Client Testimonials
Clients are the cornerstone of Catylyst's business. Here is what some are saying.
​Kevin Ford, CEO, Calian
As CEO of a publicly traded company with current plans to achieve $1B in revenues by 2026, executive alignment on company purpose, strategy and tactics are critical. I have engaged Jeff and Catylyst many times over the past few years to assist in achieving executive alignment on key topics through executive retreats, executive coaching and follow on meetings. Working with Jeff has been critical in helping address key challenges and opportunities, as he is proactively engaged in helping us achieve tangible outcomes. We have also engaged him on individual coaching for a number of our executive and management teams.
​
Jeff's unique style and delivery stands out because of his pragmatic and tailored approach to each scenario – he spends the time to do proper research and is prepared to ensure value is created from our investment. He doesn’t rely on pre-determined solutions; instead he digs in, listens, and partners to create impact. The results of these efforts have ensured we are achieving higher ROI on time spent together, alignment on key challenges facing the company and tangible action plans, making this partnership invaluable.

Mark MacAulay, President & CEO, Salus Ottawa
In 2022, our organization set a goal to double its capacity by 2030. An integral part of this strategy was a multiyear investment in leadership development. Jeff's approach to executive coaching and leadership development is unique; he took the time to listen to the leadership team, understand the gaps, and develop a multiyear coaching/leadership development program at Salus.
I have worked with a variety of executive coaches over the years. Jeff is at the next level—he takes the time to understand an organization's culture. Furthermore, he seeks and brings value to every conversation—not just in words but in actions—and does not shy away from constructively challenging a leader. Finally, Jeff takes the time to identify and measure key performance indicators to demonstrate the impact of coaching on the individual, team, and organization, making his partnership an essential part of our success.
