"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
