Working with Leah has helped me understand my own leadership style which has allowed me to lean into the skills I already have as well as work on developing some of those required.
I've particularly found the coaching sessions helpful in determining my priorities and find myself doing less and less of the day to day 'to do' list and more bigger picture thinking and reflecting.
If you're willing to prioritise your sessions within your day to day and enter coaching with an open mind, putting in commitment to do the work, I would highly recommend working with Leah.
Thank you so much Leah for your continued support.
Following a strategic review of the business, we identified the need to reset our Senior Leadership team for the new growth challenges the retail business will face in the coming years. After completion of a comprehensive briefing with Leah, we set out an 18 month plan to phase in both individual and team development plans with Leah for all the senior management team to enable our growth objectives to be delivered.
Through this process, Leah set up individual one to one sessions with all the senior leadership team, identified key areas of development with each one of them and presently working through development plans with them throughout 2024 and 2025. Coupled with this, Leah will be supporting the business with structuring the team to enable them to deliver on both immediate and long term strategical objectives.
In the short term I am seeing immediate benefits with going through this with Leah and confident our long term objectives will be delivered successfully in what will remain a challenging retail environment.
Before meeting with Leah for coaching, I wasn’t sure how, or even if, she could help me. I didn’t know what I needed—just that I wasn’t content, felt like I’d lost direction, and was struggling to balance work and life.
From our very first coaching session, Leah asked all the right questions, putting me at ease and helping me clarify what was important to me. She guided me through identifying my values, which was eye-opening, and it helped to frame my priorities. Like many working parents, I had lost a sense of personal identity, and my priorities had shifted over the years.
One of my most significant breakthroughs was facing the question, ‘What do you do for yourself?’ It made me realise how much I’d neglected my needs and how my work habits (like working late and sacrificing personal time) led to burnout and dissatisfaction. Leah introduced me to practical strategies for time management and overcoming procrastination, like time-blocking and the ‘eat the frog’ method. With Leah’s support, I made small but manageable changes that transformed my work habits, broke my cycle of working late, and improved my productivity.
Working with Leah was like having a personal trainer for my professional and personal growth; she brought a blend of knowledge, accountability, and encouragement that kept me on track. She has an incredible talent for truly listening and then challenging people to consider a different perspective.
Now, I have a clearer vision of what I want from my career, and I no longer see time for myself as a selfish luxury. Leah has genuinely transformed my outlook, and I feel more balanced, motivated, and empowered.
If you are looking for some direction and are ready to make meaningful changes for your own personal or professional development, I’d highly recommend reaching out to Leah and starting that conversation.
When Leah and I connected on LinkedIn, it was clear her expertise was exactly what I needed to succeed with my new business.
My imposter syndrome was out of control, my confidence was extremely low and I would be overthinking and overcomplicating things that would in turn slow down my progress.
Leah’s ability to cut through the noise, positively disrupt my thinking in order to reset, and suggest alternatives is quite honestly, phenomenal.
The results of Leah’s coaching has left me with an enormous feeling of self-belief, the ability to streamline my business strategy and how and where to laser focus, this in turn has generated clients for my business. Leah’s approach also means I often think of a problem and can imagine what Leah would say. That’s an immense impact.
There are stark lessons I’ve learned since starting my own business.
The main one is investing in the RIGHT things upfront.
Not signing up to every networking group, branding and ‘merch’, but investment in your own development through coaching and mentoring.
Leah has been fundamental to my success and I am so pleased I invested in Leah’s program.
I would highly recommend anyone who is starting out, to get in touch with Leah.
I’d encourage those that are established and may feel they need ‘something’, but are not sure where to start, to contact Leah.
I have a close circle of peers I trust with my needs and those of my business, and Leah is one of these.
Thank you for everything, Leah. Keep doing what you’re doing.
Leah delivered an incredibly engaging keynote session on the power of feedback to more than 65 delegates virtually.
It was one of our most well attended sessions and feedback for Leah was 100% positive!
She really knows her stuff and brings it to life in an easy to digest and totally relatable human way.
She is wonderful at gaining the confidence of delegates and bringing them into the session with admirable command.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Leah to anyone, she is incredibly personable and she won't let you down.
I had some coaching with Leah earlier last year. I can honestly say it was so powerful, and I loved it.
At first, I felt really apprehensive, but Leah quickly made me feel at ease allowing me to open up and share.
As she helped me unravel things, she offered me some great observations and called me out on the narrative I was telling myself.
Leah made me realise that I needed to redefine my goals, so they were better aligned to my overall dreams and aspirations.
Up until then, I had been way to narrow in my thinking and thereby not aligning it to my values.
As a result, I have now set out a new plan for 2024 with really clear goals about what I would like to achieve.
I am so excited and can’t wait to started with this in the New Year.
Thanks to the amazing coaching support I am really clear on what I would like to do and how to get there.
Thank you Leah, I am so grateful.
My discovery call with Leah was highly instrumental. I particularly appreciated her candid and selfless approach, as well as her succinct understanding of my situation.
Most of all, the fact that she delivered on her promise:
1. I felt a little more confident than at the start of the call
2. A little clearer about what I'm doing or where I'm going
3. Had clear steps to take after the call.
This, and the last but powerful example about grounding confidence, speak loudly about the concrete help Leah can provide as a coach.
I look forward to implementing her advice and following up on my results and learnings.
I have previously worked as a colleague of Leah's at Apple.
I was inspired by her journey to set up her own company as a professional leadership and career coach and whilst on my own career transition, Leah was amazing support as a coach.
Leah helped me uncover what is important to me and what should be my priority focus to get me there.
I am now working in an exciting new sector for me, in a start-up that will provide my next challenge whilst also letting me do what I love.
Whether you are at a career crossroads or have hit a roadblock in some other way - Leah will ask you the right questions (and the uncomfortable ones!)
If you are looking for a coach, I thoroughly recommend Leah and LVS coaching.
