“I’ve worked with Luke over the last number of years and he has significantly assisted me in honing my leadership skills and taking them to the next level. His approach to coaching is both thoughtful and insightful and he has helped me address many of the challenges that come with working in a hyper-growth environment. He has taught me many practical techniques to deal with stress and how to focus on what is most important in the moment and not to be troubled by distractions.”
“I engaged Evolution and Luke after closing a round of financing and at a time when my company needed something different from me as a founder. From the beginning, I appreciated the way Luke honored my many commitments as a founder, a wife and a mother. Luke helped me sort through the tactical pieces — communication within a larger organization and how to manage my days and time. Most importantly, Luke coached me to determine how I wanted to show up as a leader. Through Luke’s “whole person” approach, over six months I uncovered a style that felt effective and authentically mine.”
“Luke has helped me focus, prioritize, and define my role as a leader - and then take it to the next level. To be sure: He acts as a mentor, guide, and coach. But he’s also a neutral confidant; being a founder CEO can be lonely & isolating at times, and I much appreciated his outside perspective and a safe space to develop the skills, and confidence, I needed to be the strong leader I am today.”
