EngagedLeadership

EngagedLeadership is a boutique coaching and training company for  leaders of all levels in top-of-craft organizations. 

Our coaches believe that everyone deserves to go beyond what they ever thought possible. 

We have seen how underdeveloped leaders limit productivity and hurt the bottom line, causing companies to tread water or even drown. EngagedLeadership helps established and emerging leaders to move past their current challenges, enabling your organization to scale effectively. 

Teammates Brainstorming During a Meeting

We also know that meaningful change does not happen overnight; it takes time and practice. When we enter a coaching engagement, we bring the objective, expert perspective that accelerates change — and make it last. That's why we always focus on engaging in work that leaders can carry forward long after we are gone.

Earning client loyalty is our highest form of gratification. We deliver the results we commit to, period. If you are dissatisfied, there will be no fee for our service. That means no risk for you to assess working with a new partner.

Our goal is to make the individuals we coach more effective in every part of their lives, so they can live the life they want to live, professionally and personally.

We want the same for ourselves.

By helping others, we help ourselves grow, learn, stretch, and enjoy—our efforts, our thoughts, our interactions, and our lives.

A Giving Back Mindset

At EngagedLeadership, we believe that giving back goes hand-in-hand with our work. We're committed to donating a portion of our revenue to support organizations and causes that do good in the world.

In addition to supporting organizations through donations, we also give our time and expertise to organizations where there is often little-to-no budget for leadership and management training, and where it is often needed the most.
 
If you run, work at, or are involved in a non-profit that you think would benefit from the work we do, go to our contact page and tell us your story. We guarantee you will hear back from us, and we will help in whatever capacity makes sense. We look forward to hearing from you.‍
