Hey, I'm your coach,

LESLIE BECKER

I help ambitious creatives and entrepreneurs build a life and business that feels like them even when fear has held them back for years. Because that's what happened to me.

If you’ve ever felt capable but stuck — or successful on the outside and restless inside — you’re exactly who I love working with.

And I know what it's like to lack confidence.

One of the first lessons I learned as a kid was that I was a chicken. I watched my older sister do things that I was too scared to try, and spent my childhood convinced that a person was either born brave or they weren't. And I definitely wasn’t. But in junior high, a teacher asked me to try to beat my sister’s long jump record at school. Yikes! In my world that felt impossible. My sister brave and bold, and I wasn't.

But the teacher saw something in me, and encouraged me to try. And before long, I went from questioning whether I should even attempt the jump, to actually beating my sister's record and setting the longest long jump record at the school. And went on to set three other records for physical fitness. Wow! I could do it.

It was that moment that taught me that bravery isn’t born—it’s built, and when you decide to put aside your fear of failure, and just show up with consistency, eventually bravery shows up.

Doubt and fear still crept in.

My complex relationship with bravery continued to dictate what I did and didn’t do in my life. I was brave enough to say "No" to a corporate job after college so I could start my own business instead. But not brave enough to actually pursue the career I really wanted which was to be a professional actor.

I'd been performing for fun since I was 8, but was terrified of auditioning an didn't believe I could make a living at it. So, I ignored my passion and just kept building my business—because that seemed like the thing that had more stability.

But the truth catches up to you eventually, and at age 28 I realized I was miserable and wanted my acting "hobby" to be my career—and declared it out loud. And that's when everything happened. I closed down my business so I could focus 100% on my acting career, and in only three months, I booked my first Broadway show, moved to NYC all on my own, and never once considered how brave those decisions were.

Doubt and fear still crept in.

The spotlight was terrifying and intoxicating all at the same time.

Fast forward: The decision to follow my big dream turned into a 25-year career performing on Broadway. Growing from the girl who was once terrified to sing in public —to a girl belting out tunes to thousands was unbelievable for my younger self. It took tons of mindset shifts, hard work, and tears to eventually find my comfort in the spotlight.

New York is a place to make dreams come true and my entrepreneurial pursuits were still important to me so while there, I also c0-founded a theater company, wrote some musicals, and had a pop song I wrote hit the charts.

I never let go of my desire to coach and help others.

On a whim, I wrote a book to help other actors build successful businesses too, and it became a bestseller which organically turned into a recognized brand and coaching business for actors and creatives that included more books, online courses, a membership site. Because I was immersed so deeply in the theatre community I was also being asked to be a guest speaker for various companies and events both in and outside of the entertainment industry.

I never let go of my desire to coach and help others.

A season of change that hit us all.

But life has seasons, and after nearly nearly 30 years performing in shows eight shows a week, and running my business, and writing two musicals, and, and, and— this girl was tired. I was tired of the hustle, of the city and the lifestyle.

And when I made the choice to leave NYC and move to Tennessee for a more peaceful life, my timing was impeccable because shortly after that decision, the pandemic hit and obliterated the live entertainment industry and my business that served it.

But my success building courses, memberships and content opened up an opportunity to lead content strategy and development inside a $250-million company in Tennessee, and this time I jumped at the opportunity to finally satisfy that corporate life I was offered after college.

Who would have guessed that a stable job would be where my bravery made the biggest contribution. Because others saw my fearlessness, I was able to others rally others around big ideas for the company.

Finding myself again.

While I loved my time at the company, and fully understood the blessing it proved to be in my life for five years—an entrepreneur always finds their way back to themselves.

It was clear it was time for me to use all my skills an life experiences from Broadway to the boardroom, to help others create a life and business that is fully theirs too. So I waved good-bye to the cubicle and hello to myself again.

I've made brave choices in my life—some that people questioned or didn't understand. But they were right for me. Every single one of them.

Building a big, beautiful life doesn't come by chance or by playing it safe. It comes from being honest with yourself, being brave when fear shows up, and strategically building it with consistency, grit, and trust. And you can too.

The simple framework that took me through every season.

I know what it feels like to be stuck and paralyzed by fear. I also know what it takes to break through.

That’s why I teach a simple, powerful approach that I live by every single day that works in your business and your life no matter your age, background or season. Now, is always the right time to start living the life you were meant to have. Here's how:

Decide what you want.

You've got to get clear about what you actually want — not what you think you should want.

Believe it's possible.

You must learn to trust yourself and your instincts, even when fear shows up.

Go out and do it.

You're not going to make a change until you take intentional action, every day, step-by-step, until your life and business reflects brave you in whatever season you're in.

And now it's your turn to thrive.

If you’ve ever felt capable but stuck, ambitious but hesitant, or ready to live bigger, but unsure where to start — you’re in the right place.

You don’t need more advice.
You don’t need more pressure.
You need clarity and courage, and someone in your corner who tells it straight, cheers you on, and calls you out when you're not living into the life you deserve.

This is your only life.
And it deserves to be fully designed and lived by you.

It's your turn. And this is the place to make it happen.
