CLIENTS WHO HAVE ACHIEVED POSITIVE, LASTING CHANGE
FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR ORGANIZATIONS SAY… 

As I’ve worked with Leslie in one to one and group settings I’ve seen a desire to move below explanations to the place where patterns finally give way to depth and then to the core of what is going on. Leslie is gifted in her ability to synthesize and this gives her a capacity to help leaders and teams see reality —and until we deal with reality, change is only a band aid.
— Jim Moats, Master Chair and Business Advisor, Vistage International
Leslie has a way of getting to the underlying issues and root causes that need to be surfaced when solving business problems. Her diverse background in both organization development as well as business operations allows her to be strong in both theory and practice when working on complex organizational issues.
— Susan Newton, EVP, Medecision
Leslie helped to transform my business and therefore my life with her direct and pointed questions and challenges to think and do things differently. She doesn’t mince words so don’t work with her unless you’re serious about working on yourself and your business and getting it right.
— Clark Potter, Owner, Northwest Fire Systems
Leslie’s ability to speak into my business and my personal life has been fantastic. She helped identify my key business levers and genuinely understand and work on them. If you are open to improvement, Leslie will guide you on a discovery of awareness.
— Jim Herd, Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Herd Freed Hartz
Leslie has provided an essential outside perspective on the growth challenges I face as a leader. Her style is not to lecture but instead to ask both probing and precise questions, and then offer observations, as well as specific potential practical next steps. She has great empathic ability and reads situations accurately and intuitively, as well as possessing a great sensitivity in how she coaches. I recommend her to other leaders coming to terms with the challenges of that role.
— Rob Girling, CoCEO, Artefact
I prefer to call Leslie my teacher. I am enormously grateful to her for her support of my development, both as a CEO, and as a human being. Leslie is deeply intuitive; an exceptional listener, and she has a way of getting to the underlying issues and root causes that need to be surfaced when solving business problems. She challenges me to push myself beyond my comfort zones, and I am becoming a better leader because of her guidance.
— Larry Solomon CEO Pacific Plumbing Supply
