The Coaching for Performance program provides supervisors and managers with the listening and goal setting skills they need to support and direct their staff. The Coaching program builds cooperation, trust and personal initiative. It can also generate successful systems changes.

Leslie has worked as a coach with companies including Bayer, Phantom Industries and Aamco. The Coaching for Managers program is helpful in empowering employees, ensuring continuous improvements in systems and improving cooperation between co-workers.
