Mr. Favor’s extensive business experience before he co-created Catalyst Group, Inc. has brought to small and medium size law firms an expertise in strategic planning coupled with best business practices. His ability to bring the theory of leadership and self-mastery coupled with a balanced scorecard for law firm business has allowed the small and medium size law firms to be competitive in today’s market.
Mr. Favor’s current work is called Wise Leader which helps develop leaders in business and in service practices. Another one of his works is Leadership in Law; a strategic plan for developing associates, partners and staff members to work best at what they do. This coupled with his strong values based self-mastery teachings brings to the Catalyst client a new dimension to working towards goals.
Mr. Favor and Ms. Leone together present many presentations with a “He Said, She Said” presentation style of theory and practice application.
