It's official. I've been working at Catalyst as the Innovation and Experience Director for the past 60 days, and my perception of the organization has been turned on its head. I've been collecting insights from my time here so far, and I thought I'd share them with you:

• The Catalyst team works extremely hard, but they also party like rock stars.
• Brad Lomenick plus a megaphone is a bad combination. (Not to mention tight pants.)
• Ken Coleman is the funniest guy on the planet... in a dark humor sort of way.
• You can get in trouble here for not dreaming big enough. "Realistic" is a bad word.
• The prayer times we have on Monday mornings would encourage you big-time.
• Everyone here credits the supernatural hand of God for the success of our events.
• I still haven't met the iconic Gabe Lyons.
• Chad Johnson, Dwaye Melton, and LV Hanson genuinely care for church leaders...
• But they would sell each other out in a heartbeat to win a competition. =)
• Catalyst Filter is about to become the premiere resource for church leaders. Trust me.
• We own more web URLs than you could imagine.
• We track more church leaders than any research firm on the planet.
• When it's "spirit week" at Catalyst, you'd better get in the spirit... or else. =)
• Brad Lomenick could get in touch with Hannah Montanna if he really wanted to.

That's a small sampling, but enough to give you a picture of what it's like around Catalyst headquarters.

What's the culture like around your office?
