Be an ethical leader, not a laggard.

Companies listed on the stock exchange have a regulatory obligation to provide ethics training and report on it. Catalyst Leadership can help you turn that obligation into an opportunity.

How? We develop your leaders in a way that aligns inner ethical development with external ethical impact. Our unique approach accelerates your company’s progress towards being recognised as world-class ethical business.

It is a truly transformational way to release potential.

Sustainable leadership development: connecting the IDG’s with the SDG’s.

Achieving the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals is crucial for our collective future. Many companies aspire to make a positive impact as measured by the SDGs. Yet despite the clear vision and high stakes, business impacts are disappointing. 

Why? Because companies can only transform as much as their people do. That’s why there is now a global movement to undertake leadership development that addresses the Inner Development Goals.

The Spillers are experts in both SDGs and IDGs, and can help your business build the transformational skills required for sustainable development.
