I was a departmental manager on a team with a variety of challenges and we needed help. First of all, we needed a patient and curious analysis of our situation. The next step involved the development of a plan that was measureable and practical. Finally, we needed to accomplish all of this while continuing to push for goals that seemed at times way out of reach.
Tom, Melissa and their team are resourceful resilient and focused on the end goal. Their approach was appropriate based on the situation – cautious when necessary and fearless the rest of the time. Their eyes and ears found the clues that led them to the solutions we could not or would not find. The discussions revealed undiscovered conflicts between teams and priorities and ultimately led to improvements in processes and measurement standards. The communication that started when they initiated their work set a new standard that really changed the culture of our entire organization.
Catch Your Limit is about coloring outside of the lines and making the picture much better in the process. From our experience, their delivery exceeded our expectations in every category that we measured. I would bring them to the table again without a moment’s hesitation.

Catch Your Limit Consulting is not your typical firm. The company's philosophy and approach to working with organizations provides a hands on yet objective process that benefits any size association. Our association management company has worked with Catch Your Limit for several years in developing an internal leadership/management team culture and standards.
The principles that Catch Your Limit utilizes, to achieve an outcome, benefit not only to the senior leadership of an organization, but also provide direct value to all levels of a team. Our company would not be where it is today without the presence of Catch Your Limit in our world. The intangibles of working with Catch Your Limit almost equal or outweigh the tangible takeaways. I unequivocally recommend any organization that is looking to move to the next level, to take a few minutes and see how Catch Your Limit can be part of your journey.

Innovative. Fun. Challenging.
These are just a few of the words my team used to describe their 18-month learning experience with Catch Your Limit. As a team that had taken on new projects and new staff in a whirlwind of membership outreach, we needed Catch Your Limit’s assistance in learning how to communicate inside and outside our department; to take ownership of our new projects; to build smaller teams that were project-specific and to embrace the changes around us proactively instead of reactively. Supervisors and the department director received individual counseling and the entire team had monthly meetings and half-day retreats throughout the 18-months, all of which resulted in improvements to every aspect of the department’s work. We are a very thankful recipient of the ><((“> magic!

Melissa and Tom were fun and effective in leading our Annual Leadership Strategic Planning Workshop. We wanted something different and they did not disappoint. Our new strategic goals are challenging, forward-thinking, and certain to strengthen the programs and member benefits of the Alabama Society of CPAS.

Catch Your Limit expertly designed a strategic planning process for the Board of an organization that had never trusted the process nor had any experience in follow through and implementation. As one director told me, Catch Your Limit was the only consultant in memory that had been trusted enough to be asked to continue to guide the Board. The outcome has been transformational. The entire Board not only believes in the process but is truly excited about the potential of what the strategic plan has shown them of the association’s future. Catch Your Limit’s talent is amazing and I will be forever grateful for their guidance, expertise and impact.
Facilitation
"This time, like all times, is a very good one if we but know what to do with it."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Money Matters. Performance Counts. Time is the Enemy.
These words are especially true when you've invested the resources (especially time) into pulling a group of smart people together to think on behalf of your organization. Whether you are having a meeting with specific objectives, a work session, a brainstorming session, a team/board retreat, a strategic planning session or you've hit a roadblock that's impacting your success, there are times when a facilitator is essential to accomplishing your goals and getting a return on your investment.
We know one size does not fit all. Every meeting facilitated by Catch Your Limit is a custom engagement; specifically tailored to not only your goals, but also to your organization's style and culture.
Catch Your Limit has a team of experienced facilitators. Our facilitators are skilled at creating fun, high energy environments, focusing diverse people on agreed upon objectives, encouraging lively discussion in an orderly, efficient manner and challenging the group to think strategically and creatively. We work with groups to establish clarity around action plans and next steps.
Each of our facilitators brings different strengths to the table, so we work hard to match our clients with the facilitator(s) that will be the best fit for your culture and your desired outcomes.
And, we're always focused on making sure that your group has a boatload of take-a-ways & new skills to help you "catch your limit" not only at the session we facilitate, but for each and every time the group works together.

The Catch Your Limit team has been an asset to our organization. Over the last few years, we’ve hired them to facilitate strategic thinking sessions for our board and team building sessions for our staff.
