about us

Alito is headed by partners in business and in life – Cat and Keith Matson.

Hi, I'm Cat.

What you need to know about me ...

I am a connection junkie. Seriously.

I'm constantly amazed and energised by the incredible inspiration, motivation and pure problem-solving power that emerges when you connect dynamic, savvy entrepreneurs. When you get raw, honest and bold. When conversations get really juicy.

Have you walked away from a business conversation feeling truly buzzed – lighter, smarter and confident you can take on everything between you and your ultimate goal? Maybe not often enough?

Which is why I just had to create Fusion, a meeting place in the real and virtual worlds, where we can all get our connection hit – where dynamic, savvy entrepreneurial business owners can come together to get real, spark ideas and fuel connections.

I've even managed to turn my addiction into my profession – when we work together it's all about connecting the people, ideas and resources you need to succeed: connecting your business and personal life for integrated well-being; connecting all the aspects of your business to create a wholistic strategy; connecting to your best customers and supporters through smart marketing and social media tools ... well, I could go on about this for ages.

In short, like I said, connection junkie!

What gets me fired up ...

Rigid definitions of success, and the pressure business owners feel to conform to them.

If you want to build the next Google, Apple or Microsoft, that's fantastic ... and if you want to focus on doing something you love while also having ample time and energy for your family, then that's just as valid.

Equally, your path to success will be as unique as your vision. What works for your neighbour, your competitor, your role model or mentor works for their particular combination of values, life circumstances, resources, skills, business model. You can certainly learn from their experience, but you must create your own path by building on your own beliefs, strengths and opportunities.

What people say about working with me ...

That I'm a business catalyst – a hit of energy that ignites change and generates powerful forward momentum.

That I'm a relentless strategy / brand crusader – I help you critically assess every opportunity and ask, "Does this take me closer to my objective?” If the answer is "no” we put it aside and keep moving!

That I have a knack for simplifying the complicated – clearing the rubble so you can be calm and clear about your next steps.

That I'm a firestarter, a spark for your success, and yeah, I'm pretty comfortable with that label. If I'm the spark in Alito then Keith is definitely the fuel – we're a great team!

Hi, I'm Keith

What you need to know about me ...

I'm pretty comfortable being the 'fuel' in the Alito equation – a hefty log of wood with quite a few well-earned growth rings  to show for my 40 years professional experience.

Like Cat, I thrive on conversation. Robust exchanges. Open, flowing discussions where we pull apart concepts, strategies, problems and examine them from every angle to find new ways in and new ways out.

People have been bugging me for quite a while to write a book capturing everything I know about business and personal performance. But blank paper doesn't excite me. It's one-on-one exchanges and action that switches me on for creative problem-solving and visioning.

Your most urgent questions, challenging situations, seemingly impossible goals (just about nothing is impossible!) – you bring them to the table and I'll give you specific, applicable advice drawing on four decades of working, learning and critical thinking. More than that, we'll the put rubber to the road and make sure you're getting real, measurable results.

What gets me fired up ...

So-called business gurus convincing you to throw good money after bad without delivering on the results they promised – usually because they don't have the depth of business experience necessary to view your enterprise wholistically, accurately diagnose problems and offer practical, proven solutions you can implement immediately.

What people say about working with me ...

Mostly they ask, "How come nobody told us this before?”

When we work together you get the practical, real-world, ‘how-to’ information you need to make serious progress towards your objectives.

I call it how I see it – if there's self-sabotaging, prevarication or good old-fashioned BS happening, I'm going to pull you up on it, we're going to work through it, and then we'll get on with the job at hand.

Together, we're Alito.

We'll energise your motivation, your thinking and your action. We're the spark and the fuel to ignite your business performance and get you focussed on what really lights you up – in  work and life.
