Katie Anderson shares her goal of serving as a catalyst for learning and making a meaningful impact through her work, driven by her innate passion for sharing knowledge with others.
A catalyst for people to lead the change
Nick: You seem to wear many hats. So when people ask you, what do you do? What do you say?
Katie: That's a great question. I sometimes get stuck in sort of the technical side of what I do. But really the the core of what I am is I like to consider myself a catalyst for learning and impact and really using the, actually bolding on the word Kata from Japanese meaning routine and practice.
But how are we not just catalysts for change, but catalysts practicing the behaviors and routines that build learning as the source of progress and change in organizations or for ourselves. So this builds on the energy side to how am I helping to be a change catalyst for people to lead the change that they want in their lives personally and professionally.
Nick: You really seem to convey that, you have all this energy, you love sharing. It's almost like you do it with this incredible love, love for it, and love for sharing. So it's quite inspiring.
Katie: It's genuine. I don't know where it comes from. I just have this, like, it's been a core part of who I am when I look back from the very beginning. I think that's how we really end up finding our life's calling and purpose as well.
