What is a Knowledge Catalyst?
A knowledge catalyst engages with people, objects, ideas, and experiences with strong curiosity and motivation in order to seek information about the world around them. A knowledge catalyst gathers information from many sources to discover other layers of knowledge and understanding that are then processed and internalized. After discovery, a knowledge catalyst is then propelled by an intense desire to communicate and to share this new knowledge with other people in their network. By actively sharing knowledge with others, a knowledge catalyst positions themselves as a key contributor for the development of a robust web of knowledge.

The Cycle of Knowledge

Discovery
Discovery

Discovery is the process of building knowledge or processing and internalizing what we explored through engagement. Discovery represents the moment when knowledge is transformed inside of us, and this transformation ignites the knowledge catalyst to share!

Curiosity
Curiosity

Curiosity is the motivational drive towards something or someone. It is the fire that sparks our interest to learn more about things, people, and everything in between. Without a genuine curiosity, we cannot inspire change.

Sharing
Sharing

Sharing is what differentiates a knowledge builder from a knowledge catalyst. Unlike a builder who is satisfied with knowledge consumption, a catalyst feels an urgent drive to communicate and to share their findings with others.

Engagement
Engagement

We engage with people and resources around us to occupy an interest or curiosity, so we can then participate in action! Engagement represents acts of interaction and exploration.

The Knowledge Catalyst Movement

People are the most important asset to the knowledge catalyst movement. We aim to attract as many curious catalysts that are willing to share in our movement with one hope to provoke change and inspire discovery in our understanding of the world and to apply these actions to our networks. We seek to contribute to the building and strengthening of an inclusive web of knowledge, where individuals from multiple and diverse backgrounds actively contribute to the generation of new knowledge and transmission of this knowledge to people around the globe. This movement will help us to find the knowledge catalyst that exists in all of us. If you want to pursue your curiosities and to better understand your experiences, you are not alone. The first step of this movement is to apply these ideas to your everyday life. Please reach out if this has inspired you!
