About

Portrait of Catherine Insler, founder of The Manager’s Mind Mapping Company™ — grounded leadership guide and creator of Your Leadership Map™.

Catherine Insler is the founder of The Manager’s Mind Mapping Company™ and creator of the Leadership Mapping™ system — where clarity, care, and confidence become your leadership foundation.

At The Manager’s Mind Mapping Company™, we believe leadership isn’t taught in programs or defined by tests — it’s mapped.

I built this because I’ve been in the seat: responsible for everything, trained for almost nothing. I know what it feels like to lead in the messy middle — where advice fails, pressure builds, and you’re left searching for a way forward.

Why We Exist

We exist to close the gap between responsibility and support

Most new leaders are promoted for their skills, not their leadership. We exist to close that gap

At Your Leadership Map™, we don’t believe in “sink or swim” leadership. We believe in clarity, structure, and human-centered tools that help leaders grow into confident, capable leaders.

Most leadership brands sell advice.
We build alignment.

That makes us different by design — a category of one, rooted in human development, leadership identity, and the quiet power of knowing yourself.

This is not performance coaching.
This is leadership mapping.

YourLeadershipMap.com is where you stop performing and start leading — on your terms, with your tools, in your voice.

What We Do

Our mission comes alive through the Leadership Pathway Explorer™ and Identity Evolution journey

We created the Leadership Pathway Explorer™ to help leaders uncover the pathway they’re already on — and the one they’re ready to grow into.

From there, we guide each leader along the Identity Evolution journey:

  • Discover ($59): Toolkits packed with 10-minute maps for the messy middle moments.

  • Develop (coming soon): Deeper tools to build the leadership capabilities needed for 2030 and beyond.

  • Demonstrate (coming soon): Expanding capacity to influence teams, cultures, and communities.

Who We Help

Whether you’re a first-time manager or a seasoned leader looking to grow with intention, this is for you.
We help leaders:

  • Lead with clarity in high-pressure moments.

  • Build trust without losing themselves.

  • Communicate with grounded confidence.

  • Stop guessing — and start growing on purpose

Our Belief

Your leadership map isn’t something we hand you.
It’s something we uncover with you — so you can lead on your terms, with your tools, in your voice.

Because the leader you are is the map you need.
