LEAD. INSPIRE. EMPOWER.
Great leaders know that in order to evolve, they have to invest in themselves. They also know that by doing so, they optimize their ability to inspire those around them. For you, this means getting really clear about your strengths, values, and vision for success. This means developing a leadership style and knowing how to implement it. This means being able to understand others while at the same time holding true to the larger vision. This means honing your intuition, rethinking your relationship with fear and failure, and growing the ways in which you motivate those around you. Great leaders don't just focus on results—they understand people and the keys to engagement. By working with a coach at LaDUKE COACHING, you'll excel in all of these areas.

Jason was a senior director of software engineering working at a major electric company. He had grown dissatisfied with product design and begun thinking about how to create more impact, specifically in regard to leadership and team building. In our coaching together, we designed a multi-faceted plan. 1) He dived deeply into his values, as well as his desire to assume a role of greater impact within the company. He identified fairness, honesty, and integrity as essential values to his leadership framework. 2) He developed a vivid picture of how he could act on these values and build the kind of career that best aligned with his sense of purpose. 3) He worked hard to establish his own leadership style and presence. 4) He fine-tuned his emotional literacy, particularly as a vehicle for him to build positive rapport and engaging feedback with his team. 5) He initiated conversations with his leaders above him about his ambitions and aspirations. Shortly after implementing this plan, they asked him to submit a job proposal for the role he'd like to take on. Consequently, they offered him the role, which resulted in him leading his own division, and six months thereafter, he was promoted again to site leader. He is now thriving, as is the culture he's creating around him.

Steve had recently become a manager at a global CRM provider. He had some experience leading others, but his workload had now increased and therefore so had his stress levels. As he felt this may be affecting his leadership, he had one primarily goal: to develop more confidence in communicating with his team and holding them accountable. Consequently, the coaching plan we designed together centered on helping him: 1) identify his strengths and how he could effectively lean into them 2) cultivate his growth mindset and dismiss self-limiting thoughts 3) improve his ability to listen at higher levels 4) prepare for intentional conversations beforehand with outlining and vision work 5) make him and his team members feel capable and accountable and 6) follow through on having intentional conversations with his team members. As a result, he experienced a tremendous relief in his stress levels, greatly improved at having efficient conversations with his team, and overall, felt his confidence go up.

Joy led a SCRUM team at a global CRM provider. Her rapport with her team was very strong; however, she found them to be a bit lax when it came to deadlines and accountability. In our coaching together, she developed a plan that included 1) fine-tuning her leadership style and overall strategy 2) leaning into her strengths 3) creating a shared team vision 4) challenging some of the ways members engaged with each other 5) developing, organizing, and streamlining a process through which members accessed and submitted documentation in their network and 6) planning and implementing a specific curriculum through which sprints, daily scrums, resolutions, and one-on-ones aligned with the team's larger vision. As a result, Joy continued to build a strong rapport with her team, particularly with helping them remain more accountable and meet their deadlines without panic.
