Amazing lunch and learn with the glorious Cath Bell from the Awakened Company! Thank you Cath for working with our team to explore awake/ asleep practices. Mindfulness at work is important for all of us at CanLearn. I recommend diving in, we were so glad that we did!

Krista Poole - CEO - CanLearn Society

As a small group facilitator at the New Mexico Leaders in Mindfulness Conference 2016, Catherine broke the mold. Participants walked away truly understanding the importance of awakened relationships across all aspects of their lives, but particularly the difference they can make at the workplace. With lightness, scientific evidence and a true sense of community, she was one of the Conference favorites.

Sidni Lamb - Social Transformation Agent, Mindfulness-based Trainer

Catherine and her team facilitated a meaningful integration of a new recruit into our BluEarth team. Using a variety of tools, they helped us understand our entire team better, including how to capitalize on our individual strengths and characteristics. Our team is definitely stronger, thanks to Catherine’s efforts.

Sheri Wise - Vice President, Controller - BluEarth Renewables

Thank you for your captivating presentations and exercises. The CEOs really enjoyed your fresh ideas and I know all will now strive to create more awakened companies.

Lorraine Moore - Chair - MacKay CEO Forums

Catherine was the keynote speaker at a social innovation event that REAP hosted. Her presentation combined traditional and modern techniques to surprise and delight our guests, challenging us all to awaken to our full potential as individuals, members of teams, and leaders of organizations. Catherine’s commitment to practice what she preaches is both inspiring and insightful as she leads the movement toward a new economic model. Her book should be required reading for every business leader and, when accompanied by a presentation to your team, is sure to create results!

Stephanie Jackman - President & Founder, REAP Business Association

As a leader and facilitator, she was both fluid and focused, fierce and nurturing, spending time where the team needed to go deeper and going far beyond the established agenda for the day to make sure we were all aligned in the same direction. Catherine is a gem and a true professional. Visionary, strong, and grounded. I had the privilege of learning from Catherine at an all day team building session with a diverse team of leaders. What impressed me first: her total commitment to the work that needed to be done for the team to understand each other and to know ourselves better to improve our performance. She set a powerful context to open difficult conversations quickly.

Our Program

Developed from best-selling and award-winning book, The Awakened Company, our program is comprised of 6 Key Areas that follow our proven Awakened Company System.

We are a committed team who will work closely with you to develop a program that makes sense for your organization and guide you through our proven system to make better leaders, better teams and better organizations.

Our System

Step 1:

We meet with you to discuss the challenges your organization is facing and work with you to conduct our Organizational Health Assessment. We will sit down with you to go through the results and discuss areas of strength and potential areas for improvement for us to focus on. Based on this, we will recommend: (a) a Keynote address, followed by a workshop (which we call a Playshop) or (b) an Awakened Strategy (with soul) Tune Up or Reset session followed by (a).

Step 2:

Working closely with you, we will design and deliver our Keynote, Playshop and Strategy (with soul) Session to you, based on our Awakened Company System:

  • Outcomes of the Strategy (with soul) Session: greater clarity on the purpose and direction of your organization and by-in from your team.
  • Outcomes of the Keynote and Playshop: a Team Development & Individual Relationship Plan with specific, trackable behaviours.

Step 3:

After a period of time (6 months-1 year), we will conduct our Organization Health Assessment again to measure improvements in your: company’s and team’s performance, individual relationships and individual development & performance.

Step 4:

After seeing measurable improvement to the company, team and individual, we work with you to develop ongoing team and individual programs for continued growth and improvement.

We Work With You

6 Key Areas of Our Program

Our Program is energized by proven business practices of outstanding corporate leaders and leading business researchers, and infused with perennial insights from the world’s wisdom traditions.  We will work with you to develop a bespoke program to meet you and your team’s needs.

Keynotes

Catherine shows leaders how to use their heads, hearts, and hands to awaken a new and better way of working together. While the recommendations are counter-intuitive, the results are both practical and deeply impactful. Audiences will leave with the ability to act on three important aspects of their experience and maximize their potential. The result will be industry-leading productivity, innovation, collaboration, communication, and job satisfaction. Customized to clients’ needs, Catherine’s presentations are high impact, content rich conference experiences and keynote speeches.

3-Day Playshops

Our Playshops are deeply impactful, real, and joyous, leaving individuals, relationships, and teams with key actionable takeaways.

Our three-day Playshops focus on the following key attributes of an Awakened Company:

  1. Leadership Awakening – self-awareness and self-development.
  2. Awakening Relationships – improving one:one relationships within organizations. Individual Relationship Plans will be created with actionable behaviours that can be tracked over time.
  3. Awakening Team and Organizations – assessing level of health in the organization and creating team development plan with actionable behaviours that can be tracked over time.

Personal & Leadership Development Using the Enneagram

Are you interested in being the best you can be? In leadership development? In personal development? The Enneagram is one of the most powerful development tools of personal and leadership transformation. The Enneagram is a tool that helps awaken us to what is real, to our gifts and work ons. It helps us to become more present and react less from our default. Catherine has over 20 years of experience using the Enneagram with profoundly successful results. She is trained and certified in using and teaching the Enneagram. We offer courses and consulting on the Enneagram.

Year-Long Programs

Comprehensive, intensive playshops and coaching support to transform leadership, culture and organizations. In this program, we use these tools from the Awakened Company System to help you build better leaders, teams and organizations:

  • Awakened Assessment Tool – to determine the overall health of your organization. Assessments will be done at the beginning, middle and end of the program to track and benchmark improvement
  • Strategy (with soul) Session
  • Keynote presentation
  • Playshops – these will be conducted at the beginning of the program and at intervals throughout the year depending upon your needs
  • Coaching – one:one and team coaching in support of your personal, relationship and organizational awakening
  • Team Development Plans
  • Individual Relationships Plans
  • Personal Development Plans

Our Awakened Company System has resulted in higher employee engagement, strong corporate culture, more aware leaders and teams, and improved and sustained results.
