YOU FIRST COACHING
Real Women.
Real Results.
Meet the women behind the wins.
I’ve had the absolute privilege of supporting 1000+ women to advance their careers.
The women you’ll hear from below were no longer prepared to stay overlooked, underestimated, or stuck waiting for someone else to recognise their value. They decided it was time to position themselves as the obvious choice for opportunities, promotions, pay rises, and senior leadership roles.
Hear their career acceleration stories firsthand - from navigating redundancy and returning from maternity leave to securing promotions, changing industries, increasing their visibility, and stepping into bigger leadership positions.
These stories represent what’s possible when ambitious women stop playing small, take decisive action, and strategically position themselves for more.
"I was at a point where I knew I wasn't happy and I wanted something different, but I couldn't work out the how. After working with Leanne, I joined a platform law firm as a consultant, 18 months ago now and I'm absolutely loving it.
She helped me straighten everything out in my head, put a plan together, and break the journey down into manageable, less scary chunks.
My stress levels have reduced considerably.
I feel in control."
Clare, Employment Laywer
“I was at board level, being taken for granted, and suddenly the job market had completely changed. I was applying for roles and getting nowhere. Within three months of Accelerate, I had two job offers on the table. I turned one down because I knew it wasn't right for me. I've passed my probation with flying colours, got a salary increase, and completely pivoted my career. I cannot underestimate what a difference it's made.”
Penny, Senior Client Account Manager
I'd sent my 50th job application the day I found Leanne on LinkedIn. I was getting to final interviews and then losing out to someone 'just a bit more experienced.' My confidence had completely gone. A few months later I had two job offers and got to choose between them. But the bigger thing was the confidence. I left every single call thinking, yeah, I can do this. I now have a team of six, I've hired people myself, and I report directly to the founder. I went from not knowing what I was doing wrong to understanding exactly what I'm worth."
Bryony, Head of Retention

"I was made redundant, my confidence was at rock bottom, and I'd never felt so low in a workplace. We had our first session in December. By March I had a temp role. By July, a permanent job offer in a global organisation — a promotion in terms of responsibility. I passed my probation last month and got quite tearful, because it had been such a challenging journey. Honestly, it's the best investment I've ever made."
Angela, Head of Digital
Hiya, I'm Leanne
Creator of Accelerate, the UK’s leading career advancement programme for ambitious, fast-moving, female senior leaders.
I know a thing or two about getting smart women in front of key decision-makers - and making sure those decision-makers walk away thinking “She’s the one.”
I won’t let you play small. I’m a no-nonsense northerner who likes to get things done. I’m not here to stroke ego’s, I'm here to facilitate results. I am not afraid to give you a shove, but will always do it with love.
My approach is a powerful blend of the practical action steps needed to position you as the obvious choice and the inner development work needed to actually believe it.
With over 20 years in senior corporate leadership, I’ve led high-performing teams to success and worked with countless incredible women like you-women with the skills and drive to succeed but lacking a proven strategy that matches their ambition, and the support to make it happen.
I know firsthand the challenges women face in leadership and the pressure to constantly prove yourself- I’ve been there.
I know all about overcommitting, overdelivering and overworking.
The deep desire to make them see that you have got what it takes and that you’re ready for that next step up.
I know about the proving energy and the ‘pick me’ vibes.
And the saying yes to ‘just one more’ stretch opportunity, hoping this will be the one that finally seals the deal and brings the promotion, the pay rise or whatever else has been promised.
Which is why I’m committed to playing my part in closing the gender seniority gap, one amazing leader at a time.
Katie, Customer Services Manager
"Before working with Leanne, I returned from maternity leave feeling like a shadow of my former self with zero confidence or direction. Within weeks, I had a clear career strategy, improved my confidence, and landed a new, higher paid role. I actually managed to bag 3 job offers in a week and even had the guts to negotiate a higher salary"
Julia, Editor
"Leanne was instrumental in me landing my dream job. Thanks to Leanne and the work we did together, I went into my interview feeling calm and confident (a miracle in itself as I normally go to pieces in interviews). The feedback I got was that my interview was ‘perfect’ and I was offered the role. It still feels like a dream."
Clare, Lawyer
"In the months I've worked with Leanne, I've been able to clarify what I wanted and how I was going to get there. I feel in control of my own destiny and my self-confidence has skyrocketed. I'm now in a great place; with a new role I love, building my own future"

Angela, Learning & Development Manager
"After being made redundant and months of searching for work on my own without success- Leanne quickly helped me secure an amazing role, I can’t thank her enough."
Katie, Head of People
"I left a job that I was unhappy in for a long time and quickly built a new life and career I love with the balance I deserve. Why didn’t I find you sooner?!"
Rachael, Head of Finance
"Just 6 weeks in and I already have a job offer! Great salary, bonus and a list of benefits as long as my arm. So glad I invested in expert support"
