I'm Caterina Perry
Founder of Your Success Unlimited Inc.
If you ask anyone who knows me, they will tell you three things.
1) I'm a storyteller
2) I am passionate
3) I am strategic
Storyteller
Over the lifetime of my career, I have found that stories have an innate ability to inspire, engage, and motivate.
Engagement and Empathy: Storytelling fosters a deep emotional connection, making the support experience more relatable and supportive.
Clearer Pathways: Complex career concepts are simplified through stories, enabling visualization of goals and the steps needed to achieve them.
Confidence and Inspiration: Sharing stories of individuals who have overcome challenges and how they did it to achieve remarkable success, instills confidence that you too can pursue your dreams.
Personalized Guidance: Every story is tailored to your unique journey, providing targeted insights and actionable strategies.
Passionate
I am very passionate about supporting women leaders.
Why?
It’s because I struggled with imposter syndrome, a phenomenon where individuals doubt their accomplishments and fear being exposed as "frauds."
It affects both men and women, but research suggests that women experience it more frequently in professional settings.
Women tend to internalize their doubts and question their capabilities. This internalization can be challenging to overcome, even when external barriers are removed.
It saddens me when I meet a woman who has done amazing things and yet she attributes her success to luck or external factors rather than own her achievements.
Strategic
I’m very strategic when it comes to career development. I do not subscribe to the “it’s impossible” school of thought. I believe that something is only impossible until someone figures out how to do it, and I'm very creative and resourceful when it comes to innovative ideas.
I also do not believe in a one size fits all philosophy and approach every situation with a high-level perspective. I challenge limiting beliefs and partner with my clients, providing them with whatever support they need, which can be coaching, training, mentoring, or consulting.
Moreover, it's really important for me to provide practical and tactical tools, resources, and strategies that can be used effectively.
My goal is to empower to advance your career beyond limits.
What makes me different?
As a Career Strategist, I guide individuals through every facet of their professional journey, meticulously crafting personalized roadmaps based on evidence and tailored to the client's aspirations. I skillfully dissect industry trends, assess market demands, and evaluate distinct skill sets to construct comprehensive, strategic plans that pave the way for achieving ambitious career goals.
Drawing on my expertise in self-promotion, I specialize in helping leaders showcase their best selves to advance in their current roles. My process includes enhancing performance reviews, mastering negotiation tactics, and enhancing professional reputation. By focusing on personal branding and strategic communication, I empower leaders to confidently manage their career paths and achieve lasting success.
Advancement Agent:
This is a term that I made up to explain my vested approach to helping someone achieve their career goals. I blended the roles of agent and mentor to create a dynamic partnership with my client. The payment structure for this support echoes this alignment and underscores my confidence in my methodologies and my dedication to driving real results. Please note however that this support requires a unique level of trust, motivation, and collaboration with my clients, therefore not everyone is suitable.
As an Emotional Intelligence Coach, I serve as a catalyst for personal and professional growth. Much like a detective unravelling a mystery, I delve into the depths of the human psyche, decoding emotions and unravelling the complexities that often lie beneath the surface. This process fosters self-awareness/management and honing skills necessary for navigating the intricate landscape of interpersonal relationships.
My approach involves creating a safe, judgment-free space where individuals can explore their emotions, understand their triggers, and develop a profound awareness of their emotional and social landscape. Recognizing the uniqueness of each individual, I tailor my coaching strategies to address specific emotional and social challenges—whether it's managing stress, enhancing communication skills, cultivating resilience, influencing others with ease, creating rapport, or resolving conflicts.
Together, we embark on a journey of self-discovery and skill development, unlocking the potential for profound emotional mastery and enriched relationships.
As a Transition Coach, I guide accomplished leaders who want to transition from a leadership role to becoming a coach, trainer, or consultant. Drawing on my expertise in this area, I have developed and use a comprehensive, phased timeline/approach to support this transformational journey.

A little more about me
While I have been supporting job market candidates since 1996, it was always “on the side” of very challenging leadership roles. You can check out my linkedIn profile for details.
I mention the challenging jobs because it helps me explain how it came to be that I wrote a book. Over the course of my career, I journaled to help me process difficult experiences. My journal ended up evolving into a reflective memoir and then finally into a how-to guide to empower others. Check out the trailer.
Josee Laroche
Meet My Eagle's Network
I see leaders as Eagles and believe in surrounding myself with them.
Eagles have a vision - An eagle spreads its wings and uses the current to soar to get the best view.Leaders soar with their minds to create grand visions which they then lead others to manifest into reality.
Eagles are fearless - Eagles surrender to the size or strength of their prey.Leaders have the courage to fail. They are calculated and breathe through their fears. Leaders have confidence that they will prevail, even if it requires them to bounce back from their setbacks.
Eagles nurture their young - No member of the bird family is gentler or more attentive to its young ones than eagles.
Leaders care about people. They encourage and empower others around them.
