A new study says for every woman stepping into a director-level leadership role at work, two are choosing to leave. Forty-three percent of women leaders reported feeling burned out, compared to 31 percent of men, according to Lean In and McKinsey data. Women leaders are leaving their organizations at the highest rate ever. What the hell is going on? Well, don’t ask two white guys, ‘cause they’re clueless. And that’s why we brought Tracy Lovejoy and Shannon Lucas, cofounders of Catalyst Constellations and co-authors of Move Fast, Break Shit. Burn Out onto the show to dive in and find some answers. Uncovered was a lot of intriguing data, and insightful commentary … and we all got in touch with our feminine sides. Grab the Kleenex box and enjoy.

"catalysts must be intentional, clear &amp; bold and accept that they can't help everyone all the time.."Tracey, Shannon and I delve into the world of innovators and change-makers who can't help but take in information, create a vision, connect the dots and make change for the better - even if no-one has asked them to ! How do we create systemic change and thriving as a catalyst ? How do we create visibility and understanding of what catalysts need to fulfil their quest to innovate, get stuff done and take others with them.. ? How do we equip catalysts with operational tools and approaches to translate their visions into operations and find other catalysts to create momentum ?We discuss the challenges facing catalysts as they strive to effect sustainable change :managing their speed and energy, recognising and naming their emotions, creating curiosity and the erosion of catalyst leadership trust. Tracey and Shannon share their journey, thoughts, research and experience from being catalysts and from working with catalysts around the globe. The main insights you'll get from this episode are : Book inspired by a lack of information about and representation of the people behind innovation: fire-starters, troublemakers, disruptors and catalysts - who very often feel broken and alone. It aims to define and formalise the catalyst role, particularly post-covid. Catalysts are defined by their attributes of constantly synthesising information, recognising opportunities to improve the world around them, and forming visions, moving into action and having a design thinking mindset for iteration.They thrive in community with other catalysts and organisations must connect with and train their catalysts by providing psychological safety for them to speak up, inviting conversation and making them feel valued.Catalysts see things very clearly but may not have brought others along with them. It is difficult for them to slow down before ‘breadcrumbing’ the way for others to understand and acknowledge what they do or have achieved.Catalysts should keep spreadsheets of the data they have collected, the conversations they have had, etc.; practice mindful self-compassion and claim their power to bring compassion to and empathise with others.Cognitive is explicit but emotional is not. Catalysts must recognise that the change they want to bring about requires them to have a full tank and be self-regulated in order to do the hard work. Success means having this full tank, then making smart choices, like taking a break.Catalysts must be intentional, clear and accept that they can’t help everyone all the time. They must help themselves and prioritise for themselves to produce a ripple effect to achieve more and/or differently, rather than draining their own energy.3 (intuitive) superpowers of catalysts (that are often invisible to people):						1.    The ability to take in information – they must take a step back and reformulate to allow others to catch up; to understand the disconnect						2.    The ability to go outside the structure, build relationships, demonstrate empathy – people are needed to shift mindsets, ideas and behaviours						3.    The ability to get shit done and make possibilities a reality – they are not visionaries, who only see the picture, they operationalise the visionThe catalyst’s toolbox:prioritisation list: leaders must have clear objectives for the team and themselves; a ‘not-right-now’ list; and a list for self-care and rejuvenation to model for othersregular reflection: act as orchestra conductor to guide others from vision to execution; an orchestration calendar with thoughtful and realistic inputnetwork map: create influence by seeking out those with power, those who make decisions, those sitting on the fence; build a human system that is intentionally designedOvercommunication: to allow others to keep up; repeat their message, which lands differently every time and can then percolate with others ‘breadcrumbing’: creating space for change and spaciousness for themselves and others, which is very difficult in fast-paced, delivery-driven timesThe biggest challenges facing catalysts are burnout, the pandemic and the erosion of catalyst leadership trust. COVID has taken away cross-silo trust building and communication, which deprives catalysts of their superpower to leverage ‘water cooler’ moments to get shit done.Suggested antidotes to ‘too-muchness’; catalyst empowerment summit; self-compassion; and regenerative mindful practices.

#47 Move fast, Break shit, Burn out with Tracey Lovejoy and Shannon Lucas

Today I have the pleasure of interviewing the power duo of Shannon Lucas and Tracey Lovejoy, co-founders of Catalyst Constellations. These two are true forces of nature. Catalysts are the kind of people who have a vision and also have the energy, skill, and persistence to bring that vision to life - often at a pace that can leave other people spinning if they’re not careful.  Catalyst Constellations is about helping people like this. People who identify as change-makers and activators. People who are committed to making a massive difference in the wicked civilizational, social, global problems we're facing.Because if you’re a catalyst and you're not careful, you can easily burn out. In their book, Move Fast. Break Shit. Burn Out, they remind us that staying connected to the things that anchor you and drive you are critical both to your livelihood and to whatever mission you're taking a stand for. And they envision a world where a web of catalytic change-makers stretches out across the globe, supporting, nourishing, and championing each other as they work to imagine and create a more beautiful world.As you read Move Fast. Break Shit. Burn Out. and as you listen to this conversation, you may discover that there's this identity you hold as a catalyst that you've never had a word for before. The good news is that there’s a community of catalysts just like you. Shannon and Tracey have been calling them in through their work.

How Catalysts can Drive Innovation in your Company – Shannon Lucas

Innovators. Changemakers. Entrepreneurs. Intrapreneurs. Catalysts. One of these things is not like the other. That is to say, each of these types of people can make a whole lot of change happen in the world, but within any group of innovators, changemakers, entrepreneurs, and intrapreneurs, are those people called Catalysts, Those of us who have a deep-rooted need to create positive change. Among Catalysts, there is an unmet need to be seen and valued for who we are and how we show up in the world. We move so fast that we lose people. We can break shit without intentionality. And all of that can lead to burnout—frequently. Catalysts feel a deep sense of drive toward a better future state. We can’t help but see potential change and set it in motion, wherever we are. We’re energized and we’re driven by it. We welcome the author of Move Fast. Break Stuff. Burn Out.: The Catalyst’s Guide to Working Well, Shannon Lucas, welcome to the show.
