About me

My name is Carolyn Mounce

I work with people dealing with complexity who want to make sound decisions about what comes next.

My background spans leadership, systems work, and behavioural science. Over time, one pattern has been consistent: most difficult situations aren’t problems of effort or capability. They’re problems of clarity, judgment, and behaviour.

People often know what they could do. The harder question is what actually makes sense to do next.

That lens shapes how I work. I focus on how decisions are being made, what assumptions are at play, and how behaviour — individual and collective — is influencing outcomes.

My style is calm and grounded. It gives people space to think clearly under pressure, challenge unhelpful patterns, and identify a way forward that holds up in the real world.

Alongside this work, I lead organisational and systems work through Momenta HQ. The principle is the same at scale: sustainable change depends on how people actually think, decide, and behave — not on models or generic solutions.

The Catapult Effect is deliberately personal. The work adapts to the person, the situation, and the decisions in front of them.

This work often starts with uncertainty — that’s expected, not a barrier.

A behavioural lens

My work is grounded in a long-standing focus on human behaviour — how people think, decide, and act under pressure.

I’ve worked and studied across psychology, leadership, relationships, communication, and systems. What matters most to me is not theory, but how behaviour shows up in real situations — particularly when stakes are high and decisions are hard to make.

I’m known for translating behavioural insight into clear, practical judgment. Not models or frameworks — but understanding what’s actually influencing behaviour in context, and what that means for the next decision.
