Executive Coaching, Leadership Development and Women Who Lead
Empower Your Business Growth with Streamlined Organization
In the midst of your flourishing enterprise, the pace is exhilarating, yet the need for streamlined organization becomes paramount. Efficient structuring will sustain this momentum and keep your business on the fast track.
The wrong organizational setup can stifle progress, squandering past achievements. A pyramid-shaped hierarchy breeds inefficiencies, burdening growth with excessive layers of review and approval. Conversely, a flat structure needs more depth to nurture talent crucial for future expansions.
Envisioning potential horizons and leveraging decades of experience, we facilitate constructive conversations to design structures geared for success.
Unlock Your Potential with Our Expertise
We specialize in empowering businesses like yours to optimize their organizational frameworks. By partnering with us, you'll streamline operations and unlock the potential for sustained growth.

Let us help you create the blueprint for a thriving future.
Family-Owned Businesses
According to Grand Valley State University, the United States is home to 5.5 million family-owned businesses as of May 2022.
These familial enterprises constitute a significant portion of the economic landscape, contributing to 57% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employing a remarkable 63% of the national workforce (Family Enterprise USA, 2011). To put this in perspective, these businesses collectively provide employment to over 98 million individuals. Moreover, family businesses play a pivotal role in job creation, accounting for a substantial 78% of all new job opportunities (Astrachan and Schanker, (2003) Family Business Review 16(3) 211-219).

Beyond financial gains, family-owned enterprises espouse distinctive and valuable principles that extend beyond the pursuit of profits. Over 90% of these businesses, as indicated by Family Enterprise USA, identify their unique differentiators from non-family firms. They attribute their success to a steadfast commitment to long-term investment strategies, loyalty to employees and suppliers, and active contributions to their communities.
What sets family-owned businesses apart is their organizational structure and holistic approach to business operations. These entities face a delicate balance between familial dynamics and business exigencies, a line that isn't always clearly demarcated.
Success in one generation doesn't guarantee the same level of success in subsequent ones. An alarming statistic reveals that 30% of family businesses falter during the transition from the first to the second generation. This high attrition rate can be attributed to the ever-evolving landscape of the economy, industry shifts, and rapid technological advancements. Coupled with people's evolving desires and needs, what was effective in the past might prove inadequate or obsolete today and in the future.
Family Matters. It’s Your Business.
Navigating family concerns while re-organizing the family business for future success is not a “go-it-alone” strategy. Bringing in an outside family-business advisor and coach who has experience in bringing all stakeholders together to sort through the issues is.
NextGen Leadership Transition
We co-create an individualized plan unique to the needs of your family business. Using this approach, we strength family relationships while helping the future generation design strategy and plan that creates a sustainable future for generations to come.
Leadership Coaching and Advisory
Has your leadership kept pace with the changing times? Transforming your business means transforming yourself and those on your leadership team. Having a coach, thought partner, and advisor who has decades of experience in evolving and transforming family businesses by focusing on enhancing your leadership mind and heart is key in igniting success for you and your family.
Strategic Consulting
Strategy, as the cornerstone of organizational success, encapsulates the astute allocation of resources, navigating through the intricate pathways within an operational framework to reach predefined goals and measurable outcomes. A robust strategy, akin to a well-crafted compass, not only guides but shapes the trajectory toward attaining these objectives. It's a blueprint meticulously designed to navigate the complex landscape of business endeavors.
Within this strategic framework lie two pivotal inquiries that serve as the fundamental pillars of planning:
- What precise objectives are we striving to accomplish?
- How do we orchestrate our efforts to realize these objectives effectively?
The first question crystallizes the overarching strategic goals, laying the foundation upon which the entire operational edifice is constructed. Meanwhile, the second query unravels the intricacies of execution, detailing the pathways, methodologies, and tactics essential for goal realization.
In the tapestry of strategic discussions, an equally critical aspect often overlooked is the organizational culture—the ethos that underpins how individuals within the organization synchronize their efforts. This culture, whether fostering innovation, collaboration, or adaptability, catalyzes an organization forward, enabling it to surpass competitors and carve its niche in the competitive landscape.
At Igniting Success, our team of adept advisors and seasoned facilitators doesn't just navigate the strategic realm; they become integral partners, co-creators working hand-in-hand with your executive team or burgeoning entrepreneurial endeavor. Together, we forge a path that aligns aspirations with actions, turning visions into tangible, achievable goals.

