Karen was the first supervisor/mentor I ever had that truly saw me as I am and actually cared about making sure I left my Graduate Assistantship better than I came. She was able to see the areas I needed a little pushing in and knew how to make you feel safe while also stretching you in those directions. Forever my favorite mentor!"

Leadership Identity Lab™ is designed to meet you where you are whether you’re in college, early in your career, or stepping into new responsibility. This work supports you in:
- Gaining clarity about who you are as a leader
- Making decisions with more confidence and less second-guessing
- Reducing stress and burnout caused by uncertainty or misalignment
- Taking clear, intentional next steps you can apply immediately
This isn’t about future leadership “someday.” It’s about clarity and direction you can use right now.
This work is about supporting you in becoming more of yourself, not someone else.
Leadership Identity Lab™ doesn’t ask you to perform, copy, or fit a leadership mold. Instead, it helps you understand your values, strengths, and leadership voice and lead from that place with confidence and intention. The goal isn’t transformation into someone new.
It’s alignment with who you already are.
You’ll leave with:
- A clearer understanding of your leadership identity
- Greater confidence rooted in self-awareness
- Tools to make values-aligned decisions
- A stronger, more authentic leadership presence
- Practical next steps you can apply immediately
No vague motivation. No guesswork. Just clarity you can use.
No — you don’t need a title to lead. Leadership Identity Lab™ is designed for emerging leaders, including those who are just beginning to step into leadership or don’t yet see themselves as “leaders.”
Leadership starts with identity, not position. This work helps you build a strong foundation before titles, expectations, or pressure define leadership for you.
Most leadership programs focus on skills, performance, or motivation. Leadership Identity Lab™ focuses on identity first. Instead of telling you how to lead, we help you understand who you are — so your leadership is intentional, aligned, and sustainable. This work blends reflection with action, clarity with real-world application, and personal growth with practical leadership development.
