Featuring inspirational thought leaders including the authors of global best sellers ‘The Chimp Paradox”, “Legacy” and “High Performance”. With access to great minds and inspiring content, this programme will provide you with practical tools to take away and apply.
I love people and missing the physical connection I didn’t think I would get as much from a virtual programme – but I couldn’t be more wrong! I really appreciated mixing with different folk in the rooms rather than people just on the tables, the smaller numbers brought much more focused in depth (at some points) discussions. The polls were useful and something we may not have done in person. I felt really connected all the way through.

I left each session full of ideas, thoughts on new ways or working and inspired to learn and do more. And most importantly I’ve utilised more ideas, frameworks and thinking from Change Catalyst than any other training programme I’ve attended in my entire career. I would recommend the programme to any leader or aspiring leader who is looking to challenge their own thinking and improve their leadership skills. World class!

What attracted me to Change Catalyst is the idea of being able to connect with people from different industries, exchange ideas and to hear from specialists in the area. I really like the speakers, I’ve heard about the majority of them and I was excited to also attend lectures from speakers I’ve never heard of before, so when I saw Change Catalyst and the opportunity came and landed on my desk I didn’t even think about it.

As the name indicates Change Catalyst is truly an inspiring leadership catalyst. I was an international participant on Change Catalyst as I was spending time between India and the UK and it was phenomenally helpful to be part of a diverse group and exchange thoughts/ideas.

Highly recommend! I am on the current cohort and love it. Some thought-provoking as well as inspirational content from a range of interesting speaker backgrounds.
Lots to take away from each session! Having measured the impact of the acquisition of learning from each one, on my own development, I feel something is shifting.
The progressive models covered in Change Catalyst are aimed at challenging the status quo. Great moments to build in self-reflection and peer discussions to challenge the way I usually lead. Thought provoking content and speakers who were action orientated and practical in their recommendations.
I feel that being at home made for a more relaxed environment where I was able to take in much more. I’ve been much more productive work wise as I’ve been able to work top/end and catch anything critical during lunch.

Change catalyst undoubtedly offers thought provoking insights and useful tools across key leadership domains and I always looked forward to the sessions.
