About

Catherine Morisset

Founder and Lead Coach

Imagine Plus Solutions

I am an executive coach, speaker, teacher and author, and bring over 35 years of professional experience guiding leaders and organizations toward sustainable growth, resilience, and peak performance.

My work focuses on building strong leadership from the inside out: integrating mindset, skillset, and physical-psychological capacity to drive real, lasting change.

I am known for simplifying complexity, helping clients uncover what’s holding them back, and creating clear pathways forward through practical, progressive steps.

I strive to bring insight, strategy, and humanity to every conversation, empowering clients to lead with clarity, courage, and purpose.

My clients often describe their experience as a transformative shift from a place of just coping to confidently thriving.

Building Your Life is a Craft

We can easily fall into the pattern of life happening to us. I am a firm believer that living a rich life requires our fullest attention. It takes honesty, intention, and effort to craft the life we want.

It's Never Too Late

Most of the time, our choices are not final. There is always potential to make meaningful change, whether that's a career redirection, a transition in your personal life, or trying that one thing you've been putting off.

Embrace All Stages of Life

Whether you're a new parent, nearing retirement, are battling an illness, or considering a career change, you can focus on what's in your control and make the best of your circumstances—at any stage.

My Story

If we mostly learn from the challenges we encounter, I’ve certainly had many opportunities to learn. It took me a lot of exploration to get to where I am now. Resilience and reinvention are two themes woven throughout my own story—and my coaching work.

Like all of us, who I am today and how I show up in my work have been shaped by life's many ups, downs, and twists, including...

Living in Guadalajara and starting a Mexican food business in Ottawa
Working for international NGOs Oxfam and Cuso on anti-poverty actions
Co-founding and managing a successful construction company in Ottawa and becoming a certified trades-woman
Navigating challenging relationship dynamics and raising children as a single parent
Teaching fitness, water aerobics, and yoga classes and instructors while pursuing a degree
Becoming a certified life coach at the age of 45 and founding Imagine Plus Solutions
Designing and facilitating the brand new Certified Resilience Coach program with the Institute for Life Coach Training (ILCT), now offered by training institutions around the world
Getting a second lease on life and staying active thanks to a major orthopaedic surgery

My journey has taught me that our experiences shape us, but our mindset and the choices we make in response to adversity are what truly define our path.

These personal and professional experiences have helped me connect with the wide variety of personal circumstances and challenges—we are all different, and we all go through a lot of learning, continuous change, and growth.

What’s next? Life keeps unfolding. While we can’t read the future, we can certainly align what we do now, every day, with what the kind of life we want—the only one we ever get. This is what my work is about. Let’s talk about the kind of life you want, and how to get there.

It would be a pleasure and honour to accompany you along your own journey.
