Catalyst Programme
Cohort 1
What is Catalyst?
The Catalyst programme is a pioneering, transformative leadership development experience. Catalyst has been designed to enable Racially Diverse Leaders to navigate LinkedIn and inspire you to take on expanded roles, pursue leadership and/or promotional opportunities more successfully. It is our belief that successfully navigating the corporate landscape and positioning yourself for promotion demands effective personal leadership of self, others, and the wider environment.
What are the objectives?
The objectives of Catalyst are to:
- As a Racially Diverse Leader, provide you with renewed clarity of purpose, commitment, and strategies for pursuing your career at LinkedIn.
- Identify the behaviours you need to change, shift or grow in order to progress your career at LinkedIn.
- Challenge the status quo. It is not about helping you fix yourself so that you fit into existing norms, but about helping you learn how to progress in a system as empowered authentic leaders and individuals.
- Help you become agents of change for inclusion that proactively contribute to the creation of a high performing inclusive organisation.
What will we cover?
The Catalyst Programme is made up of 5 modules, each of which is divided into Virtual Workshops (VW) which contain a variety of exercises for you to complete in advance.
In addition, there are a number of Leadership Assessment Exercises you will undertake, and you will also receive 2 Borderless Executive Coaching Sessions.
