It's time. ✨ Announcing the evolution of Katalyst ✨


Same mission.

Still building new ways...new systems so that we all can WIN.

Introducing KatalystEDU.

For the past five years, I've been helping people turn their years (often decades) of expertise into thriving, values-aligned, and connected consulting businesses through our nonprofit consultant mastermind community.

Now I am scaling that work in a big way with KatalystEDU, a new learning platform (think MasterClass x Mindvalley with a Katalyst flair).

We are spending the next four months piloting this new concept with three pilot learning episodes--professionally produced, expertly taught by people just like you and me, who have done the thing, learned the lessons, and now have the wisdom to help you solve the specific problems you are trying to overcome.

No more piecing together learnings on YouTube, a bunch of different podcasts, and newsletters. We want to bring all the people you can learn from here...in one place.

After the successful pilot, the platform will expand with additional 45-60 minute lessons, taught from real lived experience, from voices not often platformed as "experts" on categories such as Sales (the framework for how one consultant has closed 80% of the deals she has gone after), Growth & Scale (the steps to go from solopreneur to multiple income streams), Business Development (the art of relationship building), Money & Wealth (the five finance moves you need to make today to set you and your business up for success) and Mindset (the required mental steps to go from employee to entrepreneur).

The library will be built over time. And we are starting right now.

We see this as the continuation of the ecosystem we've been building over time to give us access to all the things we need to help us get more free.

We've done community. We've done holistic in real life care and connection. And now we're formally doing education + learning.

It will take a village to pull off this proof of concept, but everything (the signs have been SIGNING for many, many months now) is telling me it is time.

$9K is our first milestone to be able to sign the contract with the woman of color owned production company I've found and have fallen in love with here in Orlando.

If anything I've ever done or shared has ever helped you in any way over the past five years, supporting this in any way that feels good to you is how you can say thank you. 🙏🏿🙏🏿

In Solidarity (and with lots and lots of love).

Hey Reader, Well, this was a fun surprise.I discovered today that theGrio recently featured Katalyst and my work in a story about why Black women are rethinking what success is supposed to feel like. Outlets publishing things about us without me even knowing is definitely a new business (and life!) level unlocked.I’ve been talking about this for years.For so many women I work with who have pivoted to independent consulting or are considering it, the question isn’t simply, “How do I become...

Hey Reader, Something dropped yesterday that I think every nonprofit consultant needs to know about. And I want to give you my honest take before the panic sets in. On August 31, Candid made its AI fundraising assistant broadly available to Candid Search users. It can now help organizations find aligned funders, evaluate eligibility, analyze award history, recommend an ask amount, build prospect pipelines, and draft initial letters of inquiry. In plain terms: the tool does a significant...

Hey, Reader, This is Part 2 on yesterday's email. Let’s calculate EBITDA. EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. For a small consulting practice, think of it as an operating health check: How much did the business produce after covering the normal costs of delivering the work and running the business? The calculation changes slightly depending on how you pay yourself. Let’s use a $150,000 consulting practice. If you pay yourself through payroll:...
