Three Questions to Accelerate Your Leadership
Extract from University of Auckland Short Sharp Series
We build leadership capacity at multiple levels and have specialist expertise in developing leadership at senior levels where Peter’s credibility is often drawn on to facilitate sessions where robust challenging of the content is common, and where the application of the ideas and tools into difficult situations is required.
Since 1992, Peter has been designing and delivering long-term, integrated leadership development programmes. These vary from 2-day programmes (with follow-up) through to 6-18 month programmes. The design and delivery incorporates various combinations of workshops, peer coaching, reflective writing, 1:1 coaching, on-line learning, and leadership projects.
Peter’s facilitation style is described as insightful, practical, energising and challenging. Clients appreciate his commitment to delivering tools that are practical; facilitating sessions that allow them to apply the principles and tools to real situations; and using his experiences and insight to challenge and extend their thinking.
The combination of Peter’s experience, depth of underpinning research, and unique global perspective, can give you confidence that the approach we design together will work for you.

Examples of Our Work
A 9-month leadership development programme
The programme was designed and facilitated by CATALYST4 with content regularly updated to reflect the needs within the industry.
The delivery consists of workshops aligned to the SSC Leadership Success Profile, peer coaching, developing reflective practice, and real organisational change projects supported by an online learning platform.
An 18-month leadership development programme to assist leaders to transition into General Management roles co-designed by CATALYST4.
CATALYST4 worked closely with the executive and internal HR teams to design and support senior executives in delivering key sessions – including an internal case study, executive led workshops on key leadership topics, and executive panel Q&A’s.
CATALYST4 also incorporated customised exercises based on actual work experiences (including videoed sessions of meetings); facilitated targeted skill based workshops, and integrated their workshops with partner consulting organisations.
A six month leadership development programme for a global organisation, focused on ‘leading across the organisation’ co-designed by CATALYST4 and the internal HR team.
The programme incorporated international leadership experts, internal executive presentations and case studies, with development sessions facilitated by CATALYST4, and collaborative leadership projects.
Designing the future leadership development architecture with a large global manufacturing and consumer goods firm.
When this global organisation wanted to significantly revamp its leadership development offerings, CATALYST4 plus a leading Australian consultant were selected to work with the internal OD/HR team to create an integrated leadership development framework.
This included creating a high-level design for a global leadership programme for direct reports to the executive team, talent assessment forums, a flagship middle management leadership programme, and programmes supporting key transitions.
Reviewing leadership development approaches within a global professional services firm.
CATALYST4 provided recommendations on the overall leadership development system based on best practice development principles and recommended changes to their leadership competency framework.
The result was the creation of an integrated leadership development system that was tailored to key leadership transitions within the organisation.
