The Stakes are high.

Your best life is waiting. Let’s get to it.

I’m here to help you 

OWN moving life forward.

Hi, I’m Leigh.

I'm a therapist turned life coach and an expert at helping people navigate change. Clients come to me with unbearable challenges that seem impossible to figure out and leave with a new way of being that they are proud of and empowered by.

I've seen firsthand how change happens faster and easier when clients focus on a vision of their future pulling them forward, instead of outdated stories from their past pushing them.  Each coaching session builds on the next, leaving clients feeling understood, motivated, and realizing the creative ideas and solutions that have been inside them all along.

I am a masters level licensed therapist, a graduate of the CFJ Coaching School and hold a certificate in Spiritual Psychology from The University of Santa Monica. With over 30 years of experience, I'm passionate about helping people make BIG shifts in their lives and move from surviving to thriving.

 INTRODUCING

Good Brink Coaching

A 6 month, 1-1 coaching program that gives you the vision, perspective and tools to navigate change and build a revived life.

Good Brink Coaching is for you if: 

  • You are “on the brink” of a major life change but unsure where to start.

  • You feel called to a new purpose, but are afraid to act.

  • A part of your life (marriage/career/pace of life) feels unfulfilling or intolerable.

  • Something you counted on has failed you. Like witnessing fraud or corruption, a destructive family member, or a mentor failing publicly.

  • A crisis has loomed up (illness, career or legal issues, etc.) and you aren’t coping in a way you admire.

  • You want to make something in your life a whole lot better: health, self-talk, procrastination…you name it.

what COACHING WILL HELP YOU with:

  1. Having clear vision of what your life can be like on the other side of this change.

  2. Learning to use change to catapult your life in an exciting new direction. You will grow and evolve.

  3. Developing a tool kit including coping skills, self-awareness keys, resources and incredible support to navigate this change and any future change

  4. Knowing your coping style and how to use it to navigate most effectively. Relieve charged situations like a master.

How Coaching is delivered

We work either in person, by Zoom or phone.

You’ll have dedicated time to untangle the issue and discover your best solutions.

We’ll go through four simple stages:

1. Cultivate

Tell the whole story

Tell your whole story. Begin getting your bearings and assessing your skills. See some new insights. You’ll come feeling overwhelmed by chaos and leave feeling grounded and knowing you have been deeply heard.

2. Curate

Take stock

Relieve your self-doubt and criticism by taking stock of your inner and outer resources. Let’s start creating a plan with each area covered. You’ll go from feeling lost to seeing a clear path forward.

3. Create

Get your appetite

You are seeing clearly and are ready to start experimenting. You are feeling energized and enthusiastic about the possibilities in your future. You have your appetite for life back!

4. Celebrate

Empowered Direction

Your inspiration is now driving you into empowered direction. You know your strength and courage. You are grateful because this journey has been the best thing that ever happened to you.

How to get started

Book a complementary call with me- let’s talk about the struggles you face and how you can shift things for the better. Finally share with someone your vision of the future you truly want.

The results you will see:

1. What at first seemed impossible is now figured out in a way that supports you. Your crisis is now the very thing you are grateful for.

2. You welcome future life change as you see it as an empowering doorway to a richer, more satisfying life

3. You now TRUST that you can guide yourself through anything with strength, vision, and compassion.

4. You are revitalized and have created a new life that you (and others around you) deeply admire.

Answers to your Questions
KNOW EXPERTISE

  • Word of mouth and referrals are helpful. And the best way to find a coach that matches you is by having an in depth conversation with a coach.

    Talk to several, take your time.

    The best choice usually becomes obvious.

  • While there are several programs that certify for coaches, there is no one governing body that regulates coaching. So “certification” is from that agency alone vs. any national or state standard.

    The best coaches have education, professional experience and additional training (like University of Santa Monica or a coaching school) to hold the coaching connection professionally and consistently. They also love what they do. Their enthusiasm will be contagious.

  • Athletes, actors, politicians, singers all have coaches. Why? Because they want someone to keep them inspired, help them navigate the uncomfortable, stay professional, and motivated to do their best.

    The question is not whether coaching is a luxury…for most clients coaching is an essential part of their business and professional life. The question really is - what is the ending of your story? What is the healthiest way for you to be as you move through your current issue - to a better place? Every time we show up as clearer leaders, more engaged, kinder, and honest, we impact everyone we interact with. The world becomes a better place.

