About Crystal Platypus
I founded Verdantu Coaching LLC in 2017, and Crystal Platypus was created as a division of Verdantu in 2022 to focus on leadership coaching, consulting, and team training. At Crystal Platypus, we offer individual and group coaching to leaders and leadership teams who are experiencing a leadership transition, who need leaders to work better together, as well as those who want to evolve their leadership skills and authentic leadership style. Together we build leadership presence, confidence, communications, strategic decision-making and effectiveness so that they and their teams flourish.
The Future of Crystal Platypus
My goal is to support businesses throughout Northwest Indiana, Chicagoland, and the greater Midwest region to empower their leaders – which leads to improved productivity, decreased turnover and culture turnarounds.
Doing Business in Northwest Indiana
While I moved to Indiana for personal reasons, to be closer to family, I see lots of growth opportunities here. I am excited to build partnerships with other local companies and provide access to leadership services closer to home than Chicago. I am enjoying the energy of the area and the warmth and welcome of the people I am meeting.
Why I Joined Northwest Indiana’s Chamber of Commerce
I joined the Chamber because I wanted to meet other business owners and appreciated how active Crossroads is, as well as how much support they offer the businesses and the communities they serve.
