Transforming How Leaders Lead: From Self-Awareness to Sustainable Impact
At Catalyst Leadership 360, we help executives lead with clarity, confidence, and purpose through a unique blend of leadership coaching, executive self-awareness coaching, and team leadership development workshops.
Executives and senior leaders shape their organizations’ vision, culture, and long-term success. We understand the complexity that comes with that responsibility, whether it’s navigating critical decisions, building trust across teams, or driving aligned execution.
Our mission is to empower you to lead with authenticity and emotional intelligence. Through personalized coaching, experiential retreats, and innovative workshops, we support your journey to becoming a more connected, intentional, and impactful leader.
Our Approach to Leadership Coaching
Leadership isn’t just about authority. It’s about presence, clarity, and connection. Our leadership coaching and executive self-awareness coaching are designed to uncover the deeper layers of how you lead, how you relate, and how you grow. We work closely with:
- CEOs and C-suite leaders navigating high-stakes transitions
- Directors and team lead striving to inspire unity and trust
- Senior leadership teams seeking alignment, purpose, and performance
Each experience, whether an individual session, team assessment, or group retreat, is built to foster insight, restore focus, and elevate your leadership capacity.
The Power of Team Leadership Development Workshops
Our team leadership development workshops go beyond theory. These immersive experiences are grounded in experiential learning and designed to strengthen collaboration, emotional intelligence, and team alignment.
Our workshops support teams to:
- Rebuild broken trust
- Improve communication
- Resolve lingering conflict
- Clarify shared purpose
- Strengthen leadership alignment
These sessions are ideal for executive teams looking to elevate performance and unify their vision.
Our Philosophy
Self-Awareness Is the Root of Great Leadership
At Catalyst Leadership 360, we believe that leadership is more than a position. It’s a mindset and a relationship. True leadership starts with self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and the ability to inspire trust and connection in others. Our approach is grounded in the belief that experiential learning is the most powerful way to create lasting change, combining proven leadership principles with the unique wisdom of horses.
Our Core Beliefs
- Leadership begins within: Self-awareness and emotional intelligence are foundational to trust, influence, and vision.
- The power of experience: Learning by doing is central to our leadership development workshops and retreats.
- The wisdom of horses: Equine-assisted learning offers immediate, non-verbal feedback that accelerates growth
- Authenticity matters: Purposeful leadership is rooted in integrity, transparency, and personal alignment.
- Collaboration fuels transformation: Strong teams thrive on open communication, psychological safety, and unified direction.
- Sustainable impact is the goal: Every leadership coaching and program we offer is designed for long-term integration and real-world application.
At Catalyst Leadership 360, we don’t just develop leadership skills, we transform how leadership is practiced and embodied.
