Civility Partners Testimonials
“I have worked with Catherine for several years to move the needle on the culture at the Water District. We have partnered to teach anti-bullying, including bystander intervention; she has conducted coaching for several of our leaders; and conducted multiple workplace culture surveys. The most impactful work was Catherine leading us through the process to create an Action Plan to address feedback in the survey. The results of this effort was a dramatic improvement in our follow up survey. The work Catherine has done for us has helped us truly become a place where our culture brings out the best in our people every day."
Karleen Harp
HR Manager, Rainbow Municipal Water District
“Catherine customized and provided training for our Senior and Executive Managers on the topic of How to create a work environment that incorporate Civility, Respect, and Accountability. She was a pleasure to work with. Her facilitation skills are excellent and made the training engaging and memorable for our Managers. She incorporated our County’s I.D.E.A.L. values into her presentation which made the training even more relevant for our Managers. Some of the comments from the evaluations were “The training was very good. I appreciate the take home activities and information. We were not just given information but also given the how too.”, “Very helpful topic, thank you for the suggestions and real life practical applications for the workplace.”, “Civility is a great investment of time. Learned great techniques to improve the work environment.”, and “Very important topic. Catherine did an excellent job.”
Frances M. Stokes
Organizational Development and Training Officer, Solano County
“After handling several internal complaints about the work environment in one of our departments, we decided to locate an expert who could provide training to our staff about professional conduct and communication. Catherine worked with our management team and explained that training was the first step in solving issues in the department. It really comes down to good communication. She not only worked with the management team of that department but provided the tools to staff during their training to set the stage for creating a positive work environment. This training was so well received we decided to offer the program to another department. We are pleased with the progress in both departments and attribute this to the training and tools provided by Civility Partners.”
Julie Hatcher
Vice President of Human Resources, O’Connor Hospital
“I was really happy with how the training went, and have gotten nothing but positive feedback from the workshop attendees. Catherine did a great job – she spent a lot of time ensuring the material was pertinent to our needs, and she really got people to interact with her and with each other during the training. She also provided several great ideas to implement with the staff so that we can keep the conversation around a positive workplace going long after she is gone. I will definitely be using her ideas in future meetings and talking with managers about using them within individual departments.”
Shaney McCoy

“I have had the pleasure of participating in three seminars where Catherine Mattice presented to various audiences. She is a dynamic speaker in which she makes the subject matter very relevant to the daily work environment. Her guidance assists management on how they should work through the problems that arise with workplace bullying. I would recommend employers to take advantage of the various programs offered by Civility Partners.”
Ray Kewley

“Catherine is an expert facilitator. A program participant recently described her workshop as “incredibly helpful, concise…providing concrete tools for applying material back at work.” No surprise. In the six years that Catherine has been part of the Nonprofit Management Solutions team, she has garnered the praise of students and colleagues alike for her knowledge, insight, and dynamic facilitation style.”
Stephanie McCullers
Training Manager, Nonprofit Management Solutions
“The information presented clarified the ways (bullying) behavior can affect an individual and the negative impact it has for the workplace. The training will be an invaluable resource to employees as they perform their daily duties and enable them to assist any individual that may be experiencing such a problem. They will also be more aware in the way they communicate with their co-workers.”
