YOUR POWERFUL PERSONAL & PROFESSIONAL GROWTH EXPERIENCE
LEARN TO STRATEGICALLY CAPITALIZE ON YOUR STRENGTHS
Don’t Change… GROW!
Achieve success by discovering who you are when you’re at your best.
DO ANY OF THESE SOUND FAMILIAR?
- You’ve tried to upgrade your career or reinvent yourself but you’re still not where you want to be.
- You’ve had it with people telling you that you need to change.
- You know you have a lot of potential, but you’re not on the right platform to showcase your strengths.
- You’ve taken personality tests, but they haven’t made any real difference in your career.
- You’re still saying, “I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up!”
Did you know… 85% of your financial success is due to your personality and ability to communicate, negotiate, and lead? —forbes.com
IMAGINE HOW YOUR CAREER AND CONFIDENCE WOULD SKYROCKET IF…
You knew exactly what your unique personality strengths are and how to take advantage of them.
You understood how to manage the negative aspects of your personality that are holding you back.
You could accurately and clearly explain who you are and what you do in a compelling way.
There was a proven and affordable program that could provide you with a new mindset and inspiration to accelerate your personal and professional growth.
TLT Coaching does exactly that.
Meet Laurie Blazek and Dr. George Watts
Founders and Creators of TLT Coaching
After 20+ years coaching and training thousands of professionals, we know how much you will benefit from this valuable journey in self discovery. Gain a deep understanding of yourself and strategically capitalize on that knowledge.
We created TLT Coaching to make this groundbreaking personal growth process accessible to everyone.
Why change when you can grow?
TLT COACHING ANSWERS THESE TWO FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS:
- How do I better understand and strategically use my strengths in my career and life?
- What aspects of my personality can derail my success and how do I minimize them?
On paper it seems so simple, but in fact most people don’t know the answers. And personality profiles that put you in a box or simply list your strengths fail to answer them!
Achieve career and life success.
Become more of who you are when you’re at your best.
People often struggle and fail to achieve their goals over and over again. It’s likely because they don’t understand their core personality strengths and the shadows that continue to derail them.
Research shows that the happiest and most successful people know what they’re naturally good at and base their career around their strengths. Understanding your strengths and how to capitalize on them isn’t always easy. We help you identify the unique aspects of your personality and how to exploit strengths to drive success.
It’s also important to look not just at strengths, but at yourself holistically. With each strength, there is a shadow. If not matured, the shadow can derail your success. You’ll never reach your full potential unless you take the growth step to understand both your strengths and shadows.
TLT Coaching will change the way you think about yourself so you can focus your energy!
Your messaging and expertise is a rare find and really needs to be out there in a big way!
“One year ago, you gave me advice based on my personality type and guidance on how to activate my personality strengths. You gave me examples of how to leverage my strengths to tap into my confidence and fly. One year later, I have a successful human capital practice that is exactly what you coached me to do.
This goes to the very core of self-confidence and breaking through barriers to coach/direct women to be their true best by embracing the very things you discuss. Smart intuitive women will take your nuggets of advice and put them to work and get results (I have!).”

Executive Program
How is
Different?
WE BELIEVE IN GROWTH NOT CHANGE.
Growth is becoming more of who you are when you’re at your best. We’ve discovered that people hate to change, but they love to grow!
This is the opposite mindset of the vast majority of coaching and training programs. They start with the premise that there is something inherently wrong with you and that you need to change. But change is unnatural, that’s why people resist it. Growth is naturally inspiring!
HOLISTIC COACHING AND TRAINING LEADS TO LONG-TERM GROWTH.
Focusing solely on strengths misses what’s beneath the iceberg. We help you mature your strengths AND lighten your shadows. Your growth will be limited unless you address the issues that can and will threaten your career.
SELF-KNOWLEDGE WITHOUT A GAME PLAN GETS YOU NOWHERE.
Once you gain self-knowledge, we show you how to capitalize on your unique personality and use your strengths strategically. You’ll have an action plan to build the career and life you deserve.
In our Core 
program you’ll get:
- Our eBook, Becoming a Strategic Leader
Reading this engaging book full of practical examples helps you discover how to capitalize on your personality and use your strengths strategically. You’ll also gain in-depth knowledge of how to use personality psychology to better communicate and successfully sell yourself and your ideas. - Personal Journal
As you read Becoming a Strategic Leader, you’ll reinforce and internalize concepts through your journal. This process is designed to help you interpret the book’s messages and understand how they specifically apply to you. - Career Branding Exercise
This is the exact exercise we use in our leadership development workshops and with all our private executive coaching clients. The exercise guides you through the process of creating your personal brand using 7 specific words that most accurately describe you when you’re at your best! Creating a 7-word personal branding statement is not only a huge confidence builder, it provides you with unparalleled clarity to guide your career decisions.
- Coaching Tip Videos
This series of powerful 3-4 minute coaching tip videos are designed to deepen your confidence, emotional intelligence, and maturity. We take a completely different approach to topics like managing your ego, overcoming self-doubt, thinking accurately, patience and becoming a great listener. - Career and Leadership Development Articles
These engaging articles expand on concepts found in Becoming a Strategic Leader and dive deep into topics that frequently arise in our leadership coaching practice. - Action Plan
This plan will help you leverage what you’ve learned about yourself. The improved confidence and emotional resilience you’ve gained through TLT Coaching will help you focus your energy and take specific action to move your career forward. - You Become Part of the TLT Coaching Community!
On the website where you’ll access all your content, there’s a community comments forum in every section. We encourage you to share what you’re learning, breakthroughs, and ‘aha’ moments. Also, let us know if you’re struggling or have questions. When you embark on the TLT Coaching journey of personal growth you become both the student and the teacher!

