Meet Leslie
Leslie works with executives, rising leaders, and public figures who want to speak with clarity and confidence in a way that aligns with their expertise and success.
Her coaching goes beyond surface-level techniques, helping clients refine their natural speaking style so they project authority, credibility, and authenticity, whether addressing a boardroom, delivering a keynote, or leading a high-stakes conversation. Rather than conforming to a rigid standard, Leslie helps professionals enhance their vocal presence and clarity while staying true to their unique voice, ensuring their message resonates with any audience.
BOOK LESLIEHear from my clients:
My goals were met and then some! Working with Leslie was such a positive experience; even the way I say my name is different now! I loved learning to give each thought its own space, that has helped me calm my mind and deliver more effectively when speaking to a group or to my team. I have also learned, on a physical level, the importance of breath control for clear speech.  I speak to a lot of people in my line of work and I am more confident in what I have to say and how I say it. Leslie is terrific and I am so glad I was referred to her.

I am very pleased with my progress. I am truly grateful for the time, energy, and expertise that Leslie Gordon invested in me. Throughout the coaching process, Leslie demonstrated a remarkable ability to identify my strengths and areas for improvement. Her insightful feedback, constructive criticism, and tailored strategies significantly contributed to my growth as a speaker. Her patience, encouragement, and belief in my potential enabled me to push past my limitations and explore new horizons in public speaking.

I highly recommend Leslie Gordon as a speech, voice, and professional presentation coach. Leslie's expertise, grounded in her linguistics background, is matched by her genuine commitment to understanding each client’s unique goals. She customizes her approach to suit individual needs, which has been invaluable to me in recognizing and adjusting my own rhythm of speech. Over the years people have told me that I have a tendency of speaking too quickly, but with Leslie's guidance, I've learned effective techniques to not only improve my pacing but to become a more thoughtful and impactful communicator and presenter.
Tomás R., School District Director
After a few sessions with Leslie, I noticed tremendous growth and improvement in my presentation effectiveness and confidence. She took specific interest in making sure I was in the right frame of mind to deliver my presentation. She checked in on me few minutes before my presentation and everything went very well! Additionally, the presentation was part of a speaking competition, and I placed among the top 3 speakers! From terrified to Top 3! I recommend Leslie highly to anyone looking to transform their speaking and presenting.Â
