Catalyst: Planning session exclusively for CFOs
Elevate your value and lead your Organisation's Growth in FY25
Does your CEO need you to be the Catalyst of High Performance in your organisation in FY25?
I'm holding a planning session exclusively for CFOs on June 27th 2024.

Are you:

Wondering where FY24 went?

A little burnt out?

Keen to get back in the driver's seat and get your head out of the weeds, having spent most of the year deal with the challenging economy, ongoing talent issues and taking care of the business?

Focused on helping your team reset and reestablish effective ways of working so they are set up for success in FY25?

Create a plan to get the results you need in the way you want. Set yourself up to be the go-to for your CEO and Board and the Catalyst for your business' success in FY25.
Get clarity about your goals in FY25. Feel more confident and certain that you have the capacity to lead your team and organisation through the bumps along the way.
What participants are saying about the 'Catalyst Planning Workshop'

Judith, CFO

"Apart from investing in yourself, it is meeting similar CFOs who experience the same challenges but with different contexts; and also walking away with a tool that we can keep coming back to to keep us accountable."
"I found the aspect about simplification really helped me. I realized there was quite a lot of detail and sometimes you are struggling to find it and so when I was reading, I realized actually this inspires me just reading it but it was lost in all the notes so I've simplified it, a perfect system."
Yas, CFO
Natasha, CFO
"It's been nice to take 4 hours for myself to realign, reenergise and I do feel inspired after this. I feel like Iwas drifting and now I feel like I had more structure. The way forward looks promising; exciting."
"I was able to space and plan out the things that I want to achieve, and now it feels much more achievable."
Annette, CFO
Brad, CFO
"You asked questions that helped provide clarity in terms of the longer term view which enabled myself certainly to work backwards and just get clarity and priority."
"Thank you, Alena. The methodology that you have implemented is mind-blowing. We should all have a methodology to achieve whatever goals we aspire to achieve."

✅   your CEO is demanding more from you OR you need to improve the level of trust within your relationship with your CEO

✅   all your current attention is on getting through to Christmas and have no time to turn to what FY25 could look like for you. You know you need to do it, but there isn't a feasible to way to carve out the time. By the time you can lift your head up for air, it will be late February and you've lost almost 2 months.

✅   you haven't set aside any time to focus on you: your goals, you development and opportunities. But you know the expectations will go up. You've been focussed solely on setting your team up and managing the expectations from above.
