Nancy C - GM @ Nike & Founder, Millennial Executive
"Lesley is a very unique and empowering coach whom every woman should consider working with to unleash her full potential. I met Lesley when I worked with her to craft my founder story authentically. I have always been a storyteller, yet sharing my tale felt daunting until Lesley entered the scene. Her transformative touch not only unveiled my founder's journey but unearthed my empowered self. Lesley reveals the essence of women owning their value in business."

"Lesley has just delivered another great session for us, supporting our Women Business Leaders' Mentoring Programme for the fourth year. 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!"

Rebecca J - VP of Global Sales, Beauty Brand
"I started working with Lesley after a promotion to VP, and a huge cloud of doubt setting in about whether I deserved it. The programme with Lesley was what I best describe at work therapy... it connected the professional parts of me with the personal, and helped me understand how they are all linked. I've learned to focus on what I can control and not to panic over what I can't. And most of all I've started to believe that I not only deserve my seat at the table, but that I am owning it."
EXPERIENCE: 1:1 Empowered Leadership Coaching
KEY RESULT: From imposter syndrome to owning VP role with confidence
Tamara H - President, Input Output (IOHK)
"I was looking to become comfortable with speaking about myself and ultimately my brand. Lesley has a softness, a unique approach to brand that few others have. I interviewed several brand strategist and none of them focused on the individual first. Lesley attends to the individual, she helps you explore who you are, the inner space and from that emerges an understanding of self and ultimately purpose and brand. It was truly a magical experience working with Lesley. Her style and her programme are incredibly unique to Lesley, and there is no one like it out there who has a programme like she has created. She has a rare talent of extracting the true vision of you, from your words and your lessons. She is truly a unique partner in business for anyone looking to show up more authentically in this world.... Having finished Unlock Your Story I feel complete. I feel certain that I know who I am now, which gives me the confidence to approach business with more authenticity. I would describe Unlock Your Story as transcendent. Life changing. Special."

1:1 Transformations & Testimonials
"Personal branding' doesn't begin to explain the work Lesley does in Unlock Your Story - she took me on a deep journey through my varied and at times eclectic career history, helping me to find the unifying threads and understand and articulate what I uniquely offer and where I wish to take my consultancy work next. But perhaps most crucially of all, her deep insights and the process she facilitated rebuilt my resilience and confidence in myself and my offer after some challenging experiences over the last years.”
Emma M - Entrepreneur & Founder

“By the end, I felt the stories we created rang true to me. I was astonished that there seemed to have been a method to my career path all along! Now I've completed the program... I feel like I have a clear path forward for personal branding and marketing for my company. I have a website that is ready to go live! I realized that the validation of others is not what is important. It is my own validation of myself that is important... I increased my LinkedIn followers by 50%, and I have engaged in virtual meetings with multiple potential clients through the interactions I have had on social media.”

“I chose to work with Lesley because of her personality and approach to her work. I was looking to find out who I am as a leader, starting from the essence of myself as a woman, CEO & founder instead of the requirements of the society... I identified precisely who I am, understood my core story and my message to share with the world. It's a great service which allowed me to understand my story and my core brand essence. Working with Lesley is work from within. It empowers and lights the way.”

“Unlock Your Story helps you gain clarity of why you are doing what you doing and what really matters to you. The programme focussed on exploring who you are and who you want to become (and why)... Coming out of this programme with a completed blueprint of your story that is authentic and captures the real you, is amazing. This program is an opportunity to find out who you are, what you stand for and why. Stripping away those pieces of your identity that you create for a corporate facade and homing in on what really matters to you and why.”
