Emerging Leaders
You may be transitioning from senior individual contributor to team leader and supervisor. What got you accolades and promotions in the past is not what is needed now. No longer a focused technical expert, you are now a manager of people and programs.
Your people are looking to you for guidance, inspiration, resources, and professional development. Your manager wants your team fully utilized and achieving key performance targets. Delegation and time management are constant challenges. How can you hire the right people and ensure things are done properly when you are always pressed for time? What are the best strategies for managing conflict and articulating performance expectations?
How can you accelerate your leadership growth and build your managerial skill set? We have coaches that have successfully managed this transition and helped hundreds of leaders like you to do the same.
Rising Leaders
You are seen as a rising star. And yet, you often feel torn between the need to understand and advance strategic initiatives and at the same time solve day-to-day tactical challenges. In one meeting, you are given targets to meet and new initiatives to execute with little involvement or explanation. In another meeting, everyone looks to you as the boss, expecting you to have all the answers.
You’re called upon to resolve conflicts between teams and manage a newly distributed and virtual workforce. How can you lead a multi-generational diverse workforce and ensure a positive environment for everyone to do their best work? How can you develop that elusive “executive presence” that will mark you as promotion-ready?
We can serve as your confidential sounding board, thought partner, and leadership development coach. We can help you identify growth areas, manage work-life balance, and prepare for roles of greater scope and impact.
C-Suite
You have made it to the top where challenges don’t stop, they only increase in complexity and speed. Now you are responsible for leading an organization in an increasingly volatile, uncertain – and now virtual – world. In order to stay competitive, not only must your organization adapt, but so must you. You may need to:
Redefine your executive presence or personal brand.
Clarify and better communicate your leadership vision
Create a transition strategy for you and your organization
Build greater influence with your team or board
Identify and then leverage your greatest strengths
Thrive under increasing levels of stress
Develop greater confidence and ease with success
And you’ll need a place to have the conversations you just can’t have anywhere else. We have coaches who have been in your shoes and who would be honored to serve as your trusted coach, advisor, and confidential thought partner.

Charitable Giving
The Leadership Coach Group exists to develop leaders and empower them to create positive change in the world. One way we accomplish this is through our charitable giving. Every year we dedicate a percentage of our profits and offer complimentary youth leadership coaching and training to the Hugh O’Brian Youth (HOBY) Foundation’s Maryland Leadership Seminar, Inc. so that students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds can sharpen their leadership skills and have a positive impact on their community.
HOBY Maryland is the local, state-level affiliate of Hugh O’Brian Youth (HOBY) International. For more than five decades, HOBY has inspired young people to make a difference and become catalysts for positive change in their home, school, workplace, and community. As America’s foremost youth leadership organization, HOBY has a long history of successfully motivating young people to develop into outstanding leaders. Much of the work at HOBY involves young people exploring and identifying their unique leadership skills. Every student is different, and there is no attempt to impart a predefined set of attributes onto HOBY participants. They stress self-knowledge, uniqueness, and authenticity, not conformity. Students learn to mobilize their own unique traits and are exposed to particular leadership principles that they can explore and incorporate in a fashion that is true to their own personality.
Leadership Coach Group CEO, Micheal Seelman, attended HOBY Maryland as a high school sophomore and the 4-day seminar had a profound impact on the course of his life. As he describes it, HOBY was the spark that ignited a passionate to desire to serve others and lead the way. His life purpose to “help people and organizations reach their full potential” was inspired by his HOBY experience. He has served as a volunteer with the organization for over 30 years including leadership roles such as alumni president, director of facilitators, director of program, vice-chair of the seminar, and vice president of the board of trustees. In 2003 he was the first recipient of the HOBY Spirit Award for his impactful leadership development and volunteer work and in 2005 he was recognized as Outstanding Young Marylander by the Junior Chamber of Commerce for his public and community service.
