Leah is the most honest, insightful, and thoughtfully probing coach I've encountered (and I've had my share). She intuitively knew how to read me and actively took cues I didn't even realize I was giving, to help me find the honesty within myself that I needed in order to get unstuck on several areas of my personal and professional growth that were limiting me and even impacting relationships in ways I didn't appreciate. We worked together for about 6 months, and we covered a lot of ground. This was due to the fact that there were actions I was held accountable for (both thought exercises and actual writing etc) between each session, which made the 6 months really feel like a continuous journey in which I was prioritizing some areas of my growth that were put on the backburner for years. I can confidently say that I am a more honest, intentional, and at-peace version of myself post-Leah, and for this I'm eternally grateful.

I’ve been meaning to simply thank you. I think it to myself often and always forget to say it because I’m excited to jump into our sessions. I genuinely feel so much progress in the work we do, far beyond what I was hoping for when looking for a coach. I told Brett the other day, I never would have finished my book by now if we weren’t working together. Thanks for being such a wonderful listener and guide. Literally life changing 🤯

I am just no longer the person I was when I started coaching...I completely changed and transformed. All my life I’ve felt like I needed to live by someone else’s rules and hide myself. Through working with Leah, I got very clear on who I am and what I want in life. As a result, I love my life so much more. I feel so much more vibrant, confident and creative. I never thought I would be living this type of life at my age. I thought it would take me decades to get here. I changed my career from PM to starting my business and coaching. I discovered my love for music and a main source of joy in my life. I’m learning to be more at ease and flow listening to myself, which is a huge relief and a different way of being. Leah has a unique ability to be in tune with humans. She can effortlessly clean out that blob of mess in your head, organize them into problems and show you where the solution is. She is kind and keeps you accountable at the same time. I cannot recommend her enough!

I always thought coaching was whack, but I do see truth in it. You allowed me 3 months to get uncomfortable to be comfortable. I'm sitting in my shit; addressing the things I need to work on. It was painfully pleasant. It was challenging - not a walk in the park. It made me accountable for my shit. Being as powerful and strong as I am, I don’t get a lot of pushback. It was good to have that. I felt I was continuously in a safe space. I could share and say whatever I wanted to say and there would be no judgment. That’s always huge. Check her out. She’s good. Would I recommend her? Hell yes!

As a solopreneur, I felt so lucky when I found Leah. She was a great listener and thoughtfully guided me along the path I needed to achieve some challenging next steps in preparation for growing my small education business. When I found her, I was overwhelmed and didn't know what to prioritize or how to organize the many aspects of my business. Leah was able to quickly help me sort out the pieces and gently guided me along the way, so that I could take the steps I needed to launch new packages and up-level.

Leah’s my go-to for processing the many complex thoughts that can stack up in my head. Her brain soothes my brain. It’s her superpower: she absorbs my word vomit and reflects back definition and clarity. And she doesn’t miss a thing. Leah catches every thread, whether it’s personal or professional, and makes sure we find where they lead, even when it means strategically tabling something for later. The gift of speaking with her regularly over time means she can remind me of my patterns and hold me accountable to being myself. She helps me see both the past and the present with piercing clarity, which means I can make hard decisions with conviction. She keeps me honest, she grounds me. It’s simultaneously comforting and challenging, in the best way.

“As a creative entrepreneur, I’m very go-go do-the-damn-thing without always fully processing. I’m not always looking inward or multiple steps ahead. Leah helps me assess things in ways I never would have thought of. She helps us grow the business thoughtfully, in-line with our values and goals. She is incredible at clarifying what’s important and the steps or processes to get there. She considers small details and big ideas at the same time, which is a skill that is rare. She understands what running a company means on so many different levels. People always want to do it all. But at the end of the day you need to seek help for the things you lack. Leah has an incredible skill set that I hope more people benefit from. ”

“Unlike other coaching I’ve experienced, working with Leah leads to deeper realizations that create a sticky kind of behavior change. When Leah asked what I wanted out of coaching, I said, “I don’t want to fail. I want to launch a successful business.” Through a series of hard questions, nudges and thought exercises, Leah helped me see key things that I needed to be aware of in myself:
1. I prioritize others over myself, even when it’s not strategic.
2. I don’t value planning and challenging assumptions enough, because it feels like backtracking.
3. I loose momentum when I tie my self-worth to the ups and downs of running a business.
Leah is like a board member without a personal agenda. She helps me evaluate the business holistically, while growing my self-awareness, confidence and well-being.”

Coaching came to me when I was truly in need of guidance. I was looking to be saved from drowning in an overflow of work, disorganization and tension with some colleagues. What I discovered in this process was the power of self reflection, and a journey inward to look at my core values of who I am. This not only enabled me to help myself out of my previous work situation, but also look forward into the future dream of who I want to be.

Leah is an excellent PM leader as well as an amazing mentor and coach. She supported me in my career transition, moving from UX research to product management. She taught me everything I needed to know about shipping great products. Aside from PM mentorship, she's also been my "work therapist" for years. Leah takes all of my jumbled up thoughts and completely detangles them. She not only helps me achieve my goals, but she also helps me figure out what they are. I leave every single one of our sessions feeling clear minded, lighter, and ready to tackle the next challenge.
