Welcome. Your Replays Are Ready.
Everything from the 2026 Catalyst Leadership Summit in one place. Watch in order or start with the session that speaks to you most.
This was a day built around one truth: leadership isn't a soft skill. It's a system that shapes culture and outcomes. Watch, reflect, and take one thing back to your team.
SESSION 1
Welcome to the Work That Matters Jill Stuber & Tia Glave, Co-Founders of Catalyst Food Leaders
Leadership isn't a soft skill — it's a system that shapes culture and outcomes. Jill and Tia set the frame for the day, walk you through how to use the workbook, and challenge you to think differently about the year ahead.
Sponsor Session: Allera
Paddy McNamara: Practical Uses for AI in Food Manufacturing
SESSION 2
You Don't Need Permission. Culture Starts With You. Candice McGlen, Author of Engage Us Now!
Too many leaders are waiting for buy-in, authority, or someone else to go first. Candice challenges that mindset and invites you to reclaim your influence right where you are. Culture doesn't shift through hierarchy — it shifts through everyday leadership choices.
Sponsor Session: Pure Biosciences
Morgan Young: Are You Smarter than a Sanitarian?
SESSION 3
Leadership Development Is Not a Side Hustle Renee Thresher, VP of Strategy and Innovation, Lundberg Family Farms Lynette Krampf, Quality and Food Safety VP, Post Consumer Brands
If leadership development isn't part of your business strategy, it's part of the problem. Renee and Lynette explore how organizations are building leadership systems that drive culture and performance — and what it takes to embed development into operations, not bolt it on.
SESSION 4
Uncovering the Bias That's Blocking Your Growth Laurence Harvey
Sometimes the biggest barrier to growth is the story we didn't know we were telling ourselves. This session explores the unconscious beliefs that limit how we lead — and how those same blind spots can keep us from developing others.
Sponsor Session: FlexXray
Paula Schwarz: Foreign Material Contamination: Using Inspection Services to Resolve Product Holds
SESSION 5
When Leaders Shift, Culture Follows Jessica Marino, Micah Gwartney, Jade Giordani — Catalyst Alumni
Culture change doesn't require a top-down overhaul. It starts with everyday leadership behavior. In this alumni panel, hear how small, intentional shifts created real ripple effects across teams and micro-cultures.
SESSION 6
Closing Session: This Is Your Shift Point Jill Stuber & Tia Glave, Co-Founders of Catalyst Food Leaders
The day comes full circle. Reflect on what landed most, name the leadership shift you're ready to make, and leave with clarity — not overwhelm. Insight is powerful. Action is better.
