The 4-Week Catalyst bridges the gap between training and real-world results, ensuring behaviors stick, driving measurable impact.
HR leaders step into their roles with a vision
Let’s streamline this section: HR leaders step into their roles with a vision: to shape a workplace where people grow and thrive.
But the reality? It’s a constant cycle of reaction—being left out of key decisions and having to justify your value at every turn.
You want to make a real difference, but without the tools, support, or buy-in, change feels just out of reach. It’s exhausting.
It’s frustrating. And you’re not alone. I’ve seen it firsthand that
gap between what HR sets out to do and what
they’re allowed to do.
That’s why I created the 4-Week Catalyst—a proven system that helps HR leaders:
- Break free from the fire drills
- Build trust and influence
- Drive measurable impact where it matters most.
This is more

It’s a blueprint for transforming HR from an overlooked admin function into a driving force for strategic change and measurable results.

We’ve become a more cohesive team, capable of having challenging conversations that are essential to achieving our goals.
“Working with Lenore has been a transformative experience for our organization. As a Director of HR in a nonprofit, I know how important it is to make every training dollar count.

Most leadership development programs focus on concepts– The 4-Week Catalyst is built for
real-world results.
Instead of off-the-shelf workshops that fade after a few weeks, this system provides a structured,
repeatable process that removes barriers to behavior change, equips managers with actionable
leadership skills, and reinforces learning with real-time feedback and accountability.
The 4-Week Catalyst isn’t just training—it’s a system that ensures learning sticks and drives
measurable results.
Organizations that implement The 4-Week Catalyst gain critical insights into behavior change and
the ability to track measurable progress toward leadership and engagement goals.
This system provides real-time feedback on whether new leadership behaviors are taking hold,
where progress is happening, and what barriers still exist—giving organizations the visibility and
data they need to drive meaningful change.
Managers become more confident and equipped to lead, employees feel more supported and
engaged, and HR shifts from reacting to retention challenges to proactively shaping leadership
success.
This system is designed for HR leaders, business partners, and executives who drive leadership development, engagement, and retention. It’s a scalable solution that can be used across all levels of leadership to ensure real behavior change, measurable progress, and long-term impact—far beyond traditional training programs
The 4-Week Catalyst is a system, not just training. It’s designed to bridge the gap between learning and real-world behavior change through reinforcement, accountability, and measurable progress.
Here’s how it works:
- Pre-Launch: Stakeholder Strategy Session – Align key decision-makers on goals, expectations, and leadership support.
- Week 1: Live Skill-Building Training (4 Hours Total) – Focused, practical sessions designed for immediate application.
- Weeks 2-3: On-the-job skill application, reinforced through individualized feedback, coaching and accountability support.
- Week 4: Group Coaching & Application Debrief – Reflect on progress, address barriers, and fine-tune leadership behaviors.
- Comprehensive Impact Insights Debrief – A data-driven review of behavior change, highlighting measurable progress and next steps for sustained success.
This structured, repeatable system ensures that leadership behaviors don’t just get trained—they
get reinforced, measured, and sustained.
The 4-Week Catalyst goes beyond traditional training by providing a tailored action plan rooted in behavior change science, ensuring managers apply, reinforce, and sustain what they’ve learned.
Here’s how it works:
Personalized Action Plans – Each manager identifies specific leadership behaviors to focus on, ensuring targeted growth.
Real-Time Feedback & Coaching – Individualized support helps managers adjust, refine, and strengthen their skills in the flow of work.
Accountability & Reinforcement – Structured check-ins and guided self-reflection keep progress on track.
Peer-to-Peer Coaching – Breaks down barriers by creating a collaborative space for problem-solving, accountability, and shared insights.
Managers don’t just go through training—they experience a guided, real-world transformation that drives lasting change.
You’re not alone—many organizations have invested in leadership training only to see little to no lasting impact. The 4-Week Catalyst is different because it’s not just training—it’s a system designed for execution, reinforcement, and accountability.
Here’s how we ensure real behavior change:
- Built-in reinforcement – Managers don’t just attend training; they get structured follow-up to apply skills in real time.
- Coaching & feedback loops – Continuous support helps managers course-correct and break through barriers.
- Leadership accountability – The system ensures managers stay engaged and committed to developing their skills.
- Measurable progress – HR gains real insights into behavior change, so impact isn’t left to chance.
This isn’t another training program—it’s a structured approach that ensures learning turns into action.
The 4-Week Catalyst sustains and measures progress by tracking behavior change tied to key business goals, rather than relying on surface-level training metrics.
Here’s how we measure success:
- Define critical leadership behaviors – Partner with organizations to identify the actions that drive engagement, retention, and performance.
- Track progress in real time – Measure how leadership behaviors are being applied and where barriers still exist.
- Provide data-driven insights – Deliver actionable reports that help organizations make informed decisions on leadership development efforts.
- Support long-term impact – Ensure organizations can sustain behavior change beyond the program by aligning efforts with business priorities.
Instead of vague training satisfaction scores, organizations gain clear, measurable insights into leadership behavior change and its impact on key priorities.
