I have been working with Leslie for about 5 months, and the sessions have driven some positive change. She possesses a unique ability to view situations from different angles, making her an exceptional conversation partner across a range of topics. Her vast knowledge and passion for self-development are evident, and she constantly introduces insightful concepts that have significantly contributed to my personal growth.
One of the most valuable aspects of working with Leslie is her non-judgmental approach. She creates a safe and supportive environment, allowing me to openly discuss my challenges and aspirations. She has a keen eye for identifying key areas that need attention and she has practical ideas for addressing them. This has been instrumental in helping me achieve my goals.
I highly recommend Leslie to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, empathetic, and effective life coach. Her guidance has truly made a positive impact on my life.

I first encountered Leslie several years ago, as the "bubble lady" at the West End markets, captivating children with her bubbles. Intrigued by her coaching services sign much later, during a particularly challenging and emotionally charged period at work, I felt compelled to reach out. Seeking a confidante who could truly empathise with the unique experiences of a woman of colour, I decided to give Leslie’s sessions a try. This decision led to several more sessions. Leslie’s approach to communication—clear, straightforward, and sincere—made it incredibly easy to confide in her. Conversing with Leslie felt like talking to a longtime friend; she validated my feelings and experiences, offering invaluable advice and guidance when I most needed it. I am profoundly grateful for the support she provided and look forward to the opportunity of working with her again. Thank you, Leslie!

Working with Leslie has been amazing. I have achieved things in my business under her guidance that I never thought possible. I love that she will set a task and hold me accountable without all the toxic positivity whilst at the same time providing coaching in a safe and nurturing environment. I look forward to continuing to work with her.

Working one on one with Leslie has been a game changer. Much of the work I needed was (continues to be) - personal growth. That inner landscape, looking for objectivity and a safe space to discover, grow, implement, create and solidify. Leslie’s approach is unique in the coaching space. And that’s what drew me to her. I’ve continued with her personal development book club - it’s part of what keeps me motivated and growing.

Tthank you so much Venice! It's been great working with you and seeing your progress. Looking forward to more great chats at book club and beyond :) And thanks for the photo!

I am so glad I found Leslie. I had a very bad experience with another life coach who just told me what I wanted to hear, which meant that I got nowhere working with her. But Leslie actually challenged me to see through my own B.S. and make actual, meaningful changes. I really appreciated her gentle, but firm approach (it was like having my own personal Oprah 😆) and also her ability to kick me in the rear while keeping a great sense of humour. With her help, I've become so much better at having a 'no excuses' mindset and keeping the promises I've made to myself. No more self-sabotage! Thanks Leslie 🙏🏻.

Leslie was the exact professional coaching, support and perspective that I needed and wanted. There is more to business - than just motivation. I highly recommend her services

Thank you so much, Dess. And you're right. There is a lot more to business than motivation. Looking forward to checking in with you on your future endeavours 💜

Leslie V. is not just a life coach who really, really knows her stuff. She’s also an incredible community builder and facilitator. I’ve had the pleasure of participating in her monthly (free! accessible! in person and online!) self-help focused book club, as well as participating in her Ignite Your Vision for 2023 workshop, a reflective and goal-setting workshop that was and continues to be extremely beneficial for me as this year progresses.
It can be difficult to discern who in the self-improvement community is actually genuinely invested in helping you grow from those who are more interested in expanding their own brand. Rest assured that Leslie’s work is deeply grounded in tangible, actionable practices, and in finding what works specifically for you.
In my experience, Leslie fosters a space that is compassionate and expansive, curious and inclusive without being undermined by spiritual bypassing or toxic positivity. It’s a breath of fresh air to be able to discuss the intersections of psychology and spirituality in a space that also acknowledges and addresses the very real impacts of systemic oppression.
Basically, Leslie V. is the real deal, and if you’re looking for someone who will help you to actualise the life you want (and/or looking to join a wonderful, supportive, and inclusive book club) then I cannot recommend her and her services highly enough.
I am a regular attendee at the monthly personal development book club that Leslie runs. I have also seen Leslie for a consultation, that I happily won at a raffle at one of the book club sessions! :)
Leslie is an exceptional host of the book club, asking well researched and considered questions of the group, about the books and also about relevant aspects of life in general. She gently encourages participation, without obligation. I thoroughly enjoy and get a lot out of these book club sessions!
In terms of the life coaching consulation, from this, Leslie was instrumental in my decision to commit to a plan to revisit an event in Europe this year, which I think was definitely the best move, as it worked out brilliantly, and I'm very grateful that I made the commitment. So thanks also for that Leslie! :)
In terms of her experience, Leslie is very well read and seems obviously committed to continual self-progression.
Highly recommended, Wooot!
I appreciate Leslie's, intelligence, open-mindedness, and ability to listen deeply. Leslie helps to clarify any challenges or obstacles arising, and offers tools and pragmatic steps to move you forward.
I went to Leslies book club and had a ball. We were talking about Brene’s new work, “Atlas of the Heart”.
I thoroughly enjoy Leslie and the way she facilitates incredible discussions. It’s such a treasure in this day and age to have access to such rich experiences like these.
Thanks Leslie.
Leslie is a coach who epitomizes the growth mindset. She always takes the time to really listen and hear what is really going on, zeroing in on those things within you that are holding you back from actualizing your full potential. She showed me how to develop and grow as a writer and focus on constantly improving by having a realistic (and much less harsh) view of my work. She helped me see that I was holding myself back by seeing my abilities and myself as fixed. She coached me to see criticism and inevitable setbacks as opportunities and stay the course even when I felt discouraged. I realize now, with Leslie's coaching that I just have to start instead of waiting for the perfect piece to put out. Thanks to Leslie my writing career is now a perpetual work in progress instead of just a dream.

I contacted Leslie to help me sort out some personal issues that I was having and she was extremely resourceful and compassionate in helping me sort through my own self judgement and emotions. I highly recommend her!

Awww, thanks :) Looking forward to seeing you at the book club this year!

I have been attending Leslie's book club for some months now and I always enjoy the thoughtful and honest conversations. Leslie is definitely someone who walks the walk and is passionate about her work. Her open communication style is refreshing and I appreciate her ability to bring a new perspective. Atomic Habits and Dare to Lead have been two of my favourite books this year. The exposure to new ideas has helped me follow through on actions, practice gratitude and set clearer boundaries just to name a few. Thank-you Leslie!

Leslie helped me work through a huge decision about a mid-life career change. She helped me see fresh aspects of the situation and identify assumptions that were holding me back. Great listener, professional and down-to-Earth human. Highly recommended.

Leslie is a great coach. I was looking for clarity in a few areas of my life and she helped the process over the course of about 4 months. I recommend her to anyone looking for a coach to navigate life's complexities.

Leslie’s life wisdom inspires all who meet her and her encouragement and personalized coaching brings growth, uniqueness to your sessions and a true life plan to guide you to your better self. Without Leslie’s commitment to my story and my goals, I don’t believe I would be where I am today. Thank you, Leslie for everything!
