Catherine Goggia is an internationally certified job skills trainer, performance coach, and culture developer. She is consistently rated as a motivational and involved facilitator. Catherine is a passionate artist, photographer, and writer, which led her to originally publishing this color workbook in 1989, after observing children in the counseling center waiting room where she delivered educational materials she designed and wrote. Within the first week of using this activity + color book, counselors reported positive results from using it to help children relax, get in touch with their feelings, and talk - including one four-year-old who had stopped talking for months. Other counselors started using this color book with teens who were struggling, young people who were considering marriage, and even some couples who had been married for years but become distant. When Catherine made the book available to the general public, people used it as a self-reflection tool, but mostly - PEOPLE LIKED IT SIMPLY BECAUSE IT IS FUN TO COLOR THESE ILLUSTRATIONS Catherine's drawings tap into timeless and sweet imagery that resonates with people of all ages. It was this color book that inspired famed San Francisco artist, Laurel Burch, to hire Catherine to draw and write for her. This creativity tool has proven to help people color out confusion and withhold, and color in clarity and expression. Designed so users have room to add their own images to every page, the book is sure to be a keepsake. Originally produced by a local print shop, Catherine is excited to re-release this book on a larger platform, in an effort to get it into the hands of more children AND benefit local agencies who support the healthy and happy welfare of children. Catherine is the author of the Relatable Leader Series, starting with, "LIVE IT Mastering Positive Attitude Habits, 15 Practical Tips for Managing Your Mindset." In retrospect she realizes this color book was her first "attitude and inspiration" product. Buy for yourself or as a gift and know your purchase is producing good energy for children and the people whose work supports children.
