Delivering change that matters.

Connect. Spark. Change!

Katalyst is a boutique leadership and learning consultancy that designs human-centered growth experiences for professionals and teams.

Founded by Katz Zeta, we’ve spent over 30 years helping people lead with clarity, care, and confidence. We don’t do cookie-cutter training.

We create safe, purposeful spaces where growth feels personal, relevant, and worth every minute.

Our mission is to design transformative learning experiences that help people and teams find the clarity, confidence, and connection they need to make meaningful change.

Our Programs

Forming Leadership with Clarity and Accountability

  • “Everything clicked — I felt lighter and more capable.”

    What is Leadership Edge?
    A four-day leadership journey that blends proven frameworks (Kouzes & Posner, Points of You®, The Oz Principle, BRAVING by Brené Brown) with real-time reflection, safe-space dialogue, and practical tools. Designed as a transformative experience rather than a series of modules.

    Who is it for?
    Organizations whose leaders are facing siloed ways of working or low engagement, especially middle to senior managers needing to build clarity, trust, and accountability.

    What Katalyst unlocks:

    • Stronger leadership confidence and presence

    • Greater team connection and trust

    • Clearer decision-making and accountability practices

    • Lasting behavioral change beyond the workshop

  • “It shifted our culture from finger-pointing to fixing problems together.”

    A mindset-shifting program that helps leaders and teams move from blame to ownership. Based on The Oz Principle and practical casework, it turns accountability into a shared cultural value rather than a management demand.

    Best for organizations where responsibility is often avoided, or where teams need to rebuild trust and deliver on commitments.

    What Katalyst sparks:

    • Clearer understanding of what accountability means in practice

    • Stronger follow-through on commitments

    • Reduced blame culture and increased solution focus

    • Higher team trust and reliability

  • “I left feeling prepared for the most important pitch of my career — and it worked.”

    Workshops that strengthen clarity, storytelling, and trust-building for leaders who need to inspire, persuade, and connect. Focused on both verbal and non-verbal presence, with coaching on real scenarios participants face.

    Best for executives, managers, and high-potential leaders preparing for higher-visibility roles or high-stakes communication.

    What Katalyst delivers:

    • Greater confidence and authority in presentations and meetings

    • More compelling storytelling for influence and engagement

    • Stronger rapport and trust with diverse audiences

    • Improved ability to read the room and adapt in real time

“This is the first training I’ve been to that actually made me want to lead better.”

“Everything clicked - I felt lighter and more capable.”

“I didn’t just learn techniques, I found my voice.”

Adapting to change and the future of work

  • “I finally understood how I can use AI to make work easier and more efficient.”

    A hands-on, one-day workshop that demystifies AI and equips teams to integrate tools like ChatGPT, Gamma, and Google Sheets into their daily work. Participants learn through guided demos, real-world scenarios, and practical application tasks.

    Best for organizations undergoing digital transformation or seeking to build AI literacy at all levels — from associates to senior leaders — with a focus on confident, ethical, and practical use.

    What Katalyst sparks:

    • Increased confidence in using AI for communication, data, and presentations

    • Practical workflows tailored to organizational needs

    • Reduced fear of emerging technology

    • Clearer understanding of AI’s role in both work and life

  • “Everything clicked — I felt lighter and more capable.”

    What Katalyst unlocks:

    • Stronger leadership confidence and presence

    • Greater team connection and trust

    • Clearer decision-making and accountability practices

    • Lasting behavioral change beyond the workshop

“There are so many tools — I’m excited to explore more.”

Strengthening Culture and Collaboration

  • “We finally heard each other without defending ourselves.”

    An executive-level workshop using LEGO® Serious Play® to surface unspoken tensions, rebuild trust, and foster cross-functional collaboration. More than a team-building game, it’s a structured methodology that uses metaphor and storytelling to break through entrenched assumptions.

    Best for teams or divisions working on shared initiatives but hindered by silos, misaligned priorities, or strained relationships — particularly where traditional discussions have stalled.

    What Katalyst enables:

    • Honest, constructive conversations about challenges

    • Stronger empathy and understanding across functions

    • Shared visual language and renewed alignment on goals

    • Foundations for co-created KPIs and workflows

  • “I’ve been through many trainings, but this one actually shifted how I show up in difficult conversations.”

    A practical, emotionally intelligent framework for staying grounded, managing pressure, and building stronger relationships at work. It focuses on the skills that create trust, empathy, and resilience under pressure.

    Best for leaders, managers, and teams who need to strengthen self-awareness, manage stress effectively, and foster a positive working culture.

    The change Katalyst can spark:

    • Improved emotional self-regulation in high-pressure situations

    • Stronger workplace relationships and collaboration

    • Increased trust between colleagues and leaders

    • Greater resilience to change and uncertainty

  • “It changed the way we see each other. We stopped trying to ‘fix’ each other and started building on what works.”

    A customized program using the CliftonStrengths® framework to help individuals and teams discover their top talents and apply them to daily work. It combines assessment results with facilitated reflection, practical application, and team alignment activities.

    Best for organizations that want to increase engagement, collaboration, and productivity by helping people work from their strengths rather than fixating on weaknesses.

    What Katalyst delivers:

    • Clear understanding of individual and team strengths

    • Stronger collaboration based on complementary talents

    • Higher engagement and morale

    • More effective role alignment and task delegation

“That was the most constructive conversation we’ve had in months.

“I didn’t expect this kind of honesty from this group. I’ve been here 10 years.”

“It gave me language for things I’ve always felt but couldn’t articulate.”
