I am Eleanor Allen - a proven CEO turned business consultant and coach. I founded Catapult For Change to save you time by offering you surefire success due to my deep experience in business transformations, turnarounds, and growth strategies. Ill guide you to excel in the C-Suite, fostering a personal leadership exploration that uplifts both you and your organization. The inception of Catapult For Change stemmed from my passion to empower executives in unlocking their full potential. I firmly believe in the inherent greatness within each individual; however, obstacles occasionally hinder our progress. Our mission is to guide individuals and teams in overcoming these hurdles through a comprehensive approach to problem-solving and personal growth. This extends to our dedicated support for CEOs and C-Suite leaders, fostering the development of skills and talents that enable them to excel in their roles with both grace and joy. My personal purpose is to enhance the quality of life for both people and the planet, and Catapult For Change serves as my conduit to do this. Operating as a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC), Catapult For Change distinguishes itself by not only functioning similarly to an S Corp or an LLC but also by incorporating a public benefit element. Based in Colorado, Catapult For Change aligns with the PBC criteria by contributing to the philanthropic endeavors of Water For People - an organization I formerly led. Water For People operates globally across nine countries in Latin America, Asia, and Africa, addressing the urgent global water crisis and empowering communities with sustainable access to clean water and sanitation services, with the commitment of Everyone, Forever. Catapult For Change pledges annual donations to support Water For Peoples mission. As a PBC, our commitment to this cause is transparently showcased in our mandatory annual impact report, a requirement for all PBCs filed in the State of Colorado.
