To revolutionise the industry through people
Hear from those who have chosen us as their training solution...
Catalyst has been a key partner in delivering ‘Lead-INN the Business’, our flagship leadership programme at The Inn Collection Group.
From day one, they brought energy, expertise, and genuine care, delivering six of the twelve workshops with a bold, practical, and human approach. Beyond the sessions, their consistent support — through coaching, check-ins, and encouragement — helped build lasting confidence and momentum.
The impact is clear: three women have since been promoted to General Manager roles, a major step toward more inclusive leadership.
Catalyst’s facilitators brought real hospitality experience, emotional intelligence, and a no-nonsense style that truly resonated. More than trainers, they’ve been collaborators — helping us shift from development to transformation and empowering our people to lead with confidence.
