Executive Coaching

You are a terrific coach.  You are the perfect balance of right and left brain.  You are  very genuine and completely understood where I was coming from. You provided incredible insight.

Leslie is a wonderful person and is a mentor as well as a coach. She is an effective coach, asking all the right questions on the road to self-discovery.

I left our coaching session feeling more inspired, energized, and revived than I thought possible. It was your last appointment of a long and busy week and you were still doing your very best work. Really, you were masterful.

Leslie asked great questions to get me thinking.  Leslie drew upon her extensive experience and insights to help me formulate approaches and action plans.

Your intuitiveness, professionalism, wisdom and empathy were all a perfect blend for me. You really “got it”, asked the right questions, listened and got me to find the answers within. You gave me hope and vision and encouraged me to reach stretch goals.

You listened with open ears and an open heart. You coached me to honor my emotions, my strengths, my weaknesses and myself. You allowed me to create goals and appreciate them. You guided me to make them happen.

I always left our coaching sessions feeling very good about myself and very positive about the things I needed to change in order to become a better leader.

Leslie was fantastic – adapted to my unique personality very well and encouraged me to challenge myself in great ways.

You are a great coach.  You listen well and are always thoughtful.  You have a deep well of coaching abilities for any scenario.  You will dig deep, pin down specifics, and ask me challenging questions, encouraging me to think and grow.

Leslie’s coaching has been very helpful.  I have a new direction and I feel inspired.”

You are a great coach…very intuitive and insightful. I feel very fortunate to have had you as my coach.

I really enjoyed working with Leslie. I always left the coaching sessions feeling challenged and excited to try new ideas.

You were great. I was a little hesitant at first because I felt like I’d been through it before, and I feel like I’m constantly reflecting, but you are very good at reframing things.

You are a fantastic coach.  You made me think deeply about my goals and actions.

You were a pleasure to work with, there was no fluff here, just worked on the things that we deemed important. Set goals, achieved them or reshaped the path to achieving them.

I had a difficult time in life at one point in our coaching and you told me it was “ok”, it was ok to feel sad, ok to mourn, and just be a human. At work that side is often hard to share as a woman because one can be perceived as weak or distracted, or not professional. However if we forget the human part of work what do we really have? You didn’t forget the human. You were also very good at helping me recognize that I can have many goals and that some goals provide visions for new goals.

You are a great coach; you pushed me to take actions on my goals. You are a great listener and provided valuable input.

Leslie was amazing. I really appreciate her ability to listen and help me refocus my thoughts and goals!

Workshop Facilitation

This was a very interactive training session with active engagement from all participants. Leslie was great; she used great real-world/individual experiences that we could relate to. Overall, it was a very intense session and we covered a lot of great topics.

I enjoyed the leadership development workshop very much. It was clear that Leslie was passionate about her subject and had worked hard to provide the best experience possible.

The group assignments and recap after each interactive activity gave great insights; Leslie’s real-life examples were very relevant and added a lot as well. It’s easy to give generalizations about “best practices” but really connecting it to our current and near-future experiences with concrete examples made it much more valuable.

I recently participated in a leadership team strategic planning workshop facilitated by Leslie, where we worked through resetting our group’s direction and goals.  Leslie’s professionalism was evident in every aspect of her thoughtful process. She was able to quickly understand the underlying issues and ask perceptive and probing questions, which helped us identify key issues and information. She masterfully moved conversation along, keeping us on topic, while still actively listening and respecting each participant’s input. The result was that everyone felt heard and therefore engaged in the process. Under Leslie’s deft guidance, we were able to come away with realistic and concrete action steps.

The leadership development workshop was great.  There was so much useful information that is immediately applicable.

Meeting new people, having a whole energy lift in the room and when we left, confidence and empowerment in our project management abilities, awareness as to how much work goes into project management.

Leslie’s skills and very engaging manner make her a perfect facilitator. Leslie has a lot of excellent insights and gears her workshops to the audience’s needs.

I really enjoyed the leadership development workshop. Leslie got us involved and we participated in many practical exercises. I felt like I got a lot of great tools to use in my everyday
work/personal life from this workshop.

Public Speaking

Leslie definitely embodied leadership in every way.  Truly a powerful presentation.

Very inspiring

Insightful and thought provoking

Dynamic speaker

Great presentation: succinct, clear and very focused.

I valued watching her graceful manner of presentation and leadership. When she presents, it’s almost like watching tai chi or an elegant dance. She has a great flow and a lot of grace.
