OLA16 MEMBER RESOURCE GUIDE: INTRODUCTION
YOU'RE A CATALYST
The Catalyst is a person who activates the natural gifts and talents of others. When you activate your own natural gifts and talents in service to something greater than yourself, the people around you will automatically be forced into a dilemma; they must either accept your transformation or reject it. in either case, as you change your position, others will have to respond. If, for example, you stop eating meat, when friends and family invite you over for dinner, they will have to decide on something to offer you. Sometimes, it requires a small shift. Other times, your transformation will create a complete paradigm shift for the people in your environment. The Orisa Lifestyle Activities (OLA) are intended to facilitate smooth collective adjustment.
Please keep in mind that what follows is meant to give you a basic understanding of what it takes to be an effective Catalyst. The rest will come with experience and time. The Lead Catalyst is responsible for organizing and guiding the activities of the Circle. This is a chance to develop leadership skills by recruiting and training a team, taking the lead in developing a schedule for the OLA16 calendar, and reporting on successes and challenges. The Catalyst’s role can be represented by the following four words:
Facilitate - Educate – Motivate - Innovate
