“The Catalyst” was created for moments like this.

When the world feels heavier, more complex, and less certain, leaders don’t need more noise — they need clarity, courage, and grounded ways to act.

Each month, The Catalyst shares what I’m seeing across sectors, communities, and conversations, and translates it into practical frameworks, strategic insight, and tangible next steps you can actually use.

This isn’t commentary from the sidelines.
It’s perspective shaped inside the work.

What You’ll Find Inside Each Issue

Every edition of The Catalyst includes:

  • A Framework or Tool
    A clear, human-centred way to think about — and move through — complexity.

  • Field Notes
    What’s emerging across leaders, teams, systems, and communities right now — and why it matters.

  • Spotlights
    People, projects, and partnerships doing meaningful work and modelling what’s possible.

  • Media & Conversations
    Podcasts, talks, and resources that go deeper than surface-level inspiration.

  • An Action Prompt
    One grounded question or step to help you move from intention to action.

  • Occasional Subscriber-Only Invitations
    Including strategic sessions, reflections, or early access to new ideas.

The Catalyst is for you if:

  • You’re leading — formally or informally — and feeling the weight of responsibility

  • You care deeply about people, purpose, and impact

  • You’re navigating complexity, change, or uncertainty

  • You want your work to make things better, not just busier

  • You’re tired of recycled advice and ready for grounded, strategic thinking

This is not a newsletter about trends or hacks.
It’s for people who are doing the work, and whom want to do it well.

I write The Catalyst as both a practitioner and a partner. Someone inside the work, asking the same questions you are.

My commitment is simple:
to share what’s real, what’s working, and what’s worth paying attention to — especially in complex times.

If that sounds supportive, you’re in the right place.
