Courtney Kaplan is a leadership coach with a voice: Her Substack, TBD, is a roadmap for creative transformation. She’s lived that transformation—in her words, “reclaiming peace and power.” She spent her career as a designer and design leader for 25 years. Her practice, Iconic Leadership Coaching, helps clients step into authentic power as they navigate their careers, improve communication, and build stronger relationships in order to be more successful. Her podcast, Evolution or Revolution, is a series of conversations about how people transform their professional lives and gives a peek behind the scenes of big change.
I met Courtney in her previous life as a Design leader at Meta. She created a whole new discipline of Design Program Managers who led the operational process for product (software) design from a customer-centric perspective. She hired amazing people (I poached some! :), and her energy was so bright it filled every room she entered.
If you’re looking for a coach, or a thought-provoking read or listen, I recommend Courtney and her work. She’s based in the Bay Area and sees clients online.
