Where real leaders stop performing…and start leading.

At Lant Leadership Coaching, I don’t do quick fixes, corporate platitudes, or flavor-of-the-month leadership hacks.
I develop leaders the old-fashioned way — through honesty, accountability, and the kind of candid conversations that actually move the needle.

I’m Kathleen Lant, CEO, executive coach, People Strategy advisor, and the voice behind Redhead Unfiltered - a podcast and movement dedicated to helping people, leaders and executives reclaim the parts of themselves they’ve muted along the way.

For more than two decades, I’ve coached Executive Leadership Teams, CEOs, and rising talent across industries to get out of their own way, elevate their presence, and lead with clarity, conviction, and emotional intelligence.
Not the performative kind.
The human kind.

My Approach

Leadership development isn’t a one-off workshop or a neatly designed binder that gets shelved. It’s a continuous learning journey and the right guide accelerates that journey dramatically.

I combine decades of HR leadership, executive coaching, and real-world crisis navigation with a coaching philosophy grounded in ICF Core Competencies and evidence-based leadership principles. You’ll get straight talk, smart strategy, and a trusted partner who can see patterns you can’t yet see and ask the questions you’ve been avoiding.

My coaching creates long-term, sustainable change. The kind that sticks long after the training budget resets. No scripts. No jargon for the sake of jargon.
Just honest work that builds confident, capable leaders.

What Clients Count On Me For

• Executive presence without the corporate theatrics
• Identity and reinvention work for leaders in transition
• Team alignment and difficult-conversation navigation
• Emotional intelligence that actually translates to business outcomes
• Leadership clarity when everything feels foggy
• A partner who listens deeply, challenges respectfully, and keeps your feet on the ground

Leadership Today Requires More Than Strategy — It Requires Humanity

Whether you’re navigating a career pivot, executive burnout, fast growth, organizational change, or the quieter internal battles no one sees — you deserve a coach who gets it.

Leaders today are being asked to be decisive, empathetic, strategic, emotionally intelligent, calm under pressure, and visionary — all at the same time.
That’s not realistic without support.

You don’t need another leadership book.
You need a partner who can walk beside you, strip away the noise, and get you back to the leader you were built to be.

If you're ready to lead without the filter… welcome.

This is where your next chapter begins — with clarity, courage, and a coach who isn’t afraid to tell you the truth.
