The common thread?
I would love to share my experience with you in ways that are most relevant and refreshing for you on your personal and professional journey.
For 30 years working in the high technology hardware industry, I rose to a high level of success, responsible for billions of dollars worth of manufacturing each year.
My success was based not on being a technologist (I’m not), but on my desire to be a truly excellent businessperson and leader. I read everything I could get my hands on, and continued learning from mentors, coaches, and authors. I still do that today.
This blend of hands-on business experience – successes AND failures! – and deep study of business and leadership theory and frameworks, is my secret cocktail for excellence.
Reaching high levels of success in male dominated environments, I also felt pushed to conform and to ignore my empathy and intuition at critical moments.
Over time, I learned that being true to my inner voice was the most important element in my success and personal fulfillment. I had to learn how and when to bring that voice forward, how to talk about it and how to protect it.
A Note From Leslie
In early 2024, VHF contracted with Leslie to facilitate key stages of a complex organizational change project. Her work touched every part of our organization. She engaged staff in an inclusive, comprehensive process mapping exercise, and helped us evaluate and select the best solutions (in our case, new accounting and CRM platforms). Her work saved us money, time, and made us a stronger organization top to bottom.
Leslie’s experience, intelligence, and knack for understanding how to get the best out of people make her an extraordinary partner.
so I could better align our mission and values with our board development, staff culture, and core operations. She's been a life-saver as I work to rebuild my small non-profit into something much more effective and mission-aligned.
As an advisor, Leslie helped me to take a step back and better understand how my organization is actually functioning,
Her ability to guide me in thinking more strategically empowered me to approach complex challenges with greater clarity. Through her coaching, I learned how to apply corporate concepts and techniques to a nonprofit setting with more limited resources. Leslie also encouraged my growth by challenging me to explore new alternatives and providing candid, constructive feedback that pushed me to elevate my leadership skills to a new level.
Working with Leslie, I gained valuable insights into both my leadership capacity and my personal growth as a professional.
