Catalyst explains why extraordinary career growth requires the right stimuli at the right time to propel us to the next level, and shows us how to cultivate these moments.

In scientific terms, a catalyst is anything that boosts the speed of a chemical reaction.

Enzymes in our stomach, for example, help our body digest food. Without those enzymes, digestion would be a much harder and longer process.

Catalysts are important to many aspects of our daily lives, but the principles behind them aren't exclusive to science.

We all know that to have a great career, we need a few key ingredients.
