Catalista exists to develop and empower authentic and compassionate leaders, equipping them with the skills for high-performance and transformation. We dream of a world where life-sustaining values are at the heart of every leader.
Our belief and experience is that leadership is a practice of awareness, compassion, courage and connection - not control, hierarchy or titles. Traditional leadership models, often rooted in patriarchal, individualistic and capitalist frameworks, continue to reproduce harm: perpetuating trauma, inequality, fragmentation and ecological destruction.
We believe in a different kind of leadership – one grounded in justice and interdependence. Being in connection – with self, others, systems and the Earth. Leadership means noticing your blind spots, surfacing your biases, and creating the conditions for others to thrive. It’s about leading with purpose, empathy and integrity, in relationship with people and planet
Our awareness-based leadership programmes invite individuals and teams to step into their own authentic power and presence. Drawing on over 20 years of global experience, cutting-edge research, coaching and experiential group work, we work with young leaders, teams and organisations across sectors.
We support teams to reflect on the culture they’re creating: Are you still operating from outdated assumptions? Could your structure, communication or leadership style be more connected, just, or effective?
Our approach is grounded in a proven methodology refined over two decades of global delivery to meet the evolving needs of leaders and organisations.
Our programmes offer practical tools and embodied frameworks in communication, listening, purpose, wellbeing, organisational structure, ecological awareness and leadership styles. Our goal is to support a new generation of leaders – aware, compassionate and equipped to co-create systems that centre justice, sustainability and human dignity.
