TESTIMONIALS

"We put two individuals on my leadership team through LEAP Coaching. The idea was to give them the support they needed to make a successful transition from smart and capable individual contributors to effectively leading and managing a team of people for the first time. The impact of the program was evident after just a few months, and by the end of the year, they were already skilled leaders and managers. I wish I did that earlier in my career instead of being left to myself to figure it out.
