As such, she knows first-hand the road she is supporting others in traveling as she coaches individuals and organizations in shifting mindsets to achieve racial equity and greater well-being for all.
“Leidene is one of the most intuitive and thoughtful people I’ve ever had the honor of meeting. During conversation, she connects with not only what you are saying, but the feelings that accompany your words, even if it’s a feeling you’re avoiding or haven’t processed fully. She creates a space where you can just be who and where you are, while asking the types of questions and sharing connections that can create a different sense of possibility. I cannot speak highly enough of who Leidene is and what she does.”
