As a strategic planner, facilitator and leadership developer, Lesley brings a breadth of multi-sectoral experience coupled with depth in developing and supporting an emotionally-intelligent, results-driven, and people-centered leaders.
The Context: My team recently engaged Lesley to work with us through a challenging change management process, using our commonality as the starting point to build lasting consensus and establish trust between peers and teams. We were once a collection of 4 co-located teams with distinct though intersecting mandates, a tenuous unifying theme, and 4 different languages that did not translate well.
The Result: Through our time with Lesley, our team dynamic is rapidly evolving and what was once a challenge - meaningful engagement - is near-second nature. We now have the tools to collaborate and a common language to communicate.
The Recommendation: If business success, shared values, and/or unified strategy matter to you, then Lesley Calvin should be your first call.

I attended Lesley Calvin’s energy management and emotional intelligence coaching workshop.
The material Lesley delivered helped me immensely.
As someone transitioning into leadership roles professionally, while balancing a young family in my personal life, the material really hit home. It has helped me to navigate through social interactions both personally and professionally.
Lesley’s methods of delivering the material were crucial to its success. She has a way of delivering the
key concepts while making them relatable to our daily lives. It is a very informative, eye opening, and
fun way to either learn these new-to-you concepts, or gain another understanding of them.
I will forever have the tools from her workshop to use throughout my day-to-day life, and look forward
to working with her again!

As a Participant, I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to participate in one of Lesley's workshops. Not only was the content thought-provoking and invaluable as a young leader, but her application of the material and personal energy was top notch.
Easily on par with some of best of development workshops I've attended; I would eagerly recommend her services to anyone looking for personal energy reflection, professional energy development, and/or leadership and career advancement.
Level 7 all the way!
