  1. Setting the Context: Why Upskilling Matters Now
  2. The Business Cost of Under-Upskilling
  3. Upskilling as Preventive Maintenance
  4. Role-Based Upskilling Framework
  5. Assessing and Developing Capability at Each Level
  6. Practical Takeaways for HR and Business Owners

SPEAKER BIO

Matt Eichmann is the founder of Catalyst Point Leadership Advisors, where he helps organizations build leadership capability that drives results.

With more than 25 years of experience across commercial, industrial, and operational environments, Matt has led global teams as a Business General Manager, Chief Marketing & Sustainability Officer, and earlier as a Marine Corps Officer. Throughout his career, he saw a consistent challenge: capable people are often promoted into leadership roles without being prepared for the shift.

His work is grounded in three core beliefs: clarity beats complexity, trust is operational, and performance improves when friction is removed. Today, Matt partners with HR leaders, executives, and owner-led businesses to develop leaders who think clearly, communicate effectively, and take purposeful action—turning better leadership into measurable performance.