  • Therapy often focuses on learning about who we are by digesting and interpreting the past. Coaching takes that past - the good and bad - and uses it as a catalyst to create a future. It allows the past to be fully acknowledged but doesn’t demand that it limits or controls what you can build for yourself.

    Whether you get a coach or not, you still have to know what you want to create for your future in order to get there.

  • Yes. As you grow and change as a person, you build a toolbox with skills to utilize vs. over-reacting or taking things personally. You have new ways of navigating the good and the less good that life brings. Your toolbox in permanent.

  • Do what exactly on your own?

    Get through the day? Get through your marriage, divorce, or health crisis? How about mastering and growing vs. just getting through? Coaching speeds up growth and adds additional energy, inspiration and guidance beyond what you might have ever had before.

    Ask your friends and family- do they think you could benefit from support?

    Doing it on your own will always be an option you can return to after coaching.

  • Coaching is all about commitment and being ALL IN. Anytime you pay by the session there is an association made with a dollar figure and ONE session, as if each session is a separate entity. That is a false reality. Your coach is someone that surrounds you and your life. There is email support, spot calls, supportive resources to explore, etc. It is a deep layer of support in your life far beyond showing up and just talking. This is an active and engaging partnership that takes place as much outside the session as inside of it.

    What you put into your coaching work is the biggest determining factor as to the value you get out of coaching. Use you coach, read the books, be ready to experiment with doing things that are radically different… but actually easier because they are far more rewarding.

  • Seems too good to be true?

    It is in a way. Most coaches love to coach and a discovery call is a great way to see if client and coach will be a good fit. It is part of the process and a win/win: The client gets deeply served and the coach gets to coach. If you think of it like a shoe store (it is all about the souls right?) not every pair of shoes tried on is expected to be sold. It’s part of the process.

What my clients are saying:

  • “Coach Leigh has made a positive impact on my life. Through coaching, Leigh has helped me navigate my career in healthcare, comedy, and my personal life. Before coaching, I felt overwhelmed, unable to focus, and challenged with time management. I had no idea how it was affecting my life. With the follow-up, the techniques, the time, and the focus, coaching turned my life around. I will continue to be grateful to Leigh”. - Comedian, Executive Director, Healthcare

    Denise Carter

  • “Through working with Leigh, I have untapped higher levels of achievement in several aspects within my life, both personally and professionally. I deeply value the time we have spent together and the complex discussions we’ve shared, which have involved identifying my strengths as well as areas to evaluate more closely. Leigh’s unwavering support and motivation balanced with her radical candor is unmistakably genuine and effective. Leigh has provided me with the courage and clarity to help propel me to higher levels of decision making, understanding, and acceptance. Thank you for your support and partnership”. - Senior Strategist, Google Play

    Faustine Lao

  • “First off I would like to thank Leigh for bringing light into my life. Second I want to acknowledge I did the work - letting go and moving forward was the hardest. But I still accomplished love for myself and valuing the smallest things in my life because, in the end, I need to be happy with myself. Leigh guided me on having a life that is future focused. I couldn’t be healthy in my life the way it was. Now I am moving forward and not looking back. This is a process (letting go of toxic relationships) that still hurts at times, but now I know that I can do what I want and enjoy my life with positivity. As I’m surrounding myself with positive people it’s so true positive things start coming your way. One step at a time. I now am a leader at a company I love and a place I can call home”. - Office Manager, Mission Healthcare.

    Marisol Martinez

  • “What a lifesaver! I was working through so many daily challenges that I was losing sight of what I was aiming for in the first place. Leigh helped me prioritize my challenges and put them in a real perspective, focus on my goals and make them happen. A year down the line and I have a new job better fit for my skills, great relationships with my kids, and an amazing partner. It is so easy to lose your course…Leigh made it easy to remember’. - Senior Executive, Barclay Financial Services

    Rob B.

  • “Coach Leigh is wonderfully approachable and so tuned in to the human spirit! She knows how to bring important aspects of my being to the surface. I feel she is so good at illuminating the issues that are in the way and leading you thoughtfully down the path, thus elevating your spirits while addressing issues – making you the best version of you! It is a gentle rush being in her presence!”

    Jill Kitnick

  • Leigh’s no-nonsense, yet fully non-judgmental approach has been highly effective at bridging both personal and professional challenges for a balanced holistic plan of action. Her methods have allowed me to tackle decades-old root issues and her intuitive and thoughtful intellect continue to propel me toward my full potential. The financial and time investment with Leigh has paid off in spades, and recommend her without reservations to any executive or professional looking to reach the next level! - Investment Banking
