Catherine Tinsley, Ph.D., is an expert on gender intelligent leadership, workforce development, decision making under risk and uncertainty, negotiations, and conflict resolution. She has won several awards and grants for her research on how leaders can promote better decision making within their organizations, how to structure for gender parity, and how to resolve disputes across cultures. She has published more than 50 peer reviewed journal articles and book chapters and regularly speaks to the media about gender dynamics, risk, negotiations, and dispute resolution.
For three years she participated in The World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland where she spoke about the role of confidence in women’s economic empowerment, and how failure can be reframed to increase motivation. In 2012 and 2013, she partnered with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to study a decade of gender in the C-suite, collaborated with the White House and U.S. State Department on mentorship summits, and partnered with the U.S. State Department and the Council of Women World Leaders to convene the first ever world-wide meeting of the Ministers of Women’s Affairs. Tinsley also served on three committees for the National Academy of Sciences involving intelligence analysis and national security.
She teaches courses in negotiations, leadership, data analytics, decision making, and teams. She does leadership and development trainings for a variety of companies; past clients have included: Rolls Royce N.A., Gucci, Rio Tinto, Sprint-Nextel, Nextel, Verizon, the World Bank, DPT Laboratories, Ferro, Lamson & Sessions, Rhode & Schwarz, and the staff of the U.S. Senate.
