Solutions That Help Experts Lead Bigger
Your best problem-solvers are ready to lead.
They just need the tools to lead well.
We help high-performing professionals step into leadership with confidence, so they can build strong teams, manage complexity, and expand their influence.
Through peer group coaching, 1:1 coaching, facilitated workshops, and real-time habit shifts, we turn individual expertise into results the business can feel.
Do Any of These Sound Familiar?
Your leadership bench is thin, and outside hires aren’t fixing it.
Your strongest subject matter experts are now leading teams, but delegation falters, communication breaks down, and silos are slowing down execution.
Training happens, but it’s disconnected from how leaders are actually hired, promoted, or supported.
Managers are stuck reacting to problems instead of building what’s next.
We help you build real leadership capacity, without losing the technical edge that got you here.
Turning Expertise into Scalable Leadership
Promoting smart people isn’t the problem.
Not defining what good leadership looks like? That’s where things break.
When expectations are fuzzy, feedback is spotty, and leaders are left to “figure it out,” alone. Execution slows, and silos deepen.
Your best people burn out doing too much themselves.
We fix that.
Our approach turns your strategy and values into clear, observable leadership behaviors, taught, reinforced, and measured on the job.
Just real habit change backed by practical tools and sustained support.
It’s how leadership stops being vague and starts scaling with the business.
How We Create Measurable and Lasting Change
We help your top experts lead with the same precision they bring to their work, so teams move faster, silos shrink, and execution scales.

Hi, I’m Therese Miclot.
For over 25 years, I’ve helped high-performing experts grow into leadership without losing the depth and precision that made them successful in the first place.
I witnessed my single-parent mom work at jobs with bad supervisors. It affected not only her and those she loved, but it motivated me to break the cycle by committing my career to developing effective, supportive bosses in service of those with less power.
I’ve coached and trained more than 4,000 professionals navigating the shift from expert contributor to trusted leader, helping them communicate across functions, lead with clarity, and build teams that don’t rely on them to do it all.
As a Master Certified Social Style® practitioner and co-author of The Facilitation Advantage, I’ve developed a behavior-based approach grounded in how technical thinkers actually grow: through clarity, application, and habits that hold under pressure.
I’ve led global faculty programs, worked across industries, and partnered with organizations where expertise runs deep, but leadership needs to run broader to unlock growth.
