Stop Priority Pinball
Focus on the one thing that actually matters right now.
The Catalyst Session - 90 minutes, one problem, a sparky lens, and a clear next step you can act on immediately..
You sit down to tackle the thing. You know which thing - you've been meaning to address it for weeks. But within ten minutes, three other problems have surfaced, two new ideas have arrived, and you're now mapping out a new service concept while the original thing sits untouched…
This is Priority Pinball.
Bouncing between vision and tactics. Between urgent and important. Between 'I need to fix it all' and 'I don't know where to start.' Taking lots of action but not quite gaining traction, because your focus keeps shifting before momentum has the chance to build.
The problem isn't that you don't have ideas or energy or capability. You have all three in abundance.
The problem is that you're often trying to work on everything at once. And without someone to help you discern which one thing is actually the right thing to focus on right now, the cascade just keeps… cascading.
A Catalyst Session is a focused, 90-minute strategy and mentoring conversation for when you:
Have an idea you want to sense-check before you run with it
Are weighing up a big decision and want to talk it through with someone who gets both you and your business
Feel stuck in one part of your business and want a fresh perspective
Need help mapping out the first steps for a specific project or pivot
It’s about getting you unstuck, clear, and ready to move without the overthinking, comparison, or doubt spirals!
That's exactly what a Catalyst Session is for.
In 90 minutes together, we do three things a sparky brain rarely gets to do alone.
Stop the cascade.
We start by doing the discernment work your brain finds genuinely hard - sorting through the possibilities to identify which problem or opportunity is actually most important right now. Not most urgent. Not most exciting. Most important. This focus alone is worth the session.
Go deep on the one right thing.
Once we have the right focus, we give it the full 90 minutes. No bouncing. No 'but what about...' diversions. Just your challenge, examined from every angle, with a thinking partner who understands how your brain works and what your business needs.
Leave with one clear next step.
Not a twelve-point action plan you'll feel trapped under three days later. One clear, specific, doable next step that allows your sparky brain to see and experience the immediate traction that kick starts momentum.
The Catalyst Session isn't about throwing ideas at you.
It's about cutting through the noise to find what actually matters - and leaving with the clarity and confidence to act on it immediately.
A Catalyst Session is perfect for you if...
You have one specific thing you've been going in circles on - a decision, an idea, a stuck point, a direction question.
You want to sense-check an idea before you invest time and energy running with it.
You're weighing up a decision and need a strategic sounding board who gets both you and your business.
You need fresh eyes on your positioning, your offer, or your messaging.
You want a contained, focused experience, not a big commitment, before you decide if deeper ongoing work together is right for you.
You've been wanting to work with me but a VIP Day feels like a big leap right now.
A gentle suggestion...
If what you're actually feeling is quite significant - if you have several areas that feel stuck, unclear positioning, offers that need reshaping, confidence that needs rebuilding, a Catalyst Session will give you some relief, but it won't give you the depth you need.
In that case, the Recalibration Day (VIP Strategy Intensive) is probably the right next step - that’s a full day together to untangle and recalibrate everything properly.
If you're not sure which one you need, book a Connection Call with me and we’ll work it out together.
What do people actually bring to a Catalyst Session?
Every session is different. But here are some of the questions and challenges that come up pretty often.
BUSINESS MODEL & OFFERS
"Should I narrow my niche or stay broad?"
"How do I package this area of my expertise into something people actually want to invest in?"
"What's the right pricing structure for this new service?"
"Do I stay with 1:1 work or move to group work?"
MARKETING & POSITIONING
"How do I explain what I do without sounding like everyone else?"
"What should my LinkedIn profile actually say?"
"Which marketing option is likely to be the most effective for me when I don’t like marketing!
"I know what I do is different - I just can't articulate how."
DECISIONS THAT WON'T RESOLVE THEMSELVES
"Should I hire someone to help or stay solo for now?"
"I have a collaboration opportunity - does it seem like a good idea?
"Should I say yes to this contract or focus on building my own thing?"
“I’m feeling a strong pull towards this area of work, but I’m not sure it’s viable?”
THE SPARKY SPIRAL
"I have five new ideas I could develop and I’ve been deliberating for three months."
"I know something needs to change but I just can't see what."
"I can feel the self-doubt descending and I need a sense-check on my plans."
"I’m on the cusp of burning it all down and going back to get a job - help!!"
