ABOUT US
Learn more about Team Awesome.ABOUT TEAM AWESOME
Team Awesome is bigger than us. It is a transformation of how we lead and what we expect from the culture in which we work. We believe that awesome leaders result in amazing teams. We know there are some incredible leaders and teams that defy odds, and we are doubling down to make sure that you are one of them.
There are a lot of amazing leaders out there that at some point have felt like an outlier. We know what it has been like to feel misunderstood, capable of more, or feel small. We specialize in high-potential leaders who are outliers: the misunderstood potential of Millennials, the quiet strength of introverts, or leaders who have been so successful they don’t realize where they are holding themselves back from even higher levels. This is what you have been searching for. Are you ready to be part of Team Awesome?
KATIE RASOUL – CHIEF AWESOME OFFICER
A NOTE FROM KATIE
Finally, you’ve made it. I am glad you are here.
I love coaching and developing leaders, and it’s been my passion since, well, forever. Think of the impact that one single leader has on the world through the ripple effect of their actions. I can’t wait to help you understand and optimize the effect you have on the world.
I am usually the outlier. I have often found myself to be the youngest person in the board room, the only woman in the group, or the only leader who seems to see things from a different viewpoint. And as a result, I felt small. It is sometimes hard for us to see where we are getting in our way, and giving myself the permission to play bigger (no really, way bigger) was the break through that I needed.
This is the place to feel heard, get out of your own way, and realize the potential that you weren’t allowing yourself to own. We are way too awesome to be playing small, and you were meant for bigger things than a slow death by conference calls.
Let’s get started.

Business is about people. And we are not just going to say that, we are going to do something about it. We believe in taking self-awareness and turning that into action. Your role is being willing and accountable to be your best self as a leader.
We help coach and guide leaders to be the most awesome version of themselves, to be authentic while effective and to create high performing and engaged teams. It’s lonely at the top, and no leader should have to go it alone. Are you ready to be part of Team Awesome?
