A Catalyst is an agent that provokes or speeds significant change or action.

Catalyst is a one-day program focused on learning to develop your own authentic path, connect to groups and causes you care about, and commit to a plan to be a catalyst for yourself and the groups you’re part of. This program is designed to start something extraordinary. 

You’ll consider powerful questions that move you towards action:

Am I on the right path?

Who do I want to be? 

How can I connect with other like-minded individuals? 

In small-group dialogue, large group interaction, and personal reflection, you’ll learn alongside others who also want to start something extraordinary.

We’re intentional about approaching our relationship with you as a partnership, whether we’re working together to plan a program that lasts for six days or for one. When we partner with campuses and organizations, we believe working successfully together moves us all one step closer to our vision — a just, caring, thriving world where everyone leads with integrity and a healthy disregard for the impossible.

Timeline

Costs

With this format of Catalyst, we train people on your campus to facilitate this program to your students. This 12-month license allows you to facilitate Catalyst to students on your campus as many times as you’d like, for a minimum of 60 participants. 

  • $2,500 for a one-year license for 1-4 facilitators from your university/organization to be trained and certified to facilitate the program
  • $4,500 for a one-year license for 5-12 facilitators from your university/organization to be trained and certified to facilitate the program
  • Once you are certified as a Catalyst facilitator, you can purchase Catalyst supplies directly from LeaderShape. The cost for supplies is $35 per person. This includes everything needed to fully execute the session of Catalyst.

What we Provide

  • A mandatory 90-minute virtual training session for each person who will be facilitating Catalyst
  • Access to a Catalyst coach prior to facilitating their first Catalyst session to help the facilitator learn more about bringing the curriculum to life
  • An evaluation and feedback session with a LeaderShape staff member after each Catalyst program has been facilitated

Impact

“Catalyst accomplishes more in one day than some leadership programs can do in a year! It makes leadership accessible for all students, regardless of their leadership ‘role’ on campus. It is a great way to unite your student population and engage them in intentional activities and conversations about bettering themselves and their university communities. I highly recommend this program!”
