What people are saying....
She was incredibly warm and welcoming and complementary. Leslie picked up on a lot of things without me being necessarily explicit about them. She talked me through the process and gave me a lot of agency of how to move forward with the coaching process, so I'm very excited!

If you are looking for support, encouragement, clarity... the will to live a daring life, that takes you to the edge of your seat and gives you everything you dream of, then fasten up your spiritual seat belt and take a chance on Leslie. More importantly, take a chance on yourself. Really, if not now, when?

I really felt like Leslie asked the right questions and listened to my answers to get at an actionable plan. It had not occurred to me how aspects of my life outside work might be affecting my satisfaction at work. I feel like she gave me a great plan for getting started in this kick-off session.
