CATALYST COMMUNITY
Find your people. Start your ripple.
Catalyst is not an events calendar.
It is not location-dependent.
It is not a relaunch of something that came before.
It is a community — online, intentional, and built around one belief: better conversations create better outcomes.
For men and women, wherever they are, who sense that more is possible — and who are ready to find the people who feel the same.
The opportunity isn't missing. The conversation just hasn't happened yet.
The Belief behind Catalyst
A catalyst creates change — quietly, consistently, and with intention.
Not through noise. Not through hustle. Through the moment when two people find each other and something shifts — an idea unsticks, a door opens, a perspective changes everything.
Most of us have felt it. The conversation that stayed with us long after the room emptied. The person we almost didn't meet. The question that opened something we didn't know was closed.
Catalyst is built to make those moments less accidental.
Who is this for?
You walk into a room wondering what you can contribute — not what you can collect.
You might call yourself a changemaker, a problem solver, or a community builder. Or you might not use any of those words — and still recognise yourself in every one of them.
You're in the right place if:
— You value thoughtful conversation over transactional exchange
— You sense more opportunity around you than you're currently accessing
— You want connection with people who care about ideas and impact
— You are ready to show up, contribute, and be part of something that goes somewhere
— You believe that what you offer can create a ripple far beyond the room
If you read that and felt something shift — that's your answer.
What Catalyst is — and what it isn’t
No elevator pitches. No rooms to leave unchanged. No feed to scroll.
Catalyst is an online community with real-world connection woven through it. Open to men and women — across Australia and beyond. Curated by conversation, not credit card.
This is networking the way it should always have been.
What you will find inside
A curated community where conversations happen with intention — not a feed to scroll, but a community to genuinely belong to.
A member listing so the right people can find you and know what you stand for.
A growing library of resources, podcast episodes and recordings- curated because conversation sits at the heart of every one.
Community conversations - ask the question. Share the insight. , contribute your perspective.
Opportunities to access dinners and conversation count sessions - designed for the kind of connection that actually goes somewhere.
Community Values
These aren't rules. They're how we choose to be here.
Thoughtful conversation — present, purposeful, respectful
Curiosity — open to ideas, and perspectives
Generosity — sharing what we know in ways that lift others
Trust — honouring confidentiality, creating safety through integrity
Contribution — believing that what we offer can ripple far beyond the room.
The Catalyst journey
Catalyst is designed to grow with you — and with the community itself.
Catalyst Open — where it begins
Step into the community. Connect, explore and experience what becomes possible when the right people find each other. One payment, or a payment plan by arrangement — either way, a commitment through to 31 December 2026.
Catalyst Connect — where it deepens
Coming as community grows
A closer circle. Deeper relationships, richer conversations, greater connection with purpose.
Catalyst Impact — where it goes further still
Coming as community grows
A personalised 1:1 mentoring relationship with Kerryn, alongside deep community connection.
Each tier opens by conversation. Because who is in the room matters — and that starts before you arrive.
A note from Kerryn
Some of you knew Your Time Matters.
This is not that.
YTM was something I'm enormously proud of — a community that brought people together in Melbourne for more than a decade, in rooms that changed things for the people in them.
Catalyst is what I've been thinking about ever since. Online. National. For men and women - not defined by geography or how often you can show up to an event.
Built from everything I have learned. And from something I came to understand about myself:
I needed it too.
I've spent years creating connection and belonging for others. And I've come to understand, sometimes the hard way, how much I need it myself. That's not a footnote to this work. It's the reason for it.
If something on this page has resonated — if you recognised yourself somewhere in these words — I'd love to hear from you. Not as a pitch. Not as a sign-up. Just as the beginning of a conversation.

Start the Conversation
This is not an application. There is no right or wrong answer.
It is simply the beginning of a conversation.
