Penny Schlyer
Business and Executive Coach
Businesses run smoothly and grow more quickly when there is a clear vision, mission, and values executed across the organization with a leadership team that is fully engaged and aligned.
I have experienced firsthand what a high-functioning team can do for a business through my 25 years as a global marketing leader developing teams and transforming mindset at companies spanning the Fortune 50 to small and mid-sized businesses across multiple industries.
I established Authentic Impact Business Coaching, a Northwest Indiana FocalPoint franchise to fulfill my mission of helping business leaders in my community achieve higher levels of success and fulfillment.
There is a pattern across companies where a lack of clarity around goals and gaps in leadership are disrupting success. I have enjoyed coaching leaders and their teams to invest in closing these gaps and achieving outstanding results.
Through my coaching practice, I bring experience with all sizes of companies with varying degrees of management, an intense curiosity, a growth mindset, and a collaborative spirit to help my clients get the success they work so hard to achieve - whether that be growing the business, improving team effectiveness, defining and executing a clear strategy, or moving to the next stage.
I will push you to see the big picture to gain value. I will stand side-by-side with you to bring cross-functional teams together to think beyond the bounds of a single issue and develop strategies that yield a broader impact. I will help you tap into the unique talents of your team to maximize their strengths and overcome their weaknesses to achieve personal and professional growth.
I am a graduate of the University of Arizona and Thunderbird Graduate School of International Management, where I studied business and international marketing. When I’m not working, you will find me outside enjoying nature with my family and friends and running or hiking in the beautiful Indiana Dunes.
