About Tyler Clapp

Helping leaders navigate the in-between - when the rules change and proven approaches stop working

When I became a people leader, I got zero help and had to just "figure it out." After over 15 years at Volkswagen Group coaching leaders through transitions, I realized: many leaders don't get the support they really need. That's why I created the Get Clear → Be Clear → Make Impact framework - not from theory, but from living it myself.

A Coach Who Became His Own Client

I bring the unique perspective of someone who taught leadership development for 15 years at a Fortune 500 company, then had to apply my own framework when transitioning to business ownership. Your audience gets both the expert AND the person who lived the struggle.

Actionable Framework

I deliver a clear, memorable framework (Get Clear → Be Clear → Make Impact) your listeners can apply immediately to navigate their own transitions with more clarity and confidence.

Credible Expertise

I bring 15 years of leadership development experience at Volkswagen Group grounded in psychology and neuroscience - plus the humility of someone who's struggled through transitions themselves.

Engaging, Relatable Stories

I bring real-world leadership transitions to life through personal experiences your audience will connect with - from getting zero help as a first-time leader to coaching hundreds at VW to navigating my own "promotion hangover."
