Denise Matteucci

I believe the purpose of life is to learn about who we are and how to use our influence with the greatest positive potential possible. It’s comforting to know we have a ‘net’ when we are learning how to become our full potential. .. A net to catch us and support us, to break our fall, to grab us before we harm ourselves or others. A net that respects us enough to tell us the truth when those around us are afraid to do so. I’m a very good net.

Profile
Denise guides leaders in the critical business of finding their courage and claiming their most authentic selves – heart, mind, spirit and voice – becoming a leader they themselves would follow through the fire.

Coaching Philosophy
Coaching from a holistic, strategic approach, grounded in her belief: as goes the leader, so goes the organization, Denise supports leaders in their discovery of authentic leadership. She partners with leaders to guide their organizations into admired, compelling and profitable cultures. Denise taps a leader’s current environment with all its opportunities and challenges for a practical, day-to-day knowledge and skills application approach to sustainable change. The work of leadership is not about getting over our fear of failure. The work of leadership is in embracing our fear of succeeding beyond measure and demonstrating this in ways which others follow.
