"Our L4 Leadership two-day workshop was great for our top team. It got us on the same page on some key leadership issues. We diagnosed our organization like a group of doctors with a patient. It was productive and helped us make improvements that streamlined work flow and increased organizational performance. I learned a lot from the feedback report I received from direct reports & colleagues about my leadership style. Subsequently, I worked with a leadership coach from Catalyst on these & other goals I had for myself."

Byron Kerns, Vice President of Claims

"Catalyst presented a wonderful workshop for our employee group that helped them identify their limiting beliefs in key areas and transform them to empowering beliefs. It was extremely innovative, definitely active training at it's finest — the presenter was engaging, fun — & received as high ratings as any trainer we have had."

Karen Wolfram, HR Director
Genencor International


"Over the past 20 years, I have worked with Catalyst in 4 companies. They have consistently provided practical, effective leadership & organizational development consulting. The L4 Leadership program is a great two day retreat. It is highly interactive — and breakthrough. I learned to think about leadership in a new way with my staff. We received some powerful feedback from our company about planning, infrastructure, communication, & recognition needs that we are systematically addressing. We have highly productive dialogue within the structure of the L4 model. This is becoming a norm at TruLight."

Marc Philip Reiner, Chief Executive Officer
TruLight Corporation


"The L4 model of leadership makes sense. We introduced this to our organization in Year 2000 with two two-day retreats for our entire management team. It was tremendously well received. We have a team-based organizational structure. Our leadership group unanimously decided to have the entire company trained in this model to enhance communication and to get powerful feedback from our employee group in a structured and safe way that gave us trend information about what they needed from us to improve company performance. We have used this trend information to make important changes. It was useful to have it  organized by priority."

"Catalyst has done a number of training programs for us over the past several years including FLEXCommunication using DiSC®, Assertive Communication, Conflict Resolution using the Thomas-Kilmann®, & The Gift of Feedback. We rolled L4 Leadership out to our top leadership group and mid-managers over the past two years. We learned so much about our organization and how we can lead to enhance staff performance. Our facilitator was highly skilled and fully engaged our various groups in the process of learning. We had a lot of fun and learned a lot about ourselves and leadership."

"Over the past several years, Catalyst has provided multiple interactive workshops & facilitations including Understanding Emotional Intelligence, Managing Difficult Communications, Writing S.M.A.R.T. Goals, The Gift of Feedback, Inquiry & others for all levels of management. All of them have gotten the highest ratings from our various groups. We strive to create and maintain a state-of-the-art culture so we can attract and retain the best available people. In fact, we just received the award for being one of the 50 Best Companies to Work For in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area. Actually, we were #1 In our category."

Linda Hemmings, HR Director

"We publish some of the leading tools and assessments in the field of training & organizational development including the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®). Catalyst worked with me to design a one day workshop based on the MBTI® for 50 of our leaders. The workshop was customized to our leadership group and the topic of World Class Communication with our highly valued internal and external customers. I don't think our facilitator spoke more than a total of 30 minutes; we did all the talking. The entire design was interactive, based on active training principles, and it worked! We collectively came up with the trends that everyone in the group needed to ensure great communication — which is predictive of what the rest of the world wants from us."
