About The Founder,
Lauren LeMunyan MCC
As a child I always wanted to figure out how to make things work better. I looked for solutions to create more ease for the user. I thought about how people interact with products and services, yes even as a 12-year-old. Little did I know that I was already applying Design Thinking strategies into my world view.
As a teenager and young adult, I flexed my entrepreneurial muscles and launched a custom hat business that I leveraged to pay my way through college. The skills I learned interacting with customers and craft fairs and young designer markets in Manhattan laid the groundwork for my next career in association management.
There I learned that members were the lifeblood of the organization. By hearing beyond the surface, asking critical questions, and building consensus among volunteers, I was able to revive two trade groups that were slumping financially and in relevance. I spent 11 years in this space creating events, developing marketing strategies and managing the backend until one day I realized I could have more impact working with leaders directly in the way they were showing up. I saw how presence and style correlates with trust and reputation.
In 2016 I made the bold step to leave my 11-year career in association management and launch Spitfire Coach as a fresh and dynamic approach to leadership development. I wanted to change the way people thought about executive coaching. I wanted to change how people viewed leadership. I wanted to people to feel excited about the work they were doing.
Five years later, I am proud to say we are doing just that. We are supporting leaders in finding their unique leadership style and voice. We are building strategies that get emerging leaders promoted. We are building teams of trust. We are transforming outdated management practices into invitations for inclusion, equity and diversity.
I know we have a long way to go in creating the change we want to see and I’m excited to see the magic that unfolds with our work together.
