Creating a future where bold,
positive change is the norm.
Whether through our tailored Catalyst Programs, hands-on courses, or by fostering a network of like-minded leaders, Catalyst Constellations is committed to accelerating positive change and ensuring that organizations and the Catalysts they employ have the space to rejuvenate, collaborate, and transform themselves for the future.
Why We Are Here
Catalyst Constellations aims to empower organizations and Catalysts to drive bold, powerful change in the world.
For Catalysts
We leverage personal experience and research-driven tools to educate, coach, and connect these dynamic change-makers. Our goal is to enable Catalysts to achieve their aspirations more quickly and effectively while minimizing burnout. We know that when Catalysts are supported and connected, they can amplify their impact and create powerful, lasting change. And we build the communities that enable them to do that.
For Organizations
We partner with companies to help them accelerate change, build resiliency and retain high-potential talent. We work with them to identify and nurture Catalyst employees, the (often hidden) innovative problem solvers who are essential for effective change and transformation. We provide tools, training and coaching for these individuals, and the wider leadership team, to ensure that together they’re ready to tackle their most critical challenges.
“When I first learned about Catalysts, I immediately recognized my challenges and now had a name for them! Working with Catalyst Constellations has helped me augment my broad skillset, validated the ways in which I deploy them, and enabled me to express my talents more powerfully. The Catalyst Constellations team stretches me like a great workout – leaving me vaguely uncomfortable but in a satisfying way. I deeply value the reframes and expanded options working with them has created and this has pushed me to accomplish my goals in a way that is more satisfying as well as effective.”

Tracey's passion for understanding and nurturing Catalysts led her to conduct in-depth research, uncovering the unique skills, challenges, and patterns that define them. By 2017, she had built a robust research base and formed a business partnership with Shannon Lucas, creating Catalyst Constellations.

“I’ve worked with Catalyst Constellations on several executive team projects and I was impressed by how quickly they understood team dynamics and gave insightful guidance that really helped our team work more effectively. Catalyst Constellations does incredible preparation and can then flexibly adjust in the moment. They establish rapport with a group really quickly and sets an atmosphere that makes my executive team eager to come to offsites – and after one of our recent projects revisiting company culture and values, employee survey feedback was very positive as well. I really value the positive energy and depth of experience brought — they help make big challenges much more pleasant to tackle!”
