We Built the Leadership System We Wish Had Existed

You're here because something about the way you've been leading isn't working anymore. The exhaustion. The second-guessing. The weight of holding everything together. We know, because we lived it. And we built tne Leadership Expansion System™ to end it, for good.

 

You've Done Everything Right. So Why Does Leadership Feel This Hard?

 

You followed the playbook. You earned the title, built the teams, delivered the results. You read the books, attended the trainings, and pushed through when others would have quit.

And somewhere along the way, the role that was supposed to be the reward became the thing that's running you into the ground. 

The problem isn't your work ethic.

 

It's not your team. It's not even your workload.

The problem is that no one ever taught you how you were designed to lead. Instead, you learned to perform leadership, to manage, to overfunction, to say yes when you meant no, to carry the mental and emotional load for everyone around you.

That's not leadership. That's survival.

We know because we've been there, two decades in Fortune 500 boardrooms, leading teams, hitting targets, and quietly wondering why success felt so depleting.

Until we discovered a different way.

We Don't Coach Leaders. We Realign Them.

 

The Leadership Expansion System™ exists because we needed it first.

We spent years leading the "right" way, pushing past exhaustion, managing through friction, performing confidence we didn't feel. We built careers at LinkedIn, Salesforce, and CDW. We led enterprise teams. We hit every metric. And we burned out anyway.

What changed everything wasn't another leadership framework. It was understanding our unique design.

Leadership Design gave us the language. Our 40+ years of corporate leadership gave us the strategy. Together, they became the Leadership Expansion System™, a solution that diagnoses the root cause of burnout and realigns how leaders operate.

We don't teach you to work harder or manage better. We help you lead as yourself, so leadership becomes sustainable, not sacrificial.

Alignment Over Effort 

Sustainable leadership doesn't come from pushing harder. It comes from operating in congruence with your design.

Clarity Over Chaos 

We don't deal in abstractions. Every insight we deliver is specific, practical, and immediately applicable.

 

Truth Over Performance 

We're not here to make you feel good. We're here to tell you what's actually happening & what to do about it.

Energy Over Hustle 

You don't need more discipline. You need a system that works with your natural energy, not against it.

 

Two Careers. One Breaking Point.

A Completely New System.

We're Lynn and Katie. Twin sisters, business partners, and Independent Initiator Strategic Fixers. 

Between us, we've spent over 40 years in corporate leadership. Lynn built federal programs at CDWG, led commercial teams at Salesforce, and served as VP of Global Marketing. Katie led enterprise talent solutions at LinkedIn, ran operations as COO, and held executive roles across tech, professional services & publishing.

We know what it takes to perform at the highest level. We also know what it costs.

For years, we led the way we were taught—through effort, discipline, and sheer willpower. We managed teams, exceeded quotas, and kept showing up even when we had nothing left. We thought burnout was just part of the deal.

It wasn't

When we discovered Human Design, everything shifted. We finally had language for patterns we'd lived unconsciously for decades, why certain decisions drained us, why some teams clicked while others created constant friction, why leadership felt like a role we were performing instead of an identity we embodied.

But Human Design alone wasn't enough. The energetic insights were powerful, but they weren't built for the boardroom. So we built the bridge ourselves.

The Leadership Expansion System™ merges energetic alignment with corporate leadership strategy. It's the system we created because nothing else existed and it's the system that ended our own burnout cycles for good.

Now we bring it to leaders who are exactly where we were: successful on paper, exhausted in reality, and ready for something that actually works.

Meet Lynn & Katie

Lynn spent 20+ years in enterprise sales and marketing leadership, including roles at Salesforce, CDWG, and CircleIt. She built the Federal Channel Program for the Department of Defense, led commercial financial services teams across the Midwest and Canada, and served as VP of Global Marketing.

She's an Independent Initiator Strategic Fixer who spent years leading against her design before discovering there was another way. Now she helps leaders see what she couldn't for two decades: burnout isn't a badge of honor... it's a signal that something's misaligned.

Lynn brings pattern recognition, strategic clarity, and an ability to diagnose leadership misalignment within minutes.

When she's not working with clients, you'll find her hunting for vintage treasures for Our Third Twin Vintage, the online shop she and Katie run together.

As an Independent Initiator Strategic Fixer, Katie understands what it means to succeed by every external measure while quietly running on empty. She brings that lived experience, plus deep expertise in team dynamics, organizational behavior, and leadership development, to every client engagement.

Katie is known for her ability to translate complex energetic concepts into clear, corporate-ready strategy.

Outside of Believe Blueprint, she co-runs Our Third Twin Vintage with Lynn, proof that building something beautiful doesn't have to mean burning out.

A Few Things You Might Not Expect

 

We're identical twins. Yes, we finish each other's sentences. No, we don't find it weird.

We run a vintage store together, because we believe in building things that are beautiful, intentional, and made to last. (Sound familiar?)

We're both Independent Initiator Strategic Fixers, which means we're designed to initiate, move fast, and trust our instincts. It also means we have zero patience for fluff, which is probably why our work is the way it is.

Combined we've spent 40+ years in corporate America and 20+ years studying energetics. Believe Blueprint™ & The Leadership Expansion System™ is what happens when you stop treating those worlds as separate.

What It's Like to Work With Us

SUCH MEANINGFUL INSIGHTS

"This session offered such meaningful insights, it helped me see myself more clearly and recognize the parts of me that need care and intention. It reminded me to slow down, not just do for the sake of doing, and to show myself a little more grace along the way. I walked away with a clearer sense of where I naturally thrive and how to keep nurturing that in a sustainable way." 

-COO in Hospitality

SUPER HELPUL WITH DECISION MAKING

"I don’t think I’m good at making decisions. In fact I think that is not one of my strengths. So learning the best way for to make a decision based on my design was super helpful. [Leadership x Design is] Great so far! Loving learning more about why I do the things I do as a leader. "
