creating awesome leaders

Meet Leila, the coach behind Awesome Leader.
FEATURED IN

helping managers navigate transitions

I’ve coached people at all levels — from start-up founders and C-level execs at Fortune 500 companies to first-time team leaders. Before this pandemic, I traveled 100K miles a year, visiting leaders and teams around the world.

I know it can be easier and more fun to be in charge.

It starts with 15 minutes at a time.

20+ years of coaching has taught me . . .

#1. Nobody wants to be a bad leader.

Instead, they dream of being the boss their employees love to work for.

Unfortunately, most people get promoted into bigger titles with more responsibility—and get little to no training or coaching in return.

Some people figure it out—fast. 

And some people fail—fast.

#2. Awesome leaders aren’t born. They’re built.

Leadership isn’t natural for most people. 

It takes hard work, and the training, coaching, and accountability to get to awesome leadership.

And that’s where Awesome Manager comes in. 

In this six-week program, your managers learn how to set goals, delegate, deliver tough feedback and manage up—in lessons that are shorter than 15 minutes.
