Leadership Launchpad

Did you know that supervisors play a huge role – about 70 percent – in how engaged employees feel? That's why we are creating Leadership Launchpad. It's designed to help your newest supervisors build leadership skills that can drive results and foster teams to keep and energize your employees. The thing that sets us apart from other leadership training is that we offer both training and coaching in one program.

We start by teaching vital leadership skills during four, two-hour sessions followed by three months of coaching to ensure lasting results. We are finalizing the curriculum and will be accepting students in fall 2025.

Why Partner With Luck by Design?

Commitment to Excellence

Our coaches are certified coaches and experienced leaders with a deep commitment to helping you achieve your leadership goals.

Good coaching works. Our GREAT coaching wows. Expect awesome results!

Commitment to Partnership

The coaching relationship is a collaborative journey built on trust and mutual respect. Each leader is unique, and the coaching approach is tailored to the needs, context, and aspirations of the client (or group).

Commitment to Value

We believe that great coaching should not be a luxury. We're passionate about igniting engagement and building strong leaders for a thriving future. While we need to make a living, our primary drive isn't getting rich.

Why Invest in Coaching?

It’s clear something is off in the American workplace. I recently moved back to the U.S. and can feel the difference—and the numbers back it up. A recent Gallup study shows that employee engagement and satisfaction are at their lowest in over a decade.

The real work needs to happen with our middle managers and frontline supervisors. They're the ones who connect big-picture vision to day-to-day execution. They are the ones who affect the daily lives of employees and hold the power to transform a joyless workplace into a place of fulfillment and purpose. Coaches for C-suite executives are plentiful, but why wait until someone is already at the top to help them build their leadership skills?

Why not invest in the leaders who are driving results every single day? This way, your entire organization benefits for years to come. We offer individual coaching for those nearing advancement to the C-Suite and group coaching for lower and middle managers. In order to really drive change from the ground up, we are excited to announce that we are creating a part-coaching, part-training program for brand new leaders; and will be offering the first course in the fall.

. Recent studies have shown that coaching produces an average return on investment of more than seven times the cost of coaching. Further studies indicate that leadership coaching results in greater employee retention at all levels, higher productivity, increased job satisfaction and motivation which are a powerful force multiplier of the return on investment of coaching.
