Everything I do is carefully customized
for the individual or team in front of me.

No canned process, no one-size-fits-all 'leadership development' programs. The approach and rhythm are based on what you need.

The visible game of business is played on the surface. But it's often won or lost beneath it. For you and your teams, having access to deeper layers of insight, conviction, courage and trust changes the game.  When leaders and teams work to connect at this level, the results can be remarkable. 

You won’t find a laundry list of services here. But with confidentiality, confidence and a positive outlook, this is what we do…

ARE YOU CONFIDENT THAT YOU’RE LEADING YOUR BUSINESS
IN THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY?

Leslie challenges me to push myself beyond my comfort zones, and I am becoming a better leader because of her guidance.

Want to talk? 

Coaching takes two highly-committed people.  I work with people who are serious about stretching themselves to deepen their power and impact.   

My clients come with pressing needs to address challenges and opportunities happening real-time in their worlds.  At some level, they realize they are the key.  In coaching, all we have in the room is you.  Your insight and your capacity are the units of value.  This is the context as you block and tackle your business situation. 

We examine the structure of your role and areas that challenge you to grow professionally.   We look at the people surrounding you, acknowledge their importance, and often enlist their support.

We pay attention to your stories and underlying mindsets.  We all tell ourselves our stories are real - and we’re often wrong.  Shifting them opens important possibilities.

This work unlocks the door for accelerated impact – in your current role, your career and your life.

YOUR LEADERSHIP TEAM
IS YOUR MOST IMPORTANT BUSINESS TOOL.

Leslie is gifted in her ability to synthesize and this gives her a capacity to help leaders and teams see reality.

Have a team in mind that you want to strengthen and support? 

As your team goes, so goes your business, but for many top teams, performance is underrealized. 

Scaling a company or an organization challenges the capacity of your people, particularly the people at the top.  Many clients come in feeling their top team is leaving value on the table. 

With the leader’s sponsorship, I work with teams to strengthen team members’ impact on the business. 
 

BUSINESS LEADERS OFTEN WANT TO PUT THIS WORK OFF,
BUT THE REALITY IS 'PAY ME NOW OR PAY ME LATER.'
 

Can you relate to this?  Managing our teams stretches us as much as any other type of business issue - sometimes more.  These are the people we’re closest to, the ones we’ve worked with longest, the ones we pin our hopes on.  And yet, personalities, blind spots, competing agendas, and poor process, can create major drag. 

Teams scale from only one thing - having the important conversations and grappling with reality together. 
 

Most leaders are committed to developing their team, they just don’t know what this looks like, what their role is as sponsor, or how to begin. 


Working with teams, we get clear on the gap between how the team is functioning now and what’s possible.  We get enough data from the team itself and the surrounding business system to figure out where to plant the flag and what can shift for the team to unlock value. 

We challenge and develop the team with the experiences, tools, and mindsets team members need to do great work together.
