A CREATIVE COMPASS

Bridging music, leadership, and personal evolution, this bespoke experience invites you to step outside of performance pressure, reconnect with inspiration, and expand the way you see yourself.

As your guide, I draw from a lifetime in the musical realm as an award-winning pianist and seasoned mentor, as well as 25 years in business and entrepreneurship.

RETIRED FOUNDER

THE EXPERIENCE

Through in-person sessions and curated resources, this partnership uses music as a vehicle for self-discovery, infusing creative awareness and principles into all areas of life. 

 

Structured yet fluid, our time together blends thoughtful dialogue, attentive presence, and hands-on exploration at the piano if desired. No prior experience is required.

 

Your "greatest hits" serve as a framework for reflection, from favorite songs to the defining moments in your personal story. You'll become more attuned to patterns in how you think and operate, and develop a heightened appreciation for your innate gifts — powerful insight that can enhance clarity and open the door to unexpected possibilities.

 

The outcome is as singular as the individual, from new avenues of expression to deeper inner satisfaction. Creative people see the world differently because they see themselves differently; this paradigm shift is the true return.

ABOUT LESLIE

My background is rooted in both artistry and leadership; I hold a Master of Music in Piano Performance from Carnegie Mellon University, as well as a BA in Music with a Certificate in Markets and Management from Duke University.

 

From the concert stage to the corporate world, I've thrived in high-performance environments. In 2012, inspired by joining a rock band for fun, I launched a concierge music program at an investment firm to help executives unplug and tap into a different side of their brain through the piano.


Yet something even more profound was happening --- clients were shifting out of performance mode and into possibility. They were asking new questions. Making unexpected connections. Reclaiming parts of themselves they hadn’t accessed in years.

 

I realized that the practices I'd refined through a lifetime in the creative realm held transformational potential. Today I serve as a guide and confidante to those who have forged bold paths and wish to explore the full range of who they are.

Hear Their Stories.

Dennis was a visionary founder who pursued the piano in retirement and uncovered new dimensions of himself. Amelia's musical journey sharpened her instincts as she navigated a professional transition. Lori’s creative reawakening inspired a midlife reinvention.