The effectiveness of a CEO, their executive team, and the entire organization hinges on the capacity to skillfully orchestrate conversations that propel both team dynamics and organizational growth. To excel in this role, one must master the language, conversations, cognitive processes, and actions that foster innovation.
Developing proficiency in fostering an innovative culture entails exploring and honing skills, abilities, and wisdom essential for leading and navigating with agility, adaptability, and celerity in complex and ever-evolving landscapes.
Moreover, a successful CEO crafts frameworks that coordinate promises and actions, adeptly managing expectations satisfaction, and addressing dissatisfaction. Central to this role is cultivating, managing, and restoring trust among team members and stakeholders.
Further, effective leadership requires a paradigm shift in conventional practices and processes to enable the team to operate at an enhanced level, delivering increased value.

Leadership Development
Leadership embodies a practice rather than a possession, reliant on a learning approach often neglected in traditional teachings. This method of learning involves a nuanced process, facilitated through reflection—a deliberate pause to delve inward. It's about uncovering ingrained habits and latent assumptions that might sabotage desired outcomes. This learning approach encompasses introspection and self-awareness.
Effective leadership flourishes when driven by a personal commitment to evolve, within a supportive yet challenging environment that encourages the exploration of new mindsets and the honing of fresh skill sets. Our adept coaches and facilitators excel in crafting learning spaces that aid leaders across all levels in fostering communities and acquiring the necessary experiences to enhance self-leadership, enrich relationships positively, and effect change within broader systems.
Leadership demands substantial effort. It necessitates harmonizing oneself with those led and the entire organizational structure. To empower your team, you must acknowledge and believe in their potential. Before nurturing others, self-development must take precedence.
By transforming leadership into a practice, one opts for confidence over doubt, courage over comfort, and prioritizes what is right over what is facile.
A Leader’s Journey
This program extends an invitation to senior and executive leaders, urging them to harness their unique qualities to drive success.

Subsequently, a personalized year-long leadership development strategy will be collaboratively crafted with the leader. This strategy aims to revitalize, redefine, polish, or uphold the leader's brand, serving as the cornerstone for forthcoming coaching sessions.

Accelerate: A Legacy Blueprint to Design Your Legacy Blueprint
Many CEOs and executive leaders overlook the importance of actively shaping their legacy, mistakenly believing that it's determined only after departing an organization. However, this notion is fundamentally flawed. Legacy isn't solely about the imprint left post-departure; it embodies the cumulative impact of your actions and decisions across the entire spectrum of your leadership journey.
Consider legacy as a living narrative, evolving at every stage of your career. It burgeons with each experience encountered, with the daring implementation of novel, untested ideas, and the pursuit of audacious ideals. Furthermore, it thrives with each instance where you motivate and empower others to materialize their aspirations. Effective leadership is a continual reinvention, an ongoing process of exploration that refines your perspectives, introduces new skill sets, nurtures varied aptitudes, and kindles fresh interests.
Crafting your legacy demands purposeful dedication, requiring attention throughout your career rather than relegating it to the twilight of your tenure before retirement. It involves intentional actions to leave a positive and enduring imprint not just on the organization but on the lives of those you lead and inspire.
Deliberating your legacy involves:
Proactive Planning. Envision the impact you wish to have and strategize ways to realize this impact at every juncture of your leadership journey.
Executive Reflection. Regularly assess your decisions, actions, and their consequences, seeking opportunities for growth and improvement.
Empowering Others. Inspire and enable your team members to flourish and make significant contributions, fostering a legacy that extends beyond your individual achievements.
Adaptability and Innovation. Embrace change, innovation, and the courage to explore unconventional paths, fostering a culture of adaptability and resilience.
Communication and Collaboration. Cultivate open communication and collaboration, nurturing an environment where diverse perspectives are valued, and collective achievements contribute to a shared legacy.
By consciously weaving these elements into your leadership fabric, you not only cultivate a meaningful legacy but also instill a legacy mindset among those you lead, ensuring a lasting impact that transcends your tenure. Remember, your legacy reflects your leadership journey—a tapestry woven with purpose, integrity, and the collective aspirations of those you've guided and inspired.
Design, Development, and Implementation Process:
- Phase I: Identify Key Positions
- Phase II: Conduct Position Analysis
- Phase III: Develop Legacy Development Plan
- Phase IV:
Monitor, Evaluate, Revise
Accelerate: Women Who Lead to Women Who Lead
Our collaboration encompasses a spectrum of leadership coaching, advisory services, and thought partnership—precisely the support I yearned for in my own journey many years ago. I distinctly recall the longing for an executive mentor, someone extending a guiding hand, offering unwavering support amidst the intricacies of life's myriad responsibilities.
The intersection of being a female executive and now, a triumphant businesswoman, often prompts a perennial internal dialogue: "Do I prioritize nurturing care, or do I embrace assertive leadership?" This seemingly perpetual quandary, a tightrope walk between femininity and leadership, is fueled by entrenched gender stereotypes still prevalent in organizational structures. Women who grapple with these contrasting energies—nurturing feminine energy versus assertive masculine energy—often encounter obstacles in navigating organizational landscapes and advancing their careers.
However, envision a paradigm shift where this isn't viewed as conflicting polarities but as a harmonious dynamic tension. What if women, and the organizations they contribute to, reframed this dichotomy as a source of strength? What if they learned to harness the entire spectrum of this energy continuum, transforming it into a strategic advantage?
As someone who has occupied numerous leadership roles, I comprehend the nuanced art of inspiring, supporting, and challenging women to access the entire energy spectrum. I possess the insight to guide women toward embodying what every organization craves—a leader who adeptly wields both the nurturing care and the decisive take-charge attitude.
My approach involves:
Empowerment Through Balance. Guiding women to integrate and balance these seemingly opposing energies, recognizing that both care and assertiveness are integral to effective leadership.
Strategic Navigation of Organizational Realities. Providing tailored strategies to navigate organizational landscapes that are still evolving toward embracing diverse leadership styles.
Cultivating High Integrity Authentic Generative Leadership. Encouraging women to lead authentically, drawing from their unique blend of strengths and qualities without conforming to predefined gender norms.
Fostering Inclusive Leadership Environments. Advocating for and nurturing environments where diverse leadership styles are valued, fostering inclusivity and maximizing collective potential.
By empowering women to embrace and harmonize the full spectrum of their inherent leadership energies, we foster an environment where their multifaceted strengths can flourish. Together, we catalyze a transformational journey, creating leaders who adeptly wield the balance of nurturing care and authoritative leadership—a potent combination that drives both personal fulfillment and organizational success.

