This is what we know
You want to shift the dial on equity, inclusion and diversity in your organisation.
You aren’t interested in tick-box approaches that don’t deliver meaningful, positive change.
You want to do the things that’ll make a real difference for your people and your organisation (and you’d like to change the world).
You want to see a genuinely inclusive and equitable culture, where people feel valued and like they can bring their best.
You’re up for doing the work that will make a real difference. You know that the work is messy and complex and maybe even overwhelming.
You need help to know where to begin, what to do and how to get the results that you want to see.
We love what you’re doing in the world, and we’re here to help you!
We each bring 15+ years of hands on, practical, results-orientated experience.
We understand what it takes to shift organisational systems. We know how to build inclusive leadership capacity. We know what works and what doesn’t.
We appreciate that every context is different and we listen to what you want and what you need.
Not quite sure where to start? Curious about how we can help you?
“As a group of dance education sector leaders, we had been meeting for some time to consider how to improve racial equity within our organisations. Katy helped us take this work forward by designing a bespoke EDI leadership programme to suit our particular needs and context. We each came to the programme at very different starting points, but Katy skilfully led us towards a common understanding of racism and what we can do individually and collectively to make positive change. We left feeling empowered, more knowledgeable and with a strengthen commitment to continue this journey together.”
“Katy has been a great support to our Global Inclusion Council in the way that she has reviewed our various DEI strategies and through her collaborative style, challenged us to consider fresh ideas which will enable the business to move to the next level of DEI maturity and ultimately deliver better all round business results. Thank for all your support Katy.”
“I started working with Katy earlier this year as a 1:1 DEI coach, as I wanted to deepen my knowledge (as well as my confidence) in leading the DEI strategy in my business. She immediately created a safe yet challenging space for me to reflect, plan and adjust, which in turn enabled me to achieve in a very short time much richer and more impactful DEI conversations in my business.
Katy’s warmth and encouragement, blended with edge and a skill in landing the best questions, meant I walked away from each session with a clear idea of what I needed to do.
DEI work and bringing a business on a journey require eloquence, bravery and insight, which Katy helped unlock. It’s meant that we’ve more clarity on our DEI strategy as a business, and a deeper understanding of what activities we should be prioritising.”
“Thanks for all your support this year Katy, it has been amazing and we would not have won the IIP Excellence in the Third Sector award had it not been for the program that you created and ran for us. So you really are making a difference!”
“Katy has been a fantastic critical friend, ally, facilitator, coach and idea co-creator working with us over the last six months.”
“Katy Murray and Carol Tavernier from Catalyst Collective facilitated a D&I employee consultation with our employees across 5 different country offices. The consultations used thought provoking images and questions to get groups to think creatively on a range of issues, including our culture, benefits of D&I and where we are on our D&I journey.
Katy and Carol were able to provide a safe space for employees to share their experiences and contribute to discussions. Both were engaging and demonstrated high emotional intelligence during the sessions whilst ensuring that everyone contributed.
In line with our requirements, an analysis of the employee consultation was provided to the leadership team. The analysis provided real insight into how employees viewed the company and D&I journey etc. This analysis and the learning resulting from the consultations, will be used to continue to build our D&I. We appreciate the support provided by Katy and Carol and will certainly work with Catalyst Collective again in the future”
