A bit about me

Hi, I’m Leezá
Each of us carries a unique color in the human landscape — we are vital, and at our core, we are good. Yet most of us have been sold a story that says otherwise… that we’re not enough, that something’s wrong with us, that we don’t truly belong.
The truth is the opposite.
When you unravel those false assumptions, you reclaim your freedom — to bring your full potential to your work, to build relationships that nourish, to live your whole self openly, without apology.
This is my why. It’s why I love the work I do.
There’s no shortcut to loving who you are or bringing your full excellence forward. No product, no quick fix will get you there. I know — I’ve had to walk that road myself.
Becoming who you long to be is not only possible — it’s stunningly real. My own journey is the reason I do this work. The processes you’ll find here aren’t theory; they are the very ones that set me on my own path of self-realization and fullest potential.
I have lived through fire:
— from a childhood marked by violence into a loving, healed relationship with the father who caused it,
— from betrayal and financial devastation in a 26-year marriage into peace and equanimity,
— from the grief of losing my fiancé into profound healing and gratitude.
Because of that, I don’t believe in these tools — I know them. I’ve tested every concept and every practice in the harshest places a life can go.
These proven practices help you dismantle limiting beliefs, end self-sabotage, dissolve judgment, and rewrite the narrative of who you are. To live with grounded confidence and ease — no matter your circumstances — is possible.
I know, because I’m living it.
Both my walk and my work are rooted in respect, understanding, kindness, and intentionality.
As a relationship-based leadership coach, my foundation was formed during seven years supporting Dr. Natalie Rogers — daughter and colleague of Carl Rogers — in person-centered trainings across Europe. That experience rooted me in humanistic psychology and a deep respect for the human heart, healing, and the power of our interactions.
Decades of living and working abroad shaped me as an international consultant with lived experience in diversity, equity, and inclusion across cultures and systems. Through certifications and leading complex initiatives in corporations, schools, public institutions, and nonprofits, I refined strategic thinking, crisis transformation, and essential communication practices.
I’ve served as an Executive Coach with the Forbes Coaches Council, worked as a Tony Robbins Results Coach, and host the public TV series Live With Leezá. My credentials include certifications as an ICF Executive and Life Coach, Mediator, Trainer & Group Facilitator, Bohm Dialogue Facilitator, and Nonviolent Communication Trainer. With a degree in Business Management, CORE Success™ is where all of this work meets its purpose.
This work asks for honesty — the kind that gives you back your self-respect, your confidence, your ease.
My clients learn to use the real “soft” skills — the hard ones — to communicate clearly, lead through relationship, and think in systems, not silos. In every role, in every room.
For over 20 years, across more than 35 cultures, I’ve supported individuals, families, organizations, and public leaders in recognizing their worth, charting their path, and achieving results that once seemed out of reach.
Clients like UNESCO, Lufthansa, Nike, Alpha Industries, U.S. Senators, Jack Canfield, and the State of Oregon have trusted this work — not for polishing personas, but for transformation that lasts.
All of that to say: it would be an honor to meet you, to understand what you’re truly reaching for, and to walk with you as you create the work you love — and the life you want to live in.
How can I support you?
With respect
Our Indigenous elders — and the wisdom taught on the native path — have become my teachers. I listen, I follow, and I do my best to live what I learn. Whatever wisdom or kindness I offer comes from that commitment: to Spirit, to nature, and to all our relations.
I have the honor to call home the ancestral, stewarded, and unceded lands of the Multnomah, Tualatin, and Clackamas peoples.
