Lesley does amazing work and is great at engaging with employees!
Greg Horn, Chairman of the Board, Tewatohnhi’saktha
Lesley is a fantastic coach. She uses her C-suite expertise and her wide coaching experience to provide specific advice in a clear way. She helps me understand my company’s internal politics and how to navigate successfully through it. She puts light on solutions that I wish someone would have shared with me earlier, to get the best in any situation. I appreciated a lot the truly personalized coaching style not only during the meetings but also between sessions with materials to read or watch. Through my several months of coaching, I discovered and trained on new soft skills to positively impact my professional and personal life.

Veronica Amberg, Associate Director, McGill University
As president of a non-profit organization preparing our strategic plan for the next three years, I was looking for someone to facilitate a cross-functional group in a brainstorming session. Lesley was recommended to me and we could not have found a better facilitator! From the planning sessions, where she posed thoughtful and direct questions that helped shape the brainstorming session, to her focused and timely management of the one-day session itself, and the post-session recap discussion, Lesley’s facilitation skills and expertise in strategic planning were evident. She kept us on point, made sure the right discussions were being had, and helped us derive and develop actionable strategic initiatives that we will carry forward into our strategic plan. I highly recommend Lesley to any organization looking to develop a strategic plan or conduct group brainstorming of any tough or challenging issues.
