Latesha Byrd, The Catalyst

Founder, Speaker, Strategist, Executive Coach

I specialize in advising companies how to implement cultural strategies that foster the growth and retention of high-performing talent. This includes taking a look at systems and policies, as well as leadership development, to see how it all can better support workplace wellness and boost productivity throughout the company..

I empower employees with the knowledge and skills they need to construct careers that are worthy of their brilliance, impact, and skillset.

The current corporate landscape looks like:

  • Employee burnout

  • Communication and collaboration disruptions

  • Corporate marginalization and isolation

  • High turnover rates

My mission is to heal the current workplace crisis by supporting both employees and leadership in cultivating healthy environments that ensure all are valued.

Wellness + Workplace.
