Closing the Impact Gap™
A highly interactive, experiential workshop that helps leaders recognize the gap that can exist between leadership intent and employee experience, understand how everyday leadership moments contribute to it, and put more intentional leadership into practice in real time.
Designed for leadership teams, retreats, offsites, conferences, and development programs..
90 Minutes | 120 Minutes | Half-Day
The Gap Doesn't Stop With Employee Experience.
How employees experience an organization influences how they show up within it.
Whether people speak up, contribute ideas, take ownership, collaborate, trust leadership, and choose to stay can all be shaped by what they experience every day.
And those behaviors have consequences. They can affect innovation, productivity, efficiency, retention, customer experience, and ultimately, business performance.
The Impact Gap matters because what leadership can’t see, it can’t intentionally change.
Intentional Leadership In Action
Our Closing the Impact Gap™ workshop is anything but your average presentation. Through interactive activities and a hands-on community impact experience, participants put the principles they’ve learned into practice.
During a leadership conference, 150 attendees came together to build 51 Little Tykes Cozy Coupes for children facing medical challenges.
The children received 51 Cozy Coupes. But something else happened that day.
The organization gained something just as lasting:
A defining moment its people still talk about today.
The event ends.
The story doesn’t.
Shared experiences shape shared beliefs.
Shared beliefs become the stories people tell.
Those stories shape culture.
One Moment. Multiple Outcomes.
For the Organization
A memorable experience that brings organizational values to life, reinforces identity, and creates stories people carry forward.
For Its People
An opportunity to connect across roles, without hierarchy, collaborate around a shared purpose, and strengthen the relationships and beliefs that shape culture.
For the Community
A tangible contribution built around a genuine community need, creating impact that extends far beyond the organization itself.
The value isn’t simply in achieving three different outcomes. It’s in recognizing how each one has the power to strengthen the others.
Your Organization Is Being Shaped Every Day.
The question is whether you’re shaping it intentionally.
Every interaction, decision, and experience sends a message about what your organization values and what it means to be part of it.
Most leaders genuinely believe they’re creating an environment where people feel valued, trusted, and supported. But what leadership intends and what employees experience aren’t always the same.
That gap matters.
When leadership believes the intended experience is already happening, there may be little reason to question the moments creating the actual one.
The Impact Gap Diagnostic™
Do You Know If an Impact Gap Exists in Your Organization?
You know the environment you intend to create.
But is it the one your employees actually experience?
The free Impact Gap Diagnostic™ asks leadership and employees the same questions from two different perspectives, revealing where leadership perception and employee experience align and where they differ.

No ratings. No assumptions. Just a clear view of where perception and experience align, and where they don’t.

Meet the Founder
Jenny Catalano, Founder & CEO
After more than 20 years in corporate leadership, I came to believe that the strength of any organization begins with its people.
I became passionate about creating work environments where people feel valued, supported, and empowered to grow and contribute. Yet investing in the people who power an organization is too often treated as something to address when time, budget, or capacity allows.
It isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s fundamental to building and sustaining a successful business.
That belief is at the heart of Impact Events Collective.
Jenny’s perspective on employee engagement and community impact has been featured in Forbes.
