At Designed to Lead, we believe people are the foundation of every thriving organization. Our mission is simple: help leaders and companies design pathways that unlock potential, build resilience, and drive long-term success.
Founded by Angela Taylor, a seasoned workforce development strategist and executive coach, Designed to Lead brings three decades of experience across education, IT, oil & gas, and construction to every engagement. From the classroom to the C-suite, Angela has dedicated her career to helping others grow, perform, and lead with confidence.
Angela founded Designed to Lead with a vision: to bridge the gap between organizational goals and human potential. After years leading the Construction Career Collaborative (C3) and consulting with companies across multiple industries, she saw a common need — clarity, structure, and support for leaders at every level.
Today, Designed to Lead partners with businesses and individuals to:
- Develop clear career pathways and training strategies.
- Strengthen leadership pipelines and organizational culture.
- Equip individuals through coaching and personal growth tools.
We don’t just talk about values — we live them in every engagement.
- Generosity: We give freely of our tools, insight, and support.
- Authenticity: We lead with transparency and experience.
- Empowerment: We build your team’s strength, not dependence.
These aren’t buzzwords. They’re the guiding principles behind every project, coaching session, and partnership
