Frequently asked questions
What does Catapult specialize in?
Catapult lists executive coaching, leadership development, organizational development, executive search, compensation consulting and assessments. The questions below explain these areas in plain terms — every listed area comes from the provider’s own site or profile.
What is executive coaching?
Executive coaching is a one-on-one development partnership that helps a leader sharpen decision-making, communication, and presence. The coach works with the executive on specific goals — leading teams, navigating change, or stepping into a larger role — through structured conversations and feedback.
What does an executive coach do?
An executive coach helps a leader see blind spots, set measurable goals, and build the skills and habits to reach them. Engagements usually run over several months and focus on the real situations the leader faces at work.
What is leadership development?
Leadership development builds the skills of managers and leaders across a company — through coaching, training programs, assessments, and structured feedback. Where executive coaching is usually one leader working one-on-one, leadership development often spans a whole team or leadership tier. Its real test is behavior change on the job, not workshop attendance.
What does an operations consultant do?
An operations consultant focuses on how the work gets done — processes, systems, and execution. Where a strategy consultant asks what the business should do next, operations work makes the current engine run better: throughput, quality, cost, and the handoffs in between.
What does an HR or people & culture consultant do?
An HR consultant advises on hiring, retention, org design, compliance, and the systems that help a team perform — expertise growing companies rarely have in-house. Succession planning is the forward-looking piece: who is ready for the key roles before the vacancy happens, ownership transitions included.
What is the difference between coaching and consulting?
A consultant diagnoses a problem and recommends — often implements — a solution; a coach develops you and your team to make better decisions and execute consistently. Consulting buys expertise; coaching builds capability. Many providers offer both, so check which mode an engagement actually is before you compare prices.Coaching vs consulting vs mentoring →
How do coaches use assessments?
Instruments like DISC, Myers-Briggs, CliftonStrengths, and 360° feedback open a structured development conversation — each measures something different, and none is a verdict. The useful test of assessment work is what happens after the debrief: a development plan with something observable at the end.
What is compensation consulting?
Advice on how to pay people—salary structures, bonuses, and incentives. It helps businesses pay competitively enough to attract talent without overspending or creating internal unfairness.
What is talent assessment?
Using structured tools and interviews to measure the skills, strengths, and potential of candidates or employees, informing hiring, promotion, and development decisions.
Who does Catapult work with?
They describe working with Organizations Committed To The Growth And Development Of Their Leaders And Teams.
How do I choose an executive or leadership coach?
Look for relevant experience with leaders at your level, a clear process, and references you can check. Most coaches offer an introductory conversation so you can gauge fit before committing.
