Leslie's Catalysts is a fairly regular--every three weeks or so--newsletter focused on powerful questions, insights evoked by my experience and learning, and, what inspires me.
My goal is to be forthright about where I'm at and what's got my attention in the moment, and to provoke thoughts and reflections and creativity and growth. So, my catalysts are aimed to provide roughly five minutes of thought-provoking, mild disruption.
I hope you'll check out some of the past newsletters. If you like them, please subscribe!Thanks! Leslie
President, Catalyst Consulting Group, consultant, author, speaker Leslie's measure of her success as a business leader and consultant is that
she applies to herself first all the consulting principles in which she engages
her clients. In her work as an organizational development / change management
consultant, her goal is not to be positioned as an expert but rather as a
trusted advisor.
She founded Catalyst Consulting Group, Inc. in 1987. Her
philosophy is simple: People are basically good, well intentioned, courageous,
and able to learn. Her job is to provide a framework in which people can draw
on their own inner resources to find creative solutions.
Her consulting work
has supported organizational success in diverse industries and non-profit
fields with its focus on organizational change, strategic planning, and, above
all, healthy sustainable organizational performance. Her expertise has a simple
and profound focal point: that a person's work life best serves organizational
success when it also sustains the highest purposes of the person. Leslie holds
an adjunct faculty position at Weatherhead's Dively Center for Executive
Education at Case Western Reserve University.
