Welcome to a space where leaders
grow bolder, sharper,
and more human
and more human
without losing your sense of humor or heart.
It’s complicated by rapid change, shifting expectations, and the pressure to deliver results regardless.
Here, you’ll find practical tools and fresh perspectives that work in the real world. It’s not just theory, it’s the how. It’s what actually helps you have a greater impact.
And yes, there will be moments that make you laugh. Because leadership without humor? That’s just exhausting.
This is “inside-out work” that helps you discover your inner compass. We begin by turning a mirror on yourself, not to find what’s wrong, but to clarify what’s already powerful about how you lead.
This site is a resource hub: a place to find real-world strategies and proven frameworks, and ongoing support for your leadership journey. And for those who want a structured, hands-on approach to working through these concepts, the Leadership Accelerated Workbook gives you everything you need in one place.
Self-Awareness:
Get crystal clear on your values, natural strengths, and leadership style so you can lead with confidence and authenticity
Clarity of Goals:
Define exactly what you want to achieve and create a roadmap that excites and motivates you
Leveraging Experience:
Transform your daily challenges into accelerated development opportunities, because that's where 70% of real growth happens
Learning from Others:
Build your circle of allies, mentors, and champions who support your vision and amplify your impact
Want support working through these four areas?
Check out my workbook that covers all of them in practical, hands-on exercises you'll actually use.
I believe in "good trouble," the kind that challenges the status quo and opens doors for yourself and others.
You need someone in your corner who gets it, someone who understands the complex realities you're navigating and has the experience to help you cut through the noise.
I'm Dr. Angie McDermott, Executive Leadership Coach with McDermott Consulting Group. For 30+ years, I've worked with leaders like you in organizations like Procter and Gamble, Dell Technologies, and McCombs School of Business, University of Texas.
My approach is evidence-based because you deserve development grounded in research, not just opinions. But it's also grounded in real experience—I've been where you are, and I've helped hundreds of leaders navigate the path from where you are to where you want to be.
This is your safe place, where you can get practical advice, proven resources, and the support you need to accelerate your growth while staying true to who you are.
You already have what it takes. Now let's help you accelerate your development and create the impact you're capable of.
The Leadership Accelerated Workbook is your hands-on guide to doing exactly that. Inside, you'll find practical exercises, reflection prompts, and real-world strategies that help you move from "I know I'm capable of more" to "I'm doing it right now."
This isn't another book that sits on your shelf. It's the one you'll use, write in, and return to as you continue growing, working through all four areas of the method with exercises designed for real life, not just theory.
