About Catalyse Coaching's founder

Lisa Higgins is an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC). She is also Post Grad qualified (PGCE), a Psychology BSc graduate, a qualified Management Accountant and experienced business professional with a 30-year proven track record of successful business change delivery.  

 

Grounded in 12 years studying Psychology (she holds a First in that, too), Lisa has identified the crucial differentiator for people, teams and projects to be successful.  It’s people science.  Something she’s passionate about.  So much so, her work is now focused in this field. 

 

Lisa offers businesses and individuals a unique blend of insightful thinking, business experience and psychological knowledge through her company, Catalyse Coaching.

 

The company’s people science philosophy puts client strengths, thought-processes and behaviours centre stage, to enable progress and change. This shows in Catalyse Coaching's testimonials, which highlight that the climate is insightful, facilitative and supportively challenging.

 

Individual and team coaching, workshops, mentoring and well-researched articles are just some of the company’s products and services. 

 

Lisa offers this herself and draws from an experienced group of Associates who work with her on engagements, as needed.  All share her ethos, are qualified coaches, have training skills and established careers in public and private sectors.
