Turn problems into possibilities
I help leaders find their own brilliance, see the possibilities within every challenge, and bring out the best in others.
My Approach
What I do
I serve as a collaborative sounding board, helping you build the frameworks to think differently and turn abstract problems into concrete solutions. My focus is on helping you make courageous choices and become the calm in any situation.
Who I help
I work with senior individual contributors and people managers (first and second level) in tech, particularly those in design, content, and product management. I help them grow not only their own careers, but also elevate their teams to become brilliant.
Why I’m unique
My 32 years of experience as a leader in Silicon Valley, helping my teams navigate countless layoffs, reorgs, and boom and bust cycles—gives me a unique perspective. I’m hard to shock, because I’ve seen everything.
About me
Here's a little secret: the most effective leaders you know are probably being coached.

What Clients are Saying
"I’ve recently started working with leadership coach Lesley Kew to help me get out of my own way and unlock my full potential as a leader.
In just 6 weeks we’ve identified some of my bad habits and how I can change to more effectively lead my (very) high-performing team.
I feel lighter having identified what’s been getting in my way. If you need someone to hold a mirror up for you and help you do the same, I highly recommend Lesley!"

"I have been surprised more than once that some of your gentlest questions have prompted the biggest insights. I’ve learned that I am more insightful than I give myself credit for. I’ve learned how much stronger I am than I think I am."
