There’s no magic, no “secret move” you can make to win the business game. There’s only you, your executive team, your employees, your potential and the decisions you make.

Tell me…

• What do you do when everywhere you turn, you see problems, inefficiencies and outright mistakes?
• What if, now more than ever, there are things you can’t bring yourself to say, much less do?
• Where do you start when this enormous weight is on your shoulders, and your entire team is counting on you, the leader, to make the right decisions?

Do you begin by tackling the problems you’re having? Do you need to work harder, to go back to those 80-90 hour weeks?

Ummmm, nope. Not if you want permanent change. Not if you want transformation.

One of Einstein’s best quotes is “We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” Our work together will reveal a context that will enable you to deal with issues with a new sense of freedom, where your passion for your business and for what’s right will win the day. Day after day.

As you work with us, you’ll discover—yourself—all sorts of things you’re doing now that you shouldn’t be. That goes for you and your employees both.

Don’t get me wrong, though. Even after our relationship is well-established and your company has turned around, you’re still going to have issues, problems, breakdowns, and emergencies. But you’ll be in a completely new place. You’ll be tackling issues and making decisions with more focus, more clarity, more confidence.

The instant I begin working with you, we begin getting clarity. Clarity about how things are. Clarity about the obstacles that hold you back. Clarity about what you want. Clarity about what it will take to begin turning things around.

After you get clarity, you’ll begin to develop a new ability to make the right decisions on the right issues, to achieve much greater results with the same resources, and to anticipate and adjust more effectively as you move forward…to accomplish much, much more.

Question for you: When do business leaders always win?Answer: When they know more than their competitors and act on that knowledge quickly and intelligently.Leaders in industry often appear invulnerable and flawless—as if they have all the answers—to the people around them. The key questions, then, are:

• How does a leader—and a business—grow in an environment like this?
• Where do top people learn more about what they don’t know—and what they don’t know that they don’t know?
• How do organizations determine what to do differently and when?

My company, Catalyst Consultants, LLC, was created to be a source of the answers to these questions. Growing a business is impossible without growing yourself. Catalyst is, well, a catalyst to your—and your company’s—growth and development.

Our Services

Planning

Once you have thought through the key questions, Catalyst Consultants helps you map the plan to construct and grow your business for success and profitability. The best plans set a course based on realistic assessments of resources and expectations, but also have a built-in level of flexibility to allow for adjustments as market forces and other variables often dictate.

We get together for your annual planning session (2-3 days) and quarterly tactical planning sessions (1 day each). We provide you with brief summaries, including the critical action/accountability steps that will drive the organization’s goals that everyone agrees upon and commits to do.

Annual: During the annual planning session, we guide you and your team through a strategic planning process that is condensed onto a highly-focused one-page document. We storyboard the sessions so everyone stays focused, and ideas are visualized, categorized and prioritized easily.

Quarterly: During the quarterly updates, we refresh relevant marketplace information, measure how well established action plans have been executed, make course corrections as needed, and decide on priority actions for the next 90 days.

Initiative, Conflict/Issue Resolution Planning:

As new opportunities emerge, planning sessions can be held to evaluate potential, identify and address issues and conflicts and determine action/accountability plans to move ahead with clarity and purpose.

Executive Coaching

As plans unfold, successful executives understand the importance of clarifying goals, obstacles and issues, getting validation, and gaining an outside, objective perspective.

Team Building

Performance = motivation + ability. What happens to motivation when the relationships aren’t right or when someone just doesn’t fit in? Your people are your most important asset. They keep you creative, innovative and competitive. Having the right people in the right positions is insufficient until you have unity. Team building is critical to an organization’s momentum. We customize a set of team building principles to meet each client’s needs.

Workshops/Training

Through our relationship with Gazelles, there are constant opportunities for learning new, best practices and innovative ideas. We incorporate these principles in our educational programs and make them readily accessible to our clients.
