About The Phoenix Catalyst

The Phoenix Catalyst's journey started with firsthand experience of the failure of DEIB programs. Over the years, our founder heard frustrations from both sides and decided to take action.

She first got involved in company Employee Resource Groups (ERG) and worked towards change through them. Then, she created lunch-and-learn modules on inclusivity, led by example, and shared her inclusive leadership practices with others. She successfully advocated for creating a neurodiversity ERG, one of the first of its kind.

After experiencing a corporate layoff, she had free time, skills, and knowledge. She became a catalyst for change and rose from the ashes to solve a growing problem - the perceived failure of DEIB programs.

Our mission is simple: to help organizations cultivate a culture of belonging through inclusive leadership.

Although it may not sound simple, it is. We are not afraid to have difficult conversations and confront hard truths, as growth happens at the edge of the comfort zone.

We aim to help leaders and executives become comfortable with discomfort and show them that they can transform and become catalysts of change.
