CATAPULT is a six-month mentoring program designed with insight, support, discussion, strategy, and tools with full attention on you and the life that surrounds your work.
It happens in the cracks of your life. Low in time and high in impact. And it is uniquely designed for you.
'How much change has happened that I've already normalised — I've almost forgotten it was a change, because it's just so much easier to live like this now.'
CATAPULT Alumni
Are high achievers but measure themselves against everyone else
Are ambitious but not clear about next steps, or, are clear about them and not moving
Don't feel they can fit one more thing in, and yet know something needs to change
Have conflicting time, financial, or caring responsibilities
Secretly feel a decline in energy, focus, or passion they haven't told anyone about
Want to talk deeply and deliberately with someone who genuinely gets it (and offers solutions that support increasing capacity)
'I began CATAPULT hoping to gain clarity around how to engineer the next steps of my career — but what I have gained is much more valuable... I am more connected to who I am, what drives me, and where my practice is leading. I now know why I do what I do and feel empowered to own my unique contribution. I can't wait to see what happens next.'
Dr Rachel Howley, Conductor and Educator
CATAPULT runs in cohorts. The next cohort is October 2026.
1: Join the waitlist
You'll receive first access to information and an early invitation to apply when applications open.
2: Applications open August 2026
You'll be invited to submit a short application.
3: A conversation with Katy
Before any place is confirmed, we have a fit conversation — to make sure CATAPULT is right for you, and you're right for CATAPULT.
Places are limited. Katy works deeply at this level with a small number of people at any one time.
'I honestly can't recommend this program more. I felt so held and supported by Katy through some huge life moments. It's more than a development program — this has changed my life in so many ways.'
