Coaching
A thinking partner when the path isn’t clear.
We all face moments where the stakes are high, when decisions feel complex, and the path forward isn’t clear.
As an International Coaching Federation (ICF) credentialed coach and CDC Certified Divorce Coach®, I am your thinking partner, helping you find clarity, make sound decisions, and move forward with confidence and control.
I work with founders, executives, and professionals, as well as high-achieving mothers in divorce who have been thrown for a loop.
Consulting
20 years building partnerships that pay.
As a marketing and sales consultant with 20 years of experience, I work with senior management teams to develop marketing and sales strategies to secure revenue through major marketing partnerships and grants.
Together, we ensure that each partnership resonates and delivers KPIs to both the partner, grantor, and client. Consulting can be paired with coaching so your team is coached in my proven strategies and techniques throughout the consulting contract.
Over the years, I have worked with Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit, Arcadia Earth Toronto, Canada-Ukraine Foundation, Grease the Musical, Sony Centre for the Performing Arts, The Glenn Gould Prize, Radio City Rockettes, CATS, Canadian Stage Company and Ottawa Chamberfest.

I specialize in working with high-achieving working mothers who have been thrown for a loop. My clients often thought they could have it all, but ended up doing it all, and now feel like they are being left with nothing. I help you pick up the pieces, feel in control again and get your mojo back.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before we speak. Coaching gives you a private, safe place to slow things down, sort through what matters, and make decisions with more clarity and confidence.
Recommendations
Read them allLeslie Ann has been my coach for over 6 months and going. LA was recommended to me as someone who could help me maximize my motivation, confidence, development, and performance in my new start up venture. She has an extraordinary breadth of expertise in a variety of areas, particularly helpful to me are her insights in business, people management, and general problem solving. She has guided and empowered me during the new entrepreneurial phase of my life and has also been able to help me achieve balance in the work, life, and family spheres. LA has the superpower to help me to see the common threads between various events and identify underlying issues that are continuously getting in my way. My favourite thing about LA is that we work together to create action plans to overcome obstacles and achieve my goals. Every call with LA has been instrumental in building the momentum of my professional and personal journey. Lastly, LA has a wonderful sense of humor and disposition, which always makes our sessions fun, in addition to productive. I highly recommend LA to anyone who is wanting to make a meaningful change in their career and/or lifestyle.

Leslie Ann has worked with us on multiple sponsorship, partnerships and government relations projects. She’s smart, hard working and brings success. Probably my favourite was the sponsorship program she brought for us on the musical Cats — “backstage catering by Purina Cat Chow!”

Sara Allan

Leslie Ann and I worked together during a transitional period in my career, and I found my experience incredibly valuable. Her personalized approach and ability to help me draw out my own considerations and values was empowering. I would absolutely recommend working with Leslie Ann through any important time in one’s life.
Derek Fast
Executive Director, Marketing and Communications, The Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity
I had a very productive and supportive experience with Leslie Ann as my coach. We sorted through many options at a critical juncture and her approach was positive, firm yet flexible. Highly recommend.
Celia Smith
CEO at Luminato Festival Toronto
I wholeheartedly recommend coaching with Leslie Ann. My coaching experience has played an extremely positive role in my life and in advancing both lifelong goals and also day-to-day ones. I found the time very well spent. Leslie Ann has been excellent at gently guiding coaching sessions, so I leave each session with a next step or next steps. The coaching has allowed me to explore an issue or problem and then be mindful of what is at the root, work out a new way of seeing it, and, in many instances, a concrete personal step to move forward. I also like that the next steps are ones that I come up with, and so are steps that I am ready for. I have recommended Leslie Ann to a good friend and she has also told me that it is very valuable for her.
Margaret Sims

Leslie Ann is a premier performance coach. She has an unusual ability to listen, stimulate ideation and help organize thoughts and intentions. She has a knack for cutting through the noise and refocusing the mind on key thoughts and connections. Leslie Ann demands accountability and helps with putting in place measurable “bite size” goals. She is results oriented but also works flexibly around the time demands of her clients. All of this is done with a terrific sense of humour and patience. I have come away from every session inspired and with a dynamic game plan in hand. Strongly recommend.

Book a call
Let’s grab a coffee.
The best way to know whether I am the right fit is to book a short conversation with me. I’d love to grab a coffee or jump on a call. We can talk about what is happening, what kind of support you need, my process and whether coaching, consulting, or another next step makes sense.
