The best way to find out is to express interest. From there, you'll be invited to book a discovery call with Christina to talk through your organization’s current priorities and determine whether the Catalyst Compass Network is a good match.

Your organization may be a great fit if:

• You're expanding your team or planning for growth

• You’ve recently developed a new strategy or launched a major initiative

• You’ve welcomed new leadership roles

• Your organization has merged or formed a new partnership

Cohorts are designed to support the person from your team who is responsible for connecting strategy to execution. This role is often held by someone with a title like Chief of Staff, Director of Operations, Managing Director, or another leader who supports internal alignment, cross-functional coordination, team accountability, and communication. At small organizations this could also be the Executive Director. 

Though you designate a direct participant, this is a whole-organization commitment. The work done by the participant reaches your broader team and helps move your internal priorities forward.

The work of the network focuses on the essential and sometimes hidden work of good implementation and integration. It’s not about governance & compliance, board management, finance, or fundraising - all important existential factors. It is about helping your organization translate strategy into action - HOW to ensure that strategic goals are embedded into daily operations, team workflows, and cross-functional processes. 

A focus on:

Implementation. Making sure your strategic plans move into real and sustainable execution. 

Integration. Aligning departments, tools, and workflows so strategy is lived out at every level. 

Work Process Management. Improving how work gets done across the organization not by managing people, but by managing systems and workflows to drive consistent results. 

Your pain point. Your work in this network includes a deeper focus on a challenge of your choosing, transforming your real-world challenge into a catalyst for learning, growth, and improvement.

Each cohort is intentionally kept small—up to eight organizations—to foster deeper relationships and meaningful peer learning. This size allows every participant to fully engage and contribute in a virtual setting, while ensuring a diversity of perspectives and shared focus on internal organizational development.

This isn’t just professional development—it’s organizational development. The Catalyst Compass Network focuses on your team, your strategy, and your internal systems. Over 12 months, your participant will co-create a customized blueprint for your organization and begin implementing it with ongoing support.

Because of the distributed reach of the participant across your organization this program targets and strengthens your whole organization’s ability to operate with clarity, alignment, and efficiency.

This experience is designed to align with the participant’s existing responsibilities. 

This includes:

• Nine virtual cohort work sessions (each 90 minutes) spaced throughout the year

• Approximately 30 minutes prior to each work session for professional reading - case studies or journal articles.

• Twelve monthly hour-long one-on-one coaching sessions with Christina Hall

• Time between sessions for working on your tailored blueprint, with tools and guidance provided along the way

The Network is designed to make organizational development, management consulting, and strategic advising within reach for all organizations.

In tandem with our economizing program design, we are committed to securing partial sponsorships for clients to make the cost within reach. 

After application of the 50% financial sponsorship, the total cost to the nonprofit member is $3,250.

If your designated participant changes roles or exits the organization during the 12-month program, your spot in the cohort stays active. You can assign someone else to take their place, ensuring your organization continues to benefit from the program and stays on track with your blueprint.

Depending on an organization’s complexity constraints, network members may scope their projects broadly or narrowly across the following focus areas:

Leadership and Strategy: strategic & operational alignment, succession planning, merger planning, organizational structure & design, financial sustainability planning, change management.

Talent Management and Development: talent acquisition, performance management & growth, employee retention, learning & development.

Operational and Process Management: process codification & improvement, resource allocation, systems management.

Organizational Culture and Communication - The "soft skills" and internal dynamics that shape the workplace environment: employee engagement, communication & collaboration systems, culture development, conflict resolution.
