Blumberg,
Executive Director
Ronald McDonald House Charities of Richmond

I think that sometimes it is hard for someone who is in the day to day grind to always see some of the themes that go across different categories, definitely seeing trends, helping us find the language to educate about scaling up, packaging and organizing information – being a trusted partner to put in front of our most important constituents to help us along the journey. Sometimes it has been helping me culminate small bits of information to make a larger decision.

Jamie Christensen,
President and Founder
WorldView Solutions Inc.

Our firm had always been reticent to bring in outside guidance but found a great fit with Catch Your Limit. Melissa and Tom spent the time getting to know our company culture and, as a result, always engage with our team in a way that takes our unique characteristics as a company into account. Their work has had a meaningful impact on the way our team members interact, our understanding of the challenges we face as a company and the tools we use to grow our team of leaders. They also host a fantastic Happy Hour!

Louise Hershkowitz,
Board Member
Virginia Association of Nurse Anesthetists

CYL was instrumental in providing structure to the activities required to do a major rebuilding of the infrastructure of our organization and also in helping us to understand how we needed to identify our values and incorporate them in everything we do. In addition to knowledge and insight, CYL provided humor and activities that engaged our leadership in the kind of self-examination required to build an organization of the future.

Bruce Whitehurst,
President & CEO
Virginia Bankers Association

Catch Your Limit is an excellent partner for both the Virginia Bankers Association and our member banks. Melissa and Tom Laughon bring creativity, energy and great leadership insights to every engagement and feedback from all who have participated with them in VBA events has been extremely positive!

Jon Heckel, COO
Bench, Inc.

Melissa is a highly experienced and polished group facilitator. Having now participated in several sessions with her, it’s easy to see what separates her from most. She sets up leadership and organizational development topics crisply and credibly. She structures break-out sessions in such a way that maximizes engagement and participation among a range of personality types. While leading groups, Melissa then listens very intently and makes thoughtful connections fluidly between participants. She keeps her sessions moving forward and on-schedule, but not at the risk of rushing or not realizing her objectives.

Margaret Ann Bollmeier,
President & CEO
MCV Foundation

Catch Your Limit’s methods are creative, engaging, and highly motivating. They have helped us to greatly improve communication and project efficiency within our team. I am especially pleased with how each session is carefully planned to meet our specific needs and objectives.
Tom and Melissa are a pleasure to work with and we look forward to continuing our relationship with them in the future.

Catch Your Limit partners with courageous
leaders so they can transform, grow and
sustain exceptional organizations, even in
rough waters. We know strategy. We know
people. We build momentum.

We guide and grow leaders.
