How my journey began

Welcome to Catalyst Leadership Insights, where leadership potential is unlocked, teams thrive, and organizational culture is transformed. I’m Michael Smith-Porter, an Executive Leadership Coach and Leadership Consultant with a passion for empowering leaders and organizations to achieve their fullest potential.

With extensive experience in executive coaching, I specialize in working with leaders within higher education, non-profits, and government sectors. My unique approach blends positive psychology with practical strategies, focusing on leadership development, team dynamics, change management, and employee engagement. I believe that strong leadership is the cornerstone of organizational success, and my mission is to inspire this through every coaching session, workshop, and organizational engagement.

My journey into executive coaching began with a deep commitment to professional development and a desire to create positive organizational cultures. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of guiding senior leaders, middle managers, and emerging leaders in their pursuit of effective leadership, improved team dynamics, and successful change initiatives.

At Catalyst Leadership Insights, our service offerings are tailored to meet diverse needs, from comprehensive leadership development packages to team performance enhancement and change management success packages.

I am passionate about creating lasting impacts through leadership retreats, keynote speaking engagements, and organizational development consulting. With every engagement, my vision remains clear: to transform leadership and organizational culture, making workplaces more engaged, productive, and fulfilled.

Thank you for visiting. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and help unlock your leadership potential. Together, we can create a positive, thriving organizational culture.
