I bring my experience as a performer, producer, and talent manager to every stage I host
I started performing professionally at nine years old and went on to build a successful PR and communications agency that booked comedians, songwriters, and festivals all over the country. I’ve spent my life both on the stage and behind it — and I know what separates someone who’s simply speaking from someone who’s commanding the room.
When I began hosting my own women’s events and interviews, I realized something: most people with powerful missions were never taught how to hold the energy of the stage. They had the heart — but not the training or the opportunities. That’s where I come in.
Now, I teach the art and strategy of recognition — blending performance coaching, energetic embodiment, and real-world industry expertise to help people speak with presence, clarity, and confidence that sticks.

take off the costume
The online space produced something nobody asked for: a factory of identical experts. Same aesthetic. Same framework. Same ring-light-and-beige-backdrop performance of authority that audiences have completely stopped believing.
Everybody followed the same playbook. Everybody performed the same version of worthy. And somewhere along the way, the most powerful thing any expert could offer — their actual presence, their actual identity, their actual frequency — got buried under a costume they didn't even know they were wearing.
In this keynote, Leslie dismantles the "luxury costume" — the performed aesthetic of authority that took over stages and feeds — and shows audiences what it actually takes to build presence that converts, trust that compounds, and a reputation that precedes you into rooms you haven't even entered yet.
This is not a gentle nudge. This is a direct conversation about the difference between performing authority and embodying it — and exactly what to do differently starting now that will truly move the needle in their businesses.
A keynote for coaches, entrepreneurs, and experts who are done performing someone else's version of credible.

What You Can Expect With Me On Your Stage
I deliver activation, the kind that moves an audience from inspired to in action.
Guests walk away knowing exactly how to leverage it for media, speaking, and professional recognition.
I weave stories, performance techniques, and strategic insights that help audiences connect with their own power, clarify their message
Every talk is part training, part transformation.
Every event becomes an experience that shifts energy, builds confidence, and leaves people ready to take the next stage in front of them.

as Your Emcee
There’s a big difference between an event that runs and one that flows.
I bring my experience as a performer, producer, and talent manager to every stage I host — transforming your event into a seamless, high-energy experience that keeps audiences awake, engaged, and inspired from start to finish.
But here’s what most people don’t realize:
When an emcee intentionally weaves sponsors, vendors, and partners into the live experience — not as interruptions, but as part of the story — everything changes.
Your sponsors get more meaningful exposure.
Your attendees stay more connected and energized.
Your ROI increases — because when sponsors feel seen and celebrated, they renew, refer, and reinvest.
I don’t just introduce speakers — I amplify the energy, the impact, and your bottom line.
