Leadership Coaching

Lead with Courage. Anchor in Care. Transform from Within.

Leadership today demands more than vision and strategy—it requires emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and the ability to lead others with both courage and compassion. Dr. Tyler Amidon offers transformational leadership coaching rooted in the principles of Radical Candor and the Leadership Circle framework. Whether you're navigating tough decisions, managing challenging team dynamics, or seeking personal growth, Tyler's coaching helps you think clearly and lead confidently.

Coaching Philosophy

"I help leaders think so they can act on their own. I lead by asking questions. I believe the most transformational leadership comes when we challenge directly and care deeply—about people, purpose, and growth."

Tyler's coaching centers on three powerful beliefs:

  • Radical Candor: The ability to challenge directly while caring personally

  • Leadership Circle: True leadership transformation happens from the inside out

  • Rational Compassion (Arthur Brooks): Leading with both the heart and the head—balancing empathy with accountability to help others grow and flourish

Arthur Brooks' idea of rational compassion plays a key role in Tyler's coaching. It's not about rescuing or over-accommodating. It's about caring enough to help someone become their best—even if that means making hard decisions or having difficult conversations.

His work equips leaders to:

  • Communicate with courage and clarity

  • Lead through complex, human-centered challenges

  • Build cultures of trust, accountability, and empowerment
