Is this you?
Your leadership team and staff are looking to YOU to lead inclusion work, and you want to keep up the momentum
These conversations can still feel awkward and uncomfortable, you’re experiencing resistance and you want to engage your senior stakeholders in fresh ways
You want to integrate anti-racist approaches into your EDIB programmes, to accelerate your strategy, work with the resistance and navigate the complexity at different levels. You know racism is present in your organisation, you want to call it out so you can all do better
You want to create safe and brave space in your organisation, so that everyone feels they can speak up
You want to feel even more agile with inclusion topics, calling out behaviours and challenging with compassion and skill, increasing allyship inside your company
You want to create a joy-filled culture where everyone feels like they can belong
You’re passionate about advocating and supporting inclusion, diversity and anti-racism work, even though it’s ‘side of desk’
You’re not interested in transactional tokenistic interventions, you want transformational change!
You want to know what strategies will make an actual difference, and what’s a waste of time, money and energy
You can, at times, feel lonely, overwhelmed and dispirited in this work - you’d like to find a group of EDIB champions who can cheerlead you and hold you to account in your change-making work if so, then this programme is for you!
You’ll feel empowered to lead the EDIB work inside your organisation,
integrating a deeper courage, fluency and impact.

who will you be working with?
Hi I’m Katy Murray from Catalyst Collective and I’m delighted to convene and host this EDIB Leaders Programme for you. I’ll be inviting guest experts and co-facilitators from the Catalyst Collective team and network to join us in our programme.
I take an intersectional approach and I’m passionate about resourcing change makers (that’s YOU!) to create a more inclusive world. I’m kind but I don’t collude- expect compassionate challenge!
Katy Murray has 20+ years’ experience in OD, cultural change and leadership development, across 35 different countries and multiple sectors. She started the work to unpack her whiteness 9 years ago and is on the journey to embed anti-racist practice into her life, work and leadership. She’s recently named one of 2023’s most inspiring D+I leaders, and her book Change Makers a Woman’s Guide to Stepping Up without Burning Out was published by Kogan Page in 2022 and shortlisted for a Business Book Award 2023. She’s the Director of Catalyst Collective. More about Katy here.

Why are we running this programme?
Over 20+ years of consulting we’ve seen the impact and wearing on EDIB leaders and practitioners. Your roles are getting squeezed, the demands are increasing. Rates of overwhelm and burnout are high - the psychological and physical impact of this work is a thing! We want to play our part to resource and support you to be sustainable in this essential work you do.
What others say about working with Katy and Catalyst Collective
“Fabulous, powerful, thought provoking session. I can now see positive ways to navigate inclusion.
I feel really inspired about changing my practice. Thank you!”
“The metaphors that you use are powerful and it’s a relief to have that to make sense of the struggle.
I’ve become much more aware of how my own unconscious bias is shaping my practice. ”
“Working with Katy has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my career so far, and I am so thankful for this. From the start I knew that Katy was going to be my biggest cheerleader, but also challenge my thinking in a way that someone never had. She is such a naturally skilled coach, and she just knew what to do to help me capitalise on my strengths and my passions. Her friendly manner meant it was easy for me to open up to her, but her sharp perceptiveness is what kept me on track. She has provided me with all the guidance, stretch, tactics and exposure that is allowing me to feel connected and confident in a role that I love.”
“Katy’s been a fantastic critical friend, ally, facilitator, coach and idea co-creator working with the Start Network over the last six months. Katy holds space beautifully, enabling colleagues to really listen and engage with one another.
Katy helped me to dial up our diversity and inclusion work in light of the Black Lives Matter awakening. This included a design jam session for all staff to be involved in discussing issues and mapping the complexity. We’ve begun to have courageous conversations. We’re now co-creating a pathway to lead from conversations to commitments, whilst allowing space to keep listening and adapting.
I’d highly recommend working with Katy if you want someone to challenge your thinking, ask probing questions that get to the heart of issues rather than dancing around them, and to enable supportive spaces.”
