Meet Theodore “Teddy Bear” Schiele

My name is Theodore “Teddy Bear” Schiele, and I am a veteran, a visionary, and a voice of leadership. As the CEO of Schiele & Associates, I help leaders, teams, and organizations bridge the gap between potential and progress. Whether you’re navigating rapid growth, recalibrating your direction, or building something from the ground up, I’m here as a partner with solutions, not just strategies.

Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!

I’m not just a coach or a consultant—I’m your strategic partner in real-world transformation. Every engagement I undertake is tailored to your needs. We build with intention, lead with integrity, and deliver results that last.

I believe in forging stronger leadership, smarter strategy, and greater impact—helping you master how you lead and elevating how you’re seen. Let’s turn vision into traction. Let’s build what matters.

Guiding Others Through Leadership

My mission is to use what I’ve learned as a leader to empower others. The lessons I gained during my time in the Army taught me the value of service, teamwork, and growth. Today, I extend those lessons beyond military life, helping individuals and organizations build environments that inspire innovation and opportunity.

Leadership is about more than achieving goals—it’s about helping others discover their potential and creating lasting impact. By fostering growth, aligning values with actions, and empowering people to succeed, we can create fulfillment both personally and professionally.

Creator of the Circle of Growth: A Leadership Roadmap (opens in new tab)

At the heart of my work is the Circle of Growth, a revolutionary leadership framework that redefines traditional approaches to success. This transformative methodology integrates personal introspection and professional execution into a unified, dynamic cycle, guiding individuals and organizations toward continuous improvement, resilience, and impactful leadership.

The Circle of Growth is more than a framework; it’s a roadmap for sustainable and meaningful success. Unlike linear models that emphasize isolated achievements, this approach recognizes growth as an evolving process. By aligning vision, values, and mission with actionable strategies, the Circle of Growth fosters adaptability, innovation, and the ability to navigate challenges while inspiring others.
