Objective: An experienced professional in the resources sector was preparing to step into a broader leadership role. With children grown and a renewed focus on her professional journey, she was ready to prioritise her own growth, transitioning from a strong individual contributor and small-team manager into a senior, enterprise-level leader. The goal: gain clarity on career direction, build confidence, and position herself effectively for advancement.

Approach: Catalyst Strategy provided tailored coaching support through an intuitive and individualised approach. Rather than applying a single framework, the engagement centred around deep listening and asking powerful, insight-driven questions that helped the client understand (and articulate) her strengths, leadership style, and the unique value she brought to senior roles.

Together, we explored leadership presence, how she could enhance her career positioning and perception both within and outside formal interview settings, and developed strategies to set her up for success in the role she aspired to. The coaching journey became a space for reflection, practical preparation, and mindset shift, turning ambition into confidence and clarity.

Positive Impact: The client successfully secured a significant national leadership role with expanded scope, team size, and remuneration. Just as importantly, she shifted her self-view, recognising her readiness for leadership and showing it to others with confidence and authenticity.

“From our first meeting it was obvious that coaching and mentoring is a passion and a strength… Through active listening and probing questioning he gets to the heart of the matter. His advice, guidance and support were invaluable in enabling me to achieve the next step in my career.”
