I’m not here to tell you how to do your job,

I know you already do it well.

I’m here to rewire how you lead, think, and grow.

As a former retail leader, I know that trying to do it all alone can leave you stretched thin and struggling to make the impact you’re capable of.

You couldn’t care less about abstract leadership theories.

But what you do care about? Building strong teams, finding balance in your career, and achieving results that matter.

That’s why you don’t want textbook advice or a one-size-fits-all solution.

You want a tailored coaching experience that helps you thrive as a leader.

So if you’re looking for a coach who understands retail leadership, can guide you through tough decisions, and help you create a sustainable leadership style: welcome.

Let’s build the career you deserve.

LEARN MORE

I hold an ILM Level 7 Diploma in Senior & Executive Coaching, and I’m an EMCC Senior Practitioner.

But that means nothing without having walked the walk....

My retail career includes extensive time spent leading teams at global brands, including Apple and Mamas & Papas.

My story

For over 15 years, I lived and breathed retail leadership, guiding high-performing teams and navigating the constant demands of the industry.

On the outside, it looked like I was thriving.

But on the inside, I felt numb, always chasing a win and then immediately looking for the next challenge, never taking a moment to reflect or feel fulfilled.

I was caught in the cycle of always needing to do more, constantly pushing myself to deliver without ever asking if the work truly aligned with my values.

I came to understand that leadership isn’t just about hitting targets; it’s about finding meaning in how those targets are achieved.

Now, as a leadership coach, I help senior retail execs find their way out of the same overwhelm I experienced because I know how much better it feels to lead with intention.

How would you explain my work or process to someone who is thinking of doing it?

"Leah will give you a calm and non-judgemental space to open up, where she will then guide you through a conversation that will give you lots of food for thought."
Who would benefit from working with LVS Coaching?

"Somebody at a bit of a crossroads at work or facing barriers in the relationships they hold.
Someone who wants to learn a little bit more about themselves and be challenged to explore the reasons they make certain decisions/feel certain ways about things."
What impact did our sessions have on you?

"I just want to say a huge thank you Leah! You have taught me so much, through your calm and collective manner alone. You provided a really safe space that I felt able to open up in, but also provided me with challenge which I definitely need as a person."
