Welcome to Leadership by Design!

“True leadership unleashes true potential.”    - Marlene Cameron, MBA, CFA, ACC

Marlene Cameron, professional coach and facilitator, and founder of Leadership by Design, is passionate about personal mastery and leadership.  She believes that everyone is a leader in his or her own right.  Leaders become leaders by design - not designation.

Leadership is the courage to pursue and live one’s own values, vision and purpose, and to inspire others to do the same.  Whether you are head of the company or head of the mail department, individuals who bring their passion, integrity and enthusiasm to their roles are leaders in their own right.  Status, position and title are not precursors to leadership; a big picture outlook,  ‘on-purpose’ actions, curiosity and courage are.  Leaders are willing to speak their truth, willing to learn, willing to be wrong and willingly grateful.
