You’re great at solving complex technical problems.

But people issues are a whole different game.

At Clausen Consulting, we help leaders develop the skills to solve people issues as effectively as they solve technical ones.
Because when your people work better together, everything gets better — productivity, retention, and your own peace of mind.

You didn’t get into a STEM career to manage drama, miscommunication, or team tension, but here you are.

You’re in a leadership position because you’re smart, skilled, logical, and you get things done. But no one handed you a manual on how to deal with people’s emotions.

And now, instead of code or systems, you're facing:
🔹 Vague, confusing communication
🔹 Unspoken conflict that explodes at the worst possible times 🔹 Younger generations who do best with personalized support — but whose needs can disrupt your workflow
🔹 Team inefficiencies that burn your time
🔹 The sting of losing strong team members — especially the ones you’ve invested in

If any of that sounds familiar, you're not alone. And you're not failing, you're just leading without the right tools and support.