Coaching Supervision
Coaching Supervision, as defined by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), embodies a collaborative learning practice aimed at continuously enriching a coach's capabilities through reflective dialogue. It serves as a mutually beneficial endeavor for both coaches and their clients, fostering a space where coaches refine their skills and broaden their perspectives.
The primary focus of Coaching Supervision is to augment the coach's capacity by offering a more comprehensive and diverse avenue for support and development. It facilitates a secure environment where coaches can openly share their triumphs and setbacks, fostering mastery in their interactions with clients.
Unlike traditional teaching methodologies, Supervision is less about instructing and more about facilitating self-discovery within the coach. It revolves around the profound realization that "who I am as a coach shapes how I coach." This heightened self-awareness introduces fresh dimensions for coaches to explore within their coaching practice, significantly impacting their interactions with clients.
Through Supervision, coaches cultivate an environment conducive to embracing vulnerability and discomfort. This allows them to delve deeper into their experiences, fostering a stronger connection with themselves as a coach through innovative reflection and inquiry. This self-exploration and the ability to embrace vulnerability are entirely transferable to the coaching process, enhancing the overall coach-coachee experience.
Supervision:
- Encourages Self-Discovery. Guides coaches in exploring their identities as coaches, emphasizing that self-awareness enriches their coaching dynamics.
- Fosters Psychological Safety. Provides a secure space for coaches to embrace vulnerability, enabling profound introspection and growth.
- Strengthens The Coaching Dynamics.
Enhances the coach-coachee relationship by transferring the gained insights and self-awareness into the coaching sessions, ultimately benefiting the clients.
By embracing Coaching Supervision, coaches embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and professional growth. This process elevates their coaching proficiency and enriches the coaching experience, fostering deeper connections and impactful outcomes for both coaches and their clients.

Team Coaching Supervision provides a panoramic perspective of the client team as a unified entity, encompassing the intricate interplay between the team coach, the team itself, and the supervisory system within their respective environments. This comprehensive approach delves into the cultural, historical, organizational, and systemic aspects, shaping their viewpoints and influencing how they perceive their world and its interconnected spheres. The primary focus lies in nurturing the Team Coach's well-being, cultivating a reflective mindset, and examining their focus areas and beyond.
Within the realm of team coaching supervision, individuals are encouraged to explore and reflect on their experiences, encompassing personal dynamics, team coaching partnerships, and client relationships. This crucible fosters skill refinement and professionalism, benefiting their clients.
Angela's journey through supervision has provided her invaluable insights into the intricacies of team dynamics:
