Activation ONE
One Leader. One Coach. Fast Results – Unlock the Path to Excellence
Traditional executive coaching has its limitations. It often gets caught up in the urgent, overlooking the strategic. It can be too slow to adapt, focusing narrowly on the individual without considering the broader team or organizational context. It creates dependence on the coach. And when coaches are former executives, the process can drift into advice-giving, missing the opportunity for leader-generated transformation.
Your leaders deserve more. They need an experience that’s as dynamic and strategic as the challenges they face.
More than Executive Coaching
Activation ONE is a six-month, high-impact one-on-one engagement that goes beyond the limitations of traditional executive coaching. Here, your leaders won’t just receive coaching or advice. Instead, they’ll undergo a systematic transformation—powered by IOTA™, our development “operating system”—that aligns their growth with their team’s needs and relevant business objectives, ensuring they’re leading with purpose, clarity, and confidence.
When you Need the Power of One-on-one
Activation ONE is for your most influential leaders—those whose decisions ripple across the organization. These are the leaders who need to balance the urgent with the strategic and be at their best, not just for themselves, but for everyone they lead.
This program provides them with a dedicated coach to be alongside them as they tackle big challenges and offers unlimited email and phone communication so that your leaders have someone to turn to wherever they need support.
Transform Your Leaders
Leaders who complete Activation ONE don’t just incrementally improve—they transform. They become more than just skilled managers; they become strategic, self-aware, and adaptive leaders who drive real change.
They’ll move beyond focusing solely on immediate issues and instead lead with a clear vision that elevates their teams and propels your company forward. From turning around struggling teams to championing innovation, the results are not just impactful—they’re game-changing.
No quick fixes or generic advice
Activation ONE rewires how your leaders approach leadership. Our unique approach combines personalized coaching, micro-learning, personality assessment, and real-time application to ensure that growth happens within the context of your company’s specific challenges and opportunities.
Unlike traditional coaching that may get bogged down in the day-to-day or lean too heavily on past experiences, Activation ONE is forward-looking and context-driven. We don’t just focus on the individual leader in isolation—we help them understand and leverage their influence within the broader organizational ecosystem
The Catalano Group took time to get to know me and my organization’s internal dynamics and unique challenges. They pin-pointed specific opportunities – some of which were “blind spots” for me, and developed a highly tailored action plan that was truly transformative. I am a lifelong learner who has studied, practiced, and even taught leadership and organizational development for over 30 years but I can say unequivocally that the coaching I received from The Catalano Group was the single best leadership training I’ve ever received. The Catalano Group has my most enthusiastic endorsement and recommendation.
