“Leslie helped me focus on where I should direct my energy in a positive way and empowered me by encouraging me to look at situations from different perspectives. She encouraged, challenged, and motivated me to think and to act differently to effect a change in my outcome. She affirmed the strengths that I already knew I had; but had begun to question. She helped me really drill down to the actual challenge. Leslie helped me see when I was making progress and I continue to use the tools she helped me to create, specific to my needs, to navigate difficult situations and decisions.”
Katherine Taylor, Owner, Private Drive Art
“Executive leadership development coaching with Leslie is time and money well-spent focusing on yourself and your growth. Leslie made talking about struggles so easy. There’s no judgment, but there is accountability, which I needed for sure! Leslie was always present in our conversations and was able to tie back to prior conversations and help me see the big pictures that I was missing.”
Serena C., Director, Capital One
“Through working with Leslie, I became more self-aware in developing leadership presence, learning who I am, where I want to be, how I want to be perceived, and what I can contribute. I gained confidence when working with Leslie as my leadership coach. She encouraged me to move out of my comfort zone, to overcome barriers, to take risks, which allowed me to transform while still true to who I am as a woman leader. I was successfully promoted shortly after working with Leslie.”
Annie Wong, Director, Capital One
