Express Yourself in Every Room & Zoom
Join my free monthly lab to practice presence, not perfection
Have you ever caught yourself in one of these patterns?
Over-preparing for every meeting, scripting out exactly what you'll say
Speaking too quickly or rambling when you're nervous
Downplaying your expertise with phrases like "I'm not sure if this is right, but..."
Feeling your mind go blank when put on the spot by senior leaders
Obsessing over how you're being perceived rather than being fully present
What makes these patterns so frustrating is that they create a vicious cycle:
The more you worry about how you're coming across, the less present you become.
The less present you are, the less confident you feel. The less confident you feel, the more you worry about how you're coming across.
Breaking this cycle requires more than just communication tips—it requires a fundamentally different approach to presence.
The Empathetic Presence Practice Lab: Practical Tools to Lead with Influence and Inclusion
Join my free monthly lab to practice Empathetic Presence
In each lab, you’ll learn:
Why perfectionism makes it impossible to be present (and what to focus on instead)
A science-backed technique to regulate your nervous system before and during high-stakes conversations
How to leverage your empathy as a strength rather than seeing it as a liability
A simple framework to organize your thoughts quickly when asked unexpected questions
What to Expect
Each month, I share tools to practice as a group and to help you express yourself with more ease and less effort.
When you come:
You'll never be put on the spot.
You can always just watch.
You'll in full control of how you participate.

We listen with curiosity and respect and make space for voices who have less power and privilege
We are committed to anti-racism and gender diversity and to centering those most impacted by oppression and marginalization
We work to prioritize our own comfort and physical needs rather than how we’re perceived (feel free to eat, leave your camera off, go to the bathroom, bring your kids, etc.)
We promise to keep everything shared in the Collective confidential
We strive for presence over perfection
These agreements are non-negotiable. I am here to answer any questions or share resources to support you feeling safe and supported in the space.
Hey, I’m Lee
I never saw myself as an expert.
I was confident doing the work itself, but the moment I had to talk about the work (or myself) I’d get shy and my mind would go blank. I thought I had nothing interesting to say.
But then I realized that perfectionism was making it impossible for me to be present. The moment I stopped trying to “fix” my voice, I could articulate myself fully and freely.
I’ve spent the past 10+ years helping thousands of empathetic leaders build true presence, so that they can lead at the highest levels.
Why am I offering this for free?
Because I believe empathetic leaders like you are exactly who we need in positions of influence and authority, especially right now.
And I've seen how these practical tools can help you expand your impact without changing who you are.
Space is limited to ensure time to answer all of your questions, so secure your spot today:
The Empathetic Presence Approach
This work will give you the tools and strategy to harness your greatest strength—your empathy—to lead with inclusion and influence in every room you enter.
Embody
Get out of your head and into the present moment by focusing on presence, not perfection.
Empathy
Use empathy as a strength to influence in an impactful and authentic way.
expert
Identify your zone of expertise so you can articulate your unique perspective.
Because the one thing AI will never replace is our empathy (our communication, collaboration, and connection with each other).
But what if I’m too empathetic?
I know. Empathy can be weaponized and harmful if we’re over-thinking, people pleasing, or focusing too much on how we’re perceived.
But empathy is your strength (even if you’ve been made to believe it’s a liability). It’s how we connect deeply and influence with intention. It’s how we amplify our impact.
This work isn’t just about appearing more confident. You will actually feel more confident.
And empathy is the missing link to embody true confidence and leadership presence.
“PresentVoices group coaching classes are the perfect stepping stone. The people who attend are so encouraging to one another. I really appreciate the flexibility and the fact that there's no pressure to participate.
It's a great reminder that so many of us have similar fears around communication, and being reminded that I'm not alone is so encouraging. It's an amazing community to be a part of, and such a gift that Lee has provided us a safe space to practice our skills and grow as individuals, and as a group.”
— Haley, Product Manager
