Why “Catalysis”
“Catalysis” is the process of accelerating a change or transformation by the presence of a catalyst.
We chose this name because our work is to create the space, encouragement, and tools you need to spark that transformation. Our approach is collaborative, not prescriptive.
Through our work with a wide variety of organizations and leaders over the years, we have learned that the greatest value we bring is creating brave, authentic spaces for you to do your best work.
Transformational Change
Many leaders and leadership teams focus on strategic planning as the critical step to helping an organization meet its mission.
We start with leaning into your values and building your ability to talk about what is most important.
We'll work together to develop a unified vision of the future you want to create and design an approach for how you'll get there.
Exceptional Coaching & Facilitation
We fall in love with our clients! We really care about the outcomes and people involved.
We create brave, vibrant, and inclusive spaces for important conversations.
We serve as guides to help clear away the boundaries we’ve put around ourselves as leaders, as teams, and as humans.
