Testimonials

Meet to The Client's Response.

Leah is an excellent listener who quickly draws insights from a lot of information and helped me to do the same. She was very good at getting me to recognize and value my accomplishments while also encouraging development and implementation of plans to continue to move forward.

AUBRIE

The session was really easy & conversational, but Leah focused on real core issues & goals though the conversation was wide-ranging. All the insights were truly my own. It was a very rewarding experience!

NEIL

Leah is a great coach! Her gentle and positive approach has helped me gain insights to become better at handling day to day challenges. She encourages me to be the best I can be!

DONNA MARIE

Leah’s unique ability to calmly and lovingly help me to focus on my struggles in a positive way was empowering. She helped me to realize that, just as light dispels darkness, positive affirmations are more galvanizing than my damaging, negative thoughts. Her direction toward a more constructive, optimistic approach is a huge step in the right direction for me!

CANDACE

Leah was excellent in assesing my current state of emotions. As I was feeling a bit anxious about my current tasks at hand i.e. work, kids, household duties, she really heped me to meditate and focus on my ultimate goal which was to be fully present with my family despite what else is going on. It brought me such a wonderful sense of peace that I was able to carry that throughout the day. I am still mindful of my importance of being present and it is something I am constantly working on.

LARISSA

Leah was most valuable by helping me to see the positive side of my current situation so that I feel more excited and up to the challenge of figuring out my next steps. She helped me to see how I allow certain specific fears to hold me back, and helped me better understand and set new goals for my personal growth. I ended the session with some concrete tasks that I believe will help me to figure out my next steps.

ELIZABETH

Leah was able to understand me on a deeper level than even my therapist! And she helped me to think of my issues in a very positive light. I felt that her feedback and ability to articulate my deeper feelings and fears helped me to strategize how to better respond to situations and create opportunities to more authentically live my life.

SALLY Sally Merar Interior Resources

Leah helped me clarify my sense of purpose and how I can best manifest my strengths. She asked insightful questions that helped me see where my thinking was limiting my horizons. She gave me specific strategies to help me flourish in my current position while nurturing my exploration of a new opportunity and giving me the extra support I really needed.

BETSY

Leah helped me to identify root cause, understand my needs, and explore the opportunities for growth. She has an encouraging word to share, an open mind, and a listening ear which allowed me to feel supported while being coached!

JESSICA

After spending one session with Leah, I am speechless at the amount of clarity I was able to gain. I had no idea what to expect going into the session, but Leah asked me to establish some metrics for how I would know if it was time well spent. Not only did I walk away with one of the five items I mentioned, but we hit all five and then some. Our time together has made me rethink the entire way I run my business and who I want to work with. I would highly recommend Leah to anyone who has challenges in either their life, business, or even with their children (the suggested reading list was amazing)!

DEB

 In my first session with Leah, I did get that clarity, but I also got peace, inspiration, and energy– enough so that three days later I am still blazing through work each day more productive than I’ve been in a long time. Leah understands the hidden stresses of being a Founder, not just the obvious ones, and really helped me clear the way to advancing my mission. 10/10 would go again!

Tracey Leads to Success GLobal

As you embark on your journey in life you will need many guides to help navigate the way in order to grow and cultivate success. Leah has truly been an usher of life and vessel in which edification flows. Navigating difficult conversations is a practical endeavor in which Leah helps to clean the mirror of the soul and entice key virtues to unlock truth. Virtues like perspective, truth, humility, and emotional intelligence, just to name a few. My time working with Leah was beneficial and produced otherworldly results. I therefore relinquish my highest recommendation and salute to Leah Zimmerman on a job well done.

Derrick Edmonds Enterprise, LLC

I first met Leah in a group setting outside of her coaching work. I was intrigued by the calm, centered, courageous way she presented herself. I felt the gentle certainty and inner peace she projected. At one point in the conversation, she spoke of a difficult conversation she knew she would be having and said, “That’s OK. I know how to handle difficult conversations.” Even with no information about her background or profession I was compelled to say to her (only half joking!), “Could you teach a class in that?” Her reply: “Actually, that is what I do.”

