Igniting Passion, Purpose & Playfulness in Organizations Worldwide
What if the secret to extraordinary business results isn’t found in your financial metrics, but in awakening the humanity within your organization?

As the Founder of a Profit 200 company and best-selling author of The Awakened Company, Catherine brings a unique blend of proven business acumen, spiritual wisdom, and infectious playfulness to every stage she graces.

Perfect for: Organizational Development Conferences, Executive Retreats, Leadership Teams, C-Suite Executives, and Culture-builders committed to sustainable organizational transformation.
Most organizations chase performance metrics, efficiency gains, and competitive advantage. But what if the real competitive edge lies not in doing more, but in awakening to a fundamentally different way of being? What if thriving organizational culture isn’t built on best practices borrowed from others, but on discovering and activating the unique alchemical potential within your own company?
In this foundational keynote, Catherine Bell reveals the essential architecture of companies that don’t just succeed—they flourish. Drawing from years of working with organizations across sectors, Catherine unveils…
the three core pillars that distinguish awakened companies from those trapped in cycles of dysfunction, burnout, and diminishing returns
This isn’t another framework to layer onto your existing systems. It’s a diagnostic lens that helps you see what’s actually happening beneath the surface—where energy flows, where it stagnates, and how to catalyze the transformation your organization is ready for.
Catherine introduces The Bad Ripple Trap™—the invisible pattern that destroys organizational health from within—and shows you exactly how to interrupt it. You’ll discover the Alchemical Formula that turns ordinary organizational dynamics into extraordinary results, and learn how the three pillars of Energizing, Sustaining, and Regenerating create the conditions for lasting cultural vitality.
This is for leaders ready to move beyond superficial culture initiatives and build something truly sustainable: a company that awakens to its highest potential while honoring the humanity of everyone within it.

Perfect for: Leadership Teams, Organizational Development Professionals, HR Leaders, Enneagram Practitioners, Culture-builders, and anyone responsible for transforming workplace dynamics.
Most organizations use the Enneagram for individual development—helping people understand themselves and work better together. But what if the Enneagram could reveal the hidden patterns driving your entire organization? What if it could show you exactly where your culture gets stuck, where innovation stalls, and where your greatest potential lies waiting to be unlocked?
In this transformative keynote, Catherine Bell invites you into a fresh, systemic view of the Enneagram—not simply as a personal development tool,….
but as a dynamic organizational roadmap. Drawing from years of research, lived leadership experience, and creative inquiry, Catherine shows how the nine points illuminate essential organizational capacities—from visioning to execution, from resilience to relational intelligence.
This isn’t theory. It’s a practical diagnostic, a leadership compass, and a source of creative renewal for organizations striving to be both effective and humane. When you understand the terrain, transformation becomes possible.

The Strategy with Soul Document—a tool for conscious, intentional organizational development
Perfect for: Innovation Teams, Creative Directors, Leaders facing complex change, Strategic Planners, HR Leaders and organizations seeking to build cultures of sustainable creativity.
In a world obsessed with productivity and output, we’ve forgotten something essential: creativity isn’t a commodity to be manufactured—it’s a moment to be awakened. And every Enneagram type has a unique pathway to accessing that moment.
Based on her forthcoming book The Creative Moment: Creativity and the Enneagram (2026), Catherine Bell reveals how each of the nine Enneagram types experiences, blocks, and ultimately unleashes…
creative potential. This isn’t about artistic talent—it’s about the innovation, problem-solving, and fresh thinking every organization desperately needs.
Catherine guides audiences through the creative patterns of each type, showing leaders how to recognize when their teams are in their “creative moment” versus when they’re caught in habitual patterns that stifle innovation. She offers practical strategies for creating conditions where creativity can flourish across diverse teams, and provides tools for leaders to access their own creative wisdom when facing complex challenges.
Key Takeaways:
Perfect for: Executive Leadership Teams, Organizational Change Agents, HR/Culture and Engagement Leaders, Conscious Business Communities, and Leaders committed to creating workplaces that truly serve life.
Most organizational cultures operate on autopilot—running on unexamined assumptions, reactive patterns, and leadership habits that worked in the past but no longer serve the future. The result? Burnout, disengagement, and cultures that drain rather than energize the people within them.
Drawing from her groundbreaking book The Awakened Company, Catherine Bell shows leaders how to wake up from unconscious organizational patterns and…
intentionally design cultures where people, purpose, and performance align. This isn’t about adding more wellness programs or values posters—it’s about fundamentally shifting how we understand organizational health and what it means to lead with consciousness.
Catherine introduces the concept of “awakened leadership”—a way of leading that integrates self-awareness, systems thinking, and strategic intention. She reveals the hidden energetic patterns that either trap organizations in what she calls “bad ripples” or elevate them into “awakened ripples” of positive impact. Audiences leave with both the inner compass and the outer tools to transform their organizations from the inside out.
