Developing Next Generation Leaders to Fuel Your Organization’s Success

The transition to management is critical for the success of your emerging leaders and ultimately, your organization. It’s also where a lot of places fail their rising stars.

At Catalyzed Leadership, we help emerging leaders develop strategic thinking, communication skills, and people-centered leadership to lead effective teams and strengthen their organizations for what's next.

The Catalyzed Leadership Framework

Built on the core principles of self-awareness, success formulas, and applied strategic practice, the Catalyzed Leadership Framework guides emerging leaders as they move from exceptional individual contributors to strategic leaders across their organizations.

Meet Your Coach, Emily DeYoung

For more than twenty years, I worked at the intersection of education, hospitality, and the meetings and events industry. Throughout my career, I became known as a collaborative leader who could balance strategic thinking with authentic human connection.

I had the opportunity to work alongside exceptional leaders who were driving ambitious goals and meaningful impact within their organizations. Despite their different industries and leadership styles, many shared a common challenge: developing talent and building strong leadership pipelines for the future.

Those experiences deepened my longstanding curiosity about leadership and organizational development. Through years of hands-on experience, internal leadership opportunities, and formal coach training, I developed a passion for supporting emerging leaders as they navigate growth, influence, and increased responsibility.

Today, I help organizations invest more intentionally in leadership development by supporting the people stepping into leadership roles for the first time to strengthen confidence, communication, strategic thinking, and long-term leadership capacity.
