New leaders who ascend quickly in organizations are just like you but with one likely advantage: they likely have relationships with people who are coaching them behind the scenes, and you do not.
Leaders at all levels are at some point held back by apprehension, fear, worry, insecurity, and so much more. And these feelings are particularly heightened for new leaders.

That is why I’ve created an easy way for you to access training and coaching that will catapult your career as a leader, helping you to stand out among your peers and establish you as a must-needed talent in your organization.
The world is ready and waiting for you to make your mark, so let’s get started.

The Method
Leaders ascend through 4 different macro phases of growth. The Masterclass breaks down the various components of these phases into modules that you will use as your online textbook. Each instructional module, which is pre-recorded and facilitated by Shelisa B. herself, builds on the one before it. You will take what you are learning in each module and apply it in real-time in your role. You will share successes and challenges at coaching calls and with others in the leadership community. Sharing your experiences and learning from others is one of the key factors that will help your career to catapult higher and farther than others at your level.

Situate your place on the leadership pyramid, then learn the strategies and tactics you need to reach the summit. Identify and shed counterproductive habits, triggers, and behavioral patterns to move up from one level to the next.

Choose Catapult
New corporate leaders all navigate the same growing pains. Catapult fast-tracks you through this critical learning curve so that you can hit the ground running. The result? You’ll be the effective, impactful leader that you hope to be “someday,” today.
Catapult is for you if:
- Boost their own productivity in this new, multi-faceted role
- Learn how and what to prioritize in order to have the greatest impact from “go”
- Build relationships at all organizational levels that are mutually rewarding, productive, and that last
- Have employees that are engaged, happy, challenged and fulfilled so they can avoid burnout and turnover
- Align your team to your company’s goals so that everyone feels a sense of purpose, significance, and job satisfaction
- Build trust with your team members and between members on your team for boosted collaboration
- Contribute to the growth of your company with thoughtful, justifiable solutions
- Create a positive cultural environment that is inclusive and offers everyone room for professional growth
Catapult isn’t for you if:
- You’re not in the right mindset. Impactful leadership starts with you and takes humility, honesty, and a desire to learn. If you’re not at a place where this is possible, Catapult might be the right solution for you later, but it isn’t right now.
- You’re looking for validation. Cherry-picking the course for proof that you’re hitting the mark as a leader will be frustrating for you, and counter-productive to other people in the course and our community.
- You don’t have time to do the work. Catapult is a self-paced program that is most effective for students who learn and participate consistently. If you don’t have the time, energy, or bandwidth to invest in your leadership potential now, make the choice to enroll when you do.
