An Award-Winning Curriculum for Your Leaders

Guts & Grace elevated my leadership to a new octave—deepening the way I influence my teams, shape culture, and show up in the moments that matter most. It expanded my capacity, strengthened my boundaries, and helped me lead from a place that feels steady, authentic, and centered. The program has been one of the most meaningful investments I’ve made in my leadership to date.

I couldn't help but think that at my level, I should have learned this stuff before – strong communication, how to listen to my intuition and take care of myself physically and emotionally. But these are still things that we all struggle with as women, and there are not a lot of training programs available that address these issues really well. I am already MUCH more competent as a leader and much more skilled as compared to my peers, having worked with LeeAnn over the past year.

I am especially grateful to this program for giving me a safe space with colleagues to explore my Achilles heel without feeling like it would be held against me in some way. Instead I felt bolstered by my community and very much less alone. This program allowed time for slow and thoughtful development.

I was exactly where I planned to be in my career, but I felt like I wasn’t fulfilling my potential and didn’t know where to go from here. From my first meeting with LeeAnn, things began to shift. LeeAnn’s insightful questions gets right to the heart of the matter and she holds space for your growth with gentle persistence and confident insistence that you can.

If you're the type of person that's looking to make a greater impact in the world, I would highly, highly, highly recommend that you join one of these programs. It's an incredible network of women, of individuals, and I'm sure that there's something that you'll find here that'll benefit you and benefit your future generations.

When I began working with LeeAnn, I was under intense stress—integrating two staff cultures while building a new department. She helped me reconnect with my body, recognize what I was feeling in difficult moments, and respond with grace using breath, centering, movement, and meditation. Through online modules and group and individual coaching, I gained clarity and resilience. Over time, I became calmer and more grounded—and that shift positively transformed my team and leadership.

LeeAnn truly has a unique coaching style that blends mind-body practices with holistic healing. I felt connected to her immediately and deeply supported by her insight. As I faced anxiety and negative thinking spirals in my personal and professional life, she helped me uncover key triggers and develop healthier, more empowering patterns. Through centering practices and a supportive group of inspiring women, my mindset truly began to transform.

The course was not what I was expecting when I heard the words "leadership training." But the value of it exceeded what you get in a more traditional course. ACTIVATE provided the space, time and impetus for me to think about my leadership approach, what its pros and cons are, and what it would take for me to break out of it into my next level.

Before the ACTIVATE Program, I felt like I was drinking from a firehose with work obligations and feeling overwhelmed with how much was on my plate. Through ACTIVATE, I was able to slow down and reflect on my thoughts, feelings and behaviors to see clearly what caused my state of stress. Defining my Core Dilemma and North Star provided a helpful frame for changes I want to make.

The course asked me to be self-reflective, something that gets lost in the daily grind. I found that I had the insight all along, but it took drawing it out for me to realize what's limiting my growth potential. One of the things I found both rewarding and challenging about the course was the embodied practices incorporated. It did challenge me to think differently and was, at times, uncomfortable. Embracing that did lead to more insights and it did enable me to be more vulnerable at work - which I rarely am.