Well. Having lived a life filled with circumstances that did not include the opportunity to learn any kind of people skills, I jumped at the chance to attend one of Leah’s free workshops. I was sold!

When a student connects with a teacher it is not only the content of the presentation that makes you want to learn more but the teacher’s ability to speak in a language you can understand and their ability to offer tools that are within your reach.

Leah seemed to see the conversation going on in my head and acknowledged my fears before I could finish speaking my “But what if…..?” hesitations. Then gave me ways to reframe my perceptions of each situation that takes the sting out of my interpretation of it.

She clearly demonstrates evidence of her own commitment to the principles she offers her clients and easily adjusts her guidance to the needs of her clients. She has been there. She has made a lifelong study of human behavior.

If you are looking for help understanding how to unravel difficult situations, if you are looking for tools to become a better communicator, Leah Zimmerman is the coach you have been looking for!

Tara

I was honestly feeling a bit nervous going into a DEEP DIVE with Leah today. After a few minutes , we settled into a fluid, continuous and expansive flow. As Leah probed and asked simple direct questions in the gentle way she does, I relaxed and began to uncover, unwrap and more deeply understand how my own mental formulas and self-protective thought-forms may often find themselves in the way of achieving my own true expansion – in my business and in my life, which for me, is the answer to the question, “what do I truly want?”

So in a one hour session, Leah facilitated with me as we created a path of expansion that I know I can follow, with no limits, if I choose to do so. The experience of her coaching was truly transformational, and for her, I am grateful. What a gift!

David

I have been blessed to have a few coaching sessions with her that were absolutely phenomenal and extremely enlightening. I was left with some clear directives and new goals, and a plethora of ideas.

I was initially drawn to Leah because we both believe in developing meaningful connections with others and providing relevant value and services that will make a difference in other’s lives. Leah is always thinking about people she knows and how they might be a great connection for someone else. Overall, she is just a genuine, kind person who truly cares about others. I highly recommend her professional services.

Amanda

If there were an Olympic gold medal for emotional intelligence, Leah would win it.

She understands what makes people tick, what they care about, their hearts, their values, what they need to feel safe and make difficult choices for their own and the good for all. Leah is DNA-level compassionate and wise, a conflict resolution expert who knows how to turn adversaries (individuals or groups) into colleagues and believe it was their idea all along.

Leah applies her skills and diverse lifelong experiences to create real-life solutions when clients thought all was lost. She is dedicated to saving and nurturing the relationships within family-owned businesses that have both love and money at stake. Her soft voice and warm manner partner with her steel will to do what is right, what is kind, and what is necessary even in the most difficult business and personal situations.

Heidi

What a joy it was to work with Leah in a coaching capacity. She brought all of herself into the coaching relationship and gently guided me to my own conclusions and “aha” moments. Not only is Leah an effective coach but also a highly sophisticated communicator.

Beyond her learned expertise, Leah’s EQ and general
temperament is very soothing and uplifting. I highly recommend Leah and her masterful coaching services.

Kimberly

I attended a free virtual leadership workshop hosted by Leah in May, 2020. There was a lot of uncertainty in the world at this time, with coronavirus and civil unrest. Initially, I was seeking a coach to help my mom because she was an entrepreneur, who for the first time in her life, had no work.

After attending another workshop and taking advantage of Leah’s free one-on-one session, I decided that the coaching would be better served for myself, also an entrepreneur. It has been the best decision I’ve made for myself in a very long time.

Before coaching, I was 100% a people pleaser. This attitude was holding me back from reaching my true potential. Through coaching I have been able to clear the path of what others expect from me and am now answering the call to my own expectations. I now have the clarity to be the leader I always envisioned and am navigating my own online business. It isn’t an over-night transformation. The work I do, the work that Leah helps me see needs to be done, is not easy. It takes a conscientious effort every day to practice the techniques learned in coaching. I am 4 months into my coaching and have committed 1 year. I literally count the weeks, because the coaching has been so helpful, I don’t want it to stop. The beauty is in the deadline, however. As in life, nothing lasts forever, so it is essential for me to embrace this year of coaching as a pivot in my professional and personal life to be me, unapologetically and without doubt. Thank you Leah, for being my stepping stool to get there.
