Helping leaders make confident decisions, navigate challenges and create the impact they want to see.
Helping leaders make confident decisions, navigate challenges and create the impact they want to see.
Questions that make you stop and think.
A clearer view when you can't see the way forward.
Confidence to make the calls that matter.
Strategic input when the stakes are high.
Experience and insight that adds real value.
There for you as a leader and beyond.
The more senior you become, the fewer people there are with whom you can be completely open.
Sometimes that's about you. Sometimes it's about the business, the people around you, a team that isn't quite aligned, decisions that aren't being made, or ways of working that are creating more stress than they should.
I help bring people together, align thinking and turn difficult conversations into shared outcomes.
That might mean working with you individually, bringing your leadership team together, or helping you find a better way through something that has become unnecessarily complicated.
The aim is always the same: less friction, greater clarity and everyone moving in the same direction.


My regular catch ups with Lesley are an essential part of my monthly routine. They lift me out of the day to day hurly burly and provide broader perspective, deeper insight and a more objective assessment of my personal performance and business priorities. Lesley’s sage questioning, advice and guidance provides clarity and focus when I can’t see the wood for the trees. She can be challenging when necessary but always with my best interests at heart. She is a superb coach and a lovely human being.
I found Lesley through a LinkedIn search for someone to deliver business skills presentations to members of the ABM, and she’s become so much more than that. Lesley embraced the presenting role and delivered some excellent sessions both online and in person, she received uniformly great feedback from her delegates. But she has also become my business coach – more of a mentor really. She’s someone who is always there to offer support, advice or just a listening ear. My business would not be where it is today, if I hadn’t connected with Lesley.
I run a men’s shirt brand out of Manchester and have been working with Lesley now for several years. Like most businesses, we have gone through ups and downs and Lesley has provided tremendous counsel and support through this journey. She is an excellent listener and has provided insightful and practical feedback on a professional and personal level. Lesley has also connected me to highly impactful professionals from her large network of contacts. Thank you Lesley!
Working with Lesley as our coach in residence has provided the leadership team with a rich, contextually embedded partner with whom they have been able to develop deeper, psychologically safe, and more personalised development conversations. And for the business overall, we have gained a strategic partner who can provide insight and challenge for a position of knowing the business, and the people in it.
Lesley has guided me how to handle challenging situations, giving me tools and advice on a regular basis. She has been a sound board for strategic direction particularly around culture, and has been available at short notice to support crisis such as our devasting fire. Her interactions are always confidential and give me energy which is very precious as a business owner. She is non judgemental and particularly good at meeting people ‘where they are’.
