“The ability to shift from reacting against the past to leaning into and presencing an emerging future is probably the single most important leadership capacity today.”

— C .Otto. Scharmer

At Catalyst 14, we have been delivering highly effective online experiential learning programmes since our inception. Due to the advances in technology, and our belief that coaches need to be highly effective at working online, our courses and events have always made extensive use of virtual learning environments (so coaches can practice working online whilst receiving feedback from our team).

Recently we have further developed our online offering, and are now pleased to provide our popular Introduction to the Fundamentals of Transformational Coaching online. You’ll find full details below, and if you have any queries, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
