Mauricio Laguan

I’m Mauricio “Mo” Laguan, a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach and talent development leader who helps individuals, teams, and organizations discover what’s strongest in them — and learn how to use it with intention.

At my core, I believe people do their best work when they understand who they are, how they lead, and how their strengths show up in real moments: decision-making, relationships, conflict, growth, and change. My coaching is grounded, practical, and deeply human. I don’t believe in fixing people — I believe in unlocking clarity, confidence, and momentum through self-awareness.

Professionally, I bring over a decade of experience across talent development, leadership development, and inclusion work in complex organizations. I’ve coached and facilitated with leaders at all levels — from individual contributors navigating their next step, to senior leaders shaping culture and strategy. My background spans corporate, healthcare, and education environments, where I’ve designed and delivered leadership programs, coached leaders through growth and transition, and helped teams build trust, psychological safety, and performance.

As a strengths coach, I specialize in helping clients:

• Understand their CliftonStrengths beyond the report

• Build confidence and language around their natural talents

• Navigate imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and career inflection points

• Lead more effectively through relationships, communication, and influence

• Apply strengths to real goals — career growth, leadership presence, and impact

Clients often tell me they feel seen, challenged, and supported in my coaching. I bring warmth and curiosity, but I also ask thoughtful questions that push people to think more deeply about how they show up and where they want to grow. I’m especially energized by working with people who are reflective, values-driven, and ready to invest in themselves — whether they’re stepping into leadership for the first time or redefining what success looks like in a new season of life.

My approach blends strengths science with lived experience. As a first-generation professional, a leader who has navigated identity, belonging, and ambition, and someone who genuinely loves developing others, I understand how personal and professional growth intersect. Strengths work isn’t just about performance — it’s about alignment, purpose, and sustainable success.

If you’re curious about your strengths, ready to deepen your self-awareness, or looking for a coach who will meet you with both care and clarity, I’d love to work with you.
