Why Empathetic Presence?
Empathy can be tricky if you're focusing on perception. It can mean we defer our expertise, fall into perfectionism, stay silent when we should speak.
But empathy is your strength. It's how we connect deeply and build collective power.
The world doesn't need more Executive Presence, dominant leaders who struggle with actual connection.
The world needs you to align your voice with your values.
I help us use our empathy as the focusing tool it was always meant to be.
This isn't a communication issue:
You communicate perfectly when you're comfortable.
This work isn't about perfecting your voice. It's about liberating it.
Most communication training teaches you to perform confidence.
I teach you how to get present, how to anchor your attention in your body instead of your anxiety, how to use your empathy as a focusing tool instead of a distraction and how to express your expertise without performing.
Presence, not perfection.
That's the shift.
We work together across three pathways:
Embody Your Confidence
Practical tools tailored to your nervous system and your high-stakes moments.
We'll practice breathwork, physical anchors, and grounding techniques in real-time during sessions.
Own Your Expertise
Flexible frameworks designed for your communication challenges.
You'll prepare without over-preparing because the process fits how you actually think and speak.
Leverage Your Empathy
Strategies for your specific situations—from interviews to challenging conversations—so you channel empathy as a focusing tool, not a distraction.
The result is a personalized playbook you can adapt for any communication moment—so you stop over-preparing and start leading with authentic authority.
This isn't generic communication coaching. This is a framework tested by thousands and designed to grow with your leadership.
Hi, I’m Lee.
I've been through the overwhelm, the endless preparation, and the fear that my voice would never be enough.
I was confident doing the work. But the moment I had to talk about myself or present to senior leaders, I'd freeze.
Then I realized: perfectionism was making it impossible for me to be present. The moment I stopped trying to "fix" my voice, I could speak fully and freely.
When I gave my TEDx talk, I had no nerves on stage (and have tools to manage anxiety when it does show up). I’m no longer afraid of speaking up. Most importantly, I trust my voice in every room I enter.
My communication coaching pulls from the work I’ve done with thousands of empathetic leaders over a decade—a proven pathway that combines practical, flexible frameworks with personalized support.
