Why CTL? Chase The Lion

Who would chase a lion? It’s bold. Risky. Borderline impossible.
But so are your biggest goals—the ones that keep tugging at you even when life is full.

If your vision feels intimidating, you’re in the right place. That sense of fear? It’s not a red flag. It’s a sign you’re aiming at something meaningful.

I don’t flinch at big dreams. I help leaders align their vision with action, and action with traction. Together, we’ll cut through the noise and focus on what matters most—so you can pursue the impossible with strategy and clarity.

Chase the Lion. I’ll help you catch it.

I came to Leslie scrambled and frustrated. She helped me work through some difficult conversations I needed to have and to focus on what was in my control, me!

I’ve had the privilege of participating in several workshops led by Leslie Minchin, and I can honestly say that they have had a profound impact on my personal and professional life. Leslie’s approach, rooted in brain science, has helped me reduce stress and has empowered me to make more mindful choices in both my reactions and interactions with others.
 
One of the most unexpected but welcome benefits has been the noticeable reduction in my stress levels. Through the strategies Leslie teaches, I’ve been able to better manage my responses to challenging situations, staying calm and centered instead of overwhelmed.

By applying the practical, science-backed techniques she teaches, I’ve become more intentional in my speech, creating more positive and productive conversations, both at work and in my personal life.
