Meet the team

Lynette Crane, CEO

Lynette Crane is a Minneapolis-based future-focused thought leader, speaker, and coach.

She created the first college course in the psychology of stress more than 40 years ago, then turned her attention to that underrated and under appreciated group, introverts, addressing that issue in her ground-breaking book, Quiet Brilliance: Solving Corporate America’s Leadership Crisis with Hiding in Plain Sight Talent.

Her newest program, Evolutionary Resilience Roadmap, was created to help people overwhelmed by VUCA overcome the brain fog, energy drain, decision fatigue and anxiety resulting from the pandemic and develop the clarity of thought, deep intuition and self-regulation to participate in creating a new and better culture.

Her background in social psychology and deep interest in history have led her to help clients step outside the broad sweep of current culture to contemplate their own values and how they might best develop their talents to serve not only themselves but the world as well.

Scott Lucado, Associate

Scott is an Executive Coach, Corporate Consultant, and Expert in Training & Organizational Development.

Mr. Lucado  specializes in identifying and helping organizations overcome “corporate barriers”: the technical, organizational, and leadership areas that cause self-inflicted wounds. These vulnerabilities are most apparent to a master such as Scott with his over three decades of experience.

He has a distinguished career with such corporate icons as Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, American Airlines, SABRE, Wells Fargo Mortgage, Proctor & Gamble, Rush-Presbyterian St Luke’s Medical Center, and others. His portfolio of success includes:

Developing systems that promote efficacy and retention, reduce turnover, and reduce required training time, in areas as diverse as Airbus pilot training, medical student virology education, combat infantryman weapons training, and manufacturing error reduction.

Recognizing that there are only four reasons companies spend money (cost reduction, revenue enhancement, compliance, and competitive pressure), he aids companies in sharpening their focus by asking two basic questions:

1.     What business problem are you looking to solve? and

2.     How will you know when you’ve solved it?

This is the launching pad for further exploration and implementation.
