Our Leadership Model

Blueprint Leadership: God’s Design activates leaders in three core dimensions: Strategic Impact, Operational Excellence, and Relational Proficiency.

Our biblical blueprint strengthens leaders at the personal, team, and organizational levels.

We equip leaders to infuse Kingdom culture into the marketplace in alignment with heaven’s mandate.

Client Testimonials

On average, our clients stick with us for 3.5 years—and we’re proud of every moment.

  • "Diane and the Blueprint team blew us away. We are a very science oriented company and have numerous team members who need data and metrics to support these types of programs. Diane's ability to synthesize the various individual assessments and connect them to team behaviors was essential to the transformation of our team. They listened to our needs, prepared a program to focus on the organizational challenges we had and delivered a solid three days that not only helped create inertia for transformational changes in our organization, but also had a profound impact at the personal level as well."

    Ronnie Andrews - Serial CEO

  • "Diane is a master at generating a safe and honoring learning environment, which enables team members to bring their authentic self forward and discuss real issues and opportunities.

    Mike Pellini - CEO at Foundation Medicine

  • "We here at Clarient Pathology Services hired Diane and her team to help us do a talent assessment of each member of our 16 Pathologist group. I found Diane to be professional, compassionate, understanding, bright and a pleasure to work with. The materials she used were perfect for the task. They were complete, detailed but not overbearing, and easy to understand with very helpful charts and graphs to effectively convey the point. It was amazing how accurate the assessment was, at least in my case as my wife is a witness! She took the time to work with each individual, making sure that they understood the results of the assessment. She made the work fun and interesting. This is money well spent!"

    Dr. John Glassco - M.D. COO at Clarient Pathology Services

  • "Thank you for the great workshop. Our team really appreciated the balance between presentation and discussion, and your courage in forcing us to communicate a deeper level than most leadership training experiences allow! Talent Journey's assessment is great and enabled us to value each other's strengths and understand where to leverage other team members. All of this, plus the coaching, brought our team to a higher level of cohesion and performance. We look forward to our next time together."

    Kweli Thompson - Vice President, Global Marketing at Medtronic

  • "Over the years, Diane supported me and my engineering teams in a variety of roles, including as an HR expert, training and development guru and as a consultant to the business.

The Inner Compass: 

14 Leadership Secrets to Finding Your True North

Many leaders lead by what they do. The best leaders also lead by who they are. In The Inner Compass, author, coach, and leadership expert Diane Kucala explains and illustrates fourteen character traits found in the best leaders. Each chapter is powerfully and simply written with busy professionals in mind to equip them to take their leadership to the highest level. Each page reveals transformational mindsets, including:

  • The true power of leadership starts with the character of the leader

  • Even people of character make mistakes, but having character means they can always get pointed in the right direction again

  • Leaders of character inspire those around them to contribute their best, which brings greater results, happier workplaces, and increased possibilities for the future

  • There are many examples of leaders with character, despite the common reputation business leaders have and many more!

The Inner Compass is a resource you will return to for years, reminding you of what is possible for leaders with character. Using this book as a practical guide, your business and leadership will experience radical transformation.

Most importantly, The Inner Compass will become just that—inward character traits you truly possess, not simply more tricks or tips you have to remember. These will become part of who you are, helping you always stay aligned with your True North.
