Empower Your Teams
Through Personal Branding
& Authentic Leadership
From inspiring workshops to transformational leadership programmes; building confidence, visibility, and authentic leadership in your organisation.
How I Support Organisations
I partner with corporate organisations to deliver inspiring, transformational experiences that empower your people to step into their full potential; whether through one-time keynotes, masterclasses and workshops, 1:1 coaching or comprehensive leadership programs.
What Organisations Ask Me For:
Workshops & Speaking
Personal Branding Workshops & Talks
Inspiring Talks for Female Leadership
Talent Development Integration
Leadership Development ProgrammesElevate: 6 Month Leadership Visibility Programme
Leadership Retreats
Unlock Your Story - Corporate Retainer
Empowered Leadership 1:1 Coaching
Custom multi-session programmes: i.e. The Empowered Woman Leadership Series (Reward Gateway)
Invest in Your Leadership Team with Ongoing Transformation
For organisations ready to make a deeper investment in their leaders' development, I offer comprehensive leadership programmes; from intensive 6 month transformations to flexible retainer structures.
Rather than one-time workshops, retainers provide your leadership team with comprehensive support to build an authentic leadership story and personal brand, overcome imposter syndrome, and step into their full leadership potential.
Elevate: Leadership Visibility Programme
6-month development programme for leaders stepping into bigger roles
A comprehensive coaching programme specifically designed for corporate leaders navigating transitions, stepping into new roles, or elevating to the next level of leadership.
Combining the principles of personal branding and developing your leadership story, with ongoing strategic coaching, this programme helps leaders build authentic visibility, executive presence, and lasting confidence as they navigate their new level of leadership.
Features a bespoke VIP Strategy Day alongside bi-weekly coaching sessions throughout the 6 months.
Perfect For:
Leaders transitioning into senior or more visible roles
High-potential leaders being prepared for the next level
New executives who need to establish their leadership presence
Leaders navigating organisational change or transformation
Anyone stepping into a role that requires greater visibility and influence
What Makes This Different: This isn't surface-level executive coaching. It's deep transformation work that addresses both the strategic challenges leaders face and the internal barriers; like imposter syndrome and limiting beliefs, that can hold them back from their full potential.
Leaders develop their authentic leadership story, build visibility strategies tailored to corporate environments, and receive ongoing support as they implement and grow into their new identity.
Leadership Retreats & VIP Experiences
Immersive transformation experiences designed for your needs
For leaders who want to step away from the everyday and invest in deep, focused transformation work - whether that's a strategic intensive, brand development retreat, or restorative leadership experience.

Bespoke Design: Every retreat is tailored to your specific needs - from half-day intensives to multi-day transformational experiences, at a venue that serves your goals.
Unlock Your Story - Corporate Retainer
6-week Personal Branding intensive for your leadership team

What Organisations Have To Say
What my clients say…
Santander UK - A 6+ Year Partnership
Lynne Robertson Enterprise Education & Insight Lead, Santander Breakthrough
"Lesley has just delivered another great session for us, supporting our Women Business Leaders' Mentoring Programme. As always she captures the ethos behind what we do and why we do it, and it's great to see the immediate impact her sessions have on our delegates. If you're looking for someone to deliver more than simply a nuts and bolts session I'd suggest you speak to Lesley, she brings topics like marketing to life with the science as well as the practical application. Love working with you Lesley!"

Santander UK Women Business Leaders Program
Maria O’Regan, Santander WBL Program Lead
“I don't know anyone else who does what you do in the way that you do it. And that's why we love working with you.”

Reward Gateway - The Empowered Woman Series
Jemella Hanson Global DE&I and Learning & Development Manager
"I was introduced to Lesley, first through her detailed proposal for the business, and was automatically struck by how relatable she was, and her own empowerment journey; I find it is always easier to visualise the impact something will have if you can see yourself in the facilitator. The planning and scoping of The Empowered Woman Leadership Series sessions were an indication of what was to come, as I left every one of them feeling inspired, revitalised and ready to take on the world. The sessions themselves were powerful (even virtually), the meditation exercise provided an introspective reflection of my journey and how to be kinder to myself."
KEY RESULT: Bespoke series delivered globally with lasting transformation
Santander UK Women Business Leaders Program
Susan Davies, Santander Head of Business Banking Relationship Management
“At Santander, we are proud to support female entrepreneurs and give them access to support and networks that help build confidence and resilience. Thank you to our partner Lesley Stonier, who delivered a powerful Find Your Voice Workshop.”
KEY RESULT: Live in person workshops delivered across the UK, Jersey & Isle of Man
UK Foreign Office - Large-Scale Impact
Annika Burke Economist, UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office
"Lesley ran a one hour workshop for the women's network at the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) on 'Why Femininity is Your Superpower'. Over 250 women came to the event and really enjoyed the content! Lesley encouraged participants to think about how they can draw on feminine energy to build their confidence and move out of their comfort zone. The women were really engaged in the chat and afterwards asked if we can have more inspiring workshops like this one!"
KEY RESULT: 250+ women engaged and empowered in single session
Girls In Tech Conference - Inspiration & Interactivity
Adriana Gascoigne, Founder Girls In Tech
"Lesley shined on the Girls in Tech stage, delivering an impactful speech on the art of storytelling for startup success, charged with a high dose of inspiration. Lesley not only shared a number of helpful tips on how to create and tell stories to supercharge our businesses and personal brands, but also motivated attendees to embrace their uniqueness, overcome their fears, and share their stories with the world."

Common themes: "inspiring," "practical," "relatable," "empowering," "I left ready to take action." Organisations report immediate visible shifts in confidence and engagement.
