Catalyzing Change exists to create spaces where people and organizations thrive.
We partner with leaders, teams, and systems to transform from the inside out, unlocking capacity and driving lasting impact, because when people thrive, organizations do too.
Christina L. Scott
Christina founded Catalyzing Change after watching too many organizations struggle to close the gap between their stated values and their daily realities. She believes that transformation rarely requires starting over. More often, it requires the right conditions: honest conversation, skilled facilitation, and a partner willing to stay in the complexity with you.
Her career spans education, federal and local government, private, and the nonprofit sector, beginning as a Teach For America corps member and continuing into more than fifteen years of coaching and collaborating with executive leaders, senior teams, and organizations across multiple sectors.
Christina holds an MS in Organization Development from American University, an MA in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Maryland, and a BA in English and Business Administration from Fordham University. She holds the ACC credential from the International Coaching Federation and an Executive Certificate in Leadership Coaching from Georgetown University, and is a certified Project Management Professional (PMP). She serves on the boards of The Ruby Ball Foundation, where she co-hosts the SILENT Podcast, and SchoolTalk Inc.
She is based in Washington, DC, and most grounded when tending her garden, practicing yoga, or having a conversation that challenges the status quo.
Catalyzing Change is an organizational consulting and leadership coaching practice. We work with leaders, teams, and mission-driven organizations that are ready to close the gap between who they say they are and how they actually operate day to day.
We come in as partners. We listen first, diagnose honestly, and design solutions that fit the organization you actually have.
Our work spans leadership coaching for individuals, organization development and change management for teams and systems, and facilitated learning experiences for groups of all sizes.
Catalyzing Change is a woman-owned, Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) based in Washington, DC.
