Mid-Life Interventionist
Who is a Catalyst Day is for?
A Catalyst Day is for people who know something needs to be dealt with and want to address it directly, in a focused way
It’s used when thinking, talking, or pushing through hasn’t shifted the situation
Does it really work in one day?
Yes. By stripping away the narrative and focusing on what is driving the situation, one day is sufficient to reach the core of the pattern. The constraint of a single day is what makes the work effective
Is this therapy?
No. It is a structured working day focused on the mechanics of a situation, the quality of your judgment, and the specific way responsibility is being handled
What if a situation is highly charged?
If a situation is emotional, it is handled directly and professionally. We address the pressure as a data point in the system so it stops being an obstacle to movement
Practicalities
How long is a Catalyst Day?
Typically five to eight hours, including breaks
Is it in person or online?
Both are available. In-person is preferred for the intensity and focus it provides
What is the process?
The engagement includes pre-work, the Catalyst Day itself, and a follow-up call to ensure the protocol is being implemented
Tools
What methods do you use?
The work draws on various psychological and systemic tools to clarify reactions and dynamics. These are used pragmatically to resolve the specific issue at hand; they are not frameworks for you to adopt or study. The focus remains on the situation, not the methodology
Other Formats
Do you work with teams or groups?
Yes. Small-group formats and corporate interventions are available. Details can be found on the Teams Page