Here's what's included.
BEFORE THE SESSION
A short pre-session intake form to capture the context I need, so we spend our 90 minutes working, not catching up.
THE SESSION
90 minutes via Zoom. I bring my full attention, my strategic brain, my sparky lens, and two decades of business experience to your specific challenge.
We start with discernment, making sure we're working on the right thing, and then go deep
AFTER THE SESSION
A copy of the recording, a brief summary of what we covered and your agreed next step, sent within 24 hours. I often include an extra resource or two from my library I can wee will be helpful.
THE INVESTMENT
$395 + GST - One-time payment. Book and pay online
Sessions available via Zoom and can typically be scheduled within 1-2 weeks of booking.
You need a thinking partner who gets your brain.
Most strategic thinking partnerships assume a neurotypical brain - linear, sequential, and able to hold a plan in place without it begnning to dematerialise by Wednesday.
I work differently. Because I’m wired differently.
Diagnosed with ADHD at 53 after more than two decades in business, I bring lived experience, formal ADHD coach training, and a pattern-spotting brain that works particularly well alongside sparky clients.
I know how to create and hold our container so the session doesn't become another Popcorn Brain session. I know how to help you find the one right thing when everything feels equally urgent. And I know how to make sure you leave with something you can actually act on.
I'm Angela Raspass, a Business Strategist, Self-Leadership Mentor, and ADHD Business Coach and I can’t wait to meet you!

What Catalyst Session Clients Say
Catalyst Strategy Session FAQ’s
-
A Catalyst Session is a single 90-minute focused session for one specific challenge - it's the most accessible way to work personally with me and the natural starting point if you're not yet ready for a bigger commitment.
The Recalibration Day (VIP Day) is a full-day strategy intensive where we go deep on your whole business picture, including your Spark Advantage Profile prepared in advance.Ongoing coaching is for women who want a strategic thinking partner in their corner for the longer game - momentum, accountability, and the conversations that keep you moving.
Many clients start with a Catalyst Session and move to the Recalibration Day or ongoing business coaching/mentoring from there.
-
Yes - after you book you'll be directed to a short prep form that takes around 15 minutes to complete. It covers your challenge, your business background, and what a successful outcome looks like for you.
This means we spend our 90 minutes actually working rather than catching up - and I arrive already thinking about your situation
-
It usually is, because we focus tightly on one thing rather than trying to cover everything. That said, if we get into the session and it becomes clear you're carrying something bigger - a full business recalibration rather than a single challenge, I'll be honest with you about that. The Recalibration Day exists for exactly that situation, and many clients move there after a Catalyst Session.
-
Absolutely. Some clients use them as a regular strategic check-in. Others book one, get what they need, and return months later when something new comes up. There's no obligation to commit to anything beyond the session you've booked.
-
Both options available:
Sessions are primarily via Zoom, which means we can work together wherever you are in the world. If you're Sydney-based and an in-person session would work better for you, get in touch and we can explore that.
-
That's actually one of the most common reasons people book - and it's completely fine to arrive with a swirl rather than a single clear question. Part of what we do at the start of every session is the discernment work: sorting through what's circling in your head to identify what's actually most important right now. Bring the swirl. We'll find the one right thing together.
-
Yes -when you book a Virtual Session you'll receive:
Full recording of our ZOOM session
Automated transcription
Any resources, frameworks, or links I mention during our conversation
You won't get a formal written report or action plan document (that's what a VIP Day includes), but you'll have everything we discussed captured so you can revisit it.
-
Usually within a week to 10 days depending on current availability.
After you book and complete payment, you'll hsvr access to the available times in my calendar. If you need something urgent or don't see a suitable time, email connectATangelaraspass.com.au and we'll see what we can arrange.
-
Then we'll talk about it. If it becomes clear during our session, or even before we meet, that what you're actually carrying needs a full day together, I'll say so. The investment you've made in a Catalyst Session counts as a genuine first step, and many clients move naturally to the Recalibration Day from here. Nothing is wasted.
-
Not at all. If Priority Pinball, Popcorn Brain, and the Confidence See-Saw sound like your daily experience, whether or not you have a formal label, you're in exactly the right place.
-
You'll receive a confirmation email with your prep form link and scheduling link. The whole process takes about 15 minutes and means I arrive ready to work with you straight away.