TLT COACHING GIVES YOU A COMPETITIVE EDGE AND A CLEAR PATHWAY FORWARD!
How does work?
The material contained in the Core Program is the same whether you take the four week accelerated learning track or space the learning out over twelve weeks, studying one hour per week.
TLT Coaching has three parts that correspond to the three sections in the eBook, Becoming a Strategic Leader.
PART I OF THE BOOK IS EXPLOITING YOUR PERSONALITY.
This is all about YOU– understanding your strengths and the shadow behaviors that can derail your career. Part I includes:
- Reading the first 8 chapters & completing the corresponding journal entries.
- Watching the first 4 coaching tip videos and reading the first 4 articles.
The coaching tip videos and articles stem from our coaching experience helping clients with their own career challenges and opportunities. Articles and videos deepen and broaden the core themes of the book.
PART II OF THE BOOK IS STRATEGIC TRANSACTING.
Here you’ll take what you’ve learned about your strengths and apply it to setting yourself apart through adding real strategic value. Part II includes:
- Reading the next 11 chapters & completing the corresponding journal entries.
- Watching 4 additional coaching tip videos and reading 4 more articles.
PART III OF THE BOOK IS STRATEGIC COACHING.
Even if you are not currently in a leadership role, you’ll gain great insight into how to take control of your own performance evaluation, positively contribute to your team and corporate culture and improve your time management skills. Part III includes:
- Reading the last 5 chapters of the book & completing the corresponding journal entries.
- Watching the last 4 coaching tip videos and reading the final 4 articles.
ANY TIME AFTER YOU FINISH READING CHAPTER 7 YOU CAN COMPLETE THE CAREER BRANDING EXERCISE.
This exercise is powerful. We guide you through the process of ranking your personality traits, identifying your career brand and then creating your unique branding statement. You’ll describe who you are when you’re at your best using accurate and specific language.
ONCE YOU’VE FINISHED PART III, YOU ARE READY TO CREATE YOUR ACTION PLAN.
Here you reflect on what you’ve learned and where you want to take your career. You identify specific goals and action steps you will commit to taking over the next year.
Advanced Career Coaching
SUPERCHARGE YOUR RESULTS AND ACCELERATE YOUR GROWTH BY ADDING ONE-ON-ONE CAREER COACHING TO YOUR CORE PROGRAM
By completing our Core Program, you’ll gain insight into yourself that will catapult your career and personal growth. Adding one-on-one career coaching helps you focus and use what you’ve learned to accurately visualize your future and take action to achieve your goals.
Your 45-minute individual coaching session includes the review of a customized report created from your answers to our coaching questionnaire.
You can use this coaching session to prepare for an important interview or performance review or to discuss how to leverage strengths in your current or future role. Coaching can also address how to manage your shadows, strategize about a major career decision, or think through career roadblocks.
Over the past 20 years, we’ve worked with entrepreneurial start-ups to Fortune 500 companies. CEOs and senior leaders have relied on us for guidance.
WE’VE NEVER OFFERED PRIVATE COACHING IN THIS WAY BEFORE.
We knew more people needed to have access to this powerful coaching experience and our hourly rate was just too high a barrier.
By bundling our Core Program with a customized feedback report followed by a 45-minute coaching session, we created a system that provides access to high quality career development at an affordable price.
Our goal is to collapse time for you. Imagine what you’re already capable of if only you could unlock the power of your greatest asset, your own unique personality.
YOU CAN USE YOUR COACHING SESSION TO:
- Hone your personal brand or career branding statement
- Prepare for an important interview or performance appraisal
- Confront and address your shadows or any issues that might be holding you back
- Think accurately about major career decisions so you don’t waste valuable time on the wrong track
- Explore options and map out your pathway to career success

“I received a call from a client that we won the largest deal this year. This is one of my most passionate deals, that I shaped and landed. This is truly a groundbreaking deal – one of my proudest pieces of work.
I evolved as part of this; and I am so glad you took me on as a student just when this deal was starting. I couldn’t have done this unless I had learned what I learned from you. Thanks to you for all the coaching and time spent with me.”

You’ll never be as successful
as you could be if you try to be something you’re not!
It’s OKAY to be introverted.
It’s OKAY to be creative and full of ideas.
It’s OKAY to enjoy data and metrics more than people.
After workshops, many people thank us for giving them profound insight into themselves. Their ‘aha’ moment occurred when they discovered they can achieve success without changing who they are!
Being asked to change or imitate the behavior of someone else is the wrong path to take. It’s a huge mistake and a waste of time trying to be someone you’re not.
