“I met Leila when I was at a really pivotal and transitional point in my career, for the first time feeling that I could benefit from the guidance, advice and support coaching could offer.
Upon completing our first session I was absolutely convinced I was making the right decision, and we set off on an 8 month partnership of regular sessions. Leila has a style that always keeps one eye on the objectives you’ve set yourself, but mixes it with her hugely natural and very personable manner. She really invests in the people she works with – I wasn’t fortunate enough to know her in the media part of her career, but it really feels like she was made to be executive coach. I got a massive amount from our sessions, and having recently achieved the specific objective we were working towards, I can say a huge amount of that positive end result is down to our work together. She comes very highly recommended - thank you, Leila.”

“In the eye of the Covid-lockdown storm I was fortunate to be introduced to and embark upon a journey with Leila; and a true journey it has been. Unlike any previously billed ‘coaching’ hers is a style that challenges all my previous experiences and has joyfully exceeded any expectations.
While evidently knowledgeable in the theoretical discipline it is Leila’s refreshing ability to humanise that knowledge and positively provoke through a mix of tasks, discussion, reflection and focus; creating an at times uncomfortable but powerful energy that you have to act upon.
This is not indulgent ‘where do you want to be in 5 years?’ coaching, This is grown up, ultimately human, dangerously potent, outcomes based coaching.
In summary, a wholly positive experience, quite profound and something I wish I was able to experience some years ago, ces’t la vie.”

“Leila’s abundance of knowledge and positivity has led me to have a most extraordinary first year in an exec position. This was made possible by the belief and confidence that Leila instilled in me with such patience and support.
The first time I worked with Leila was when I stepped up and sat on the exec within my company. A time of great change for myself and the business. Leila was able to help me find solutions to my perceived barriers. I’ve found that by working with Leila she has truly shaped who I am as a leader. She has empowered me to believe in my values and hold onto them as I act as a role model for other female leaders who in turn are empowered to act as role models for their teams.
The second time I worked with Leila was when I’d suffered a dip in confidence with presenting. Presenting had historically been something I would say was a natural strength of mine but three years out with covid and working from home can do wonders to knock your confidence! I realised that Leila’s role here was to reignite my belief in my presenting ability. She did this in spectacular fashion and at the same time was able to provide some helpful tips on ensuring my presenting style went from good to great. Leila had my back the whole way and in the hours before I went on stage sent me the most heart warming of messages to remind me what to do if I have a nervous moment, why I was going to succeed, what I should visualise and who I was doing it for. Leila’s reminded me that coaching yes is about developing oneself but it is just as much about impacting those around you.”
