We'll make the connection, you make the impact.

The Coaching Corner is a bi-annual, 3-month program that pairs experienced post-sales leaders with operators for 1:1 mentorship. Matches are made based on factors like job function, experience, company size, mentorship goals, and more.

We started the Coaching Corner to help push the Customer Success industry forward through community and shared learnings. Since launch, we've created hundreds of mentorship pairings with professionals from companies big and small like Slack, LinkedIn, Braze, Unity, Attentive, and more. These connections have helped countless people grow in their careers through meaningful mentorship.

To keep the industry moving forward, we've opened up the Coaching Corner to all post-sales functions: Customer Success, Account Management, CS Ops, Renewals, Implementation, and Onboarding.

At Catalyst, we've always believed in putting your customers at the center of every decision. That means every team, not just CS, has to get involved. And this is our next step in doing that and pushing Customer-Led Growth forward.

Help us move the industry forward. Join the waitlist to be the first to know when applications open again.
