Leslie Mizerak
CEO, Executive Coach, & Leadership Facilitator
Based out of Orlando, Florida – Leslie is a seasoned Talent Executive.
I believe in the power of executive coaching and the profound transformation it can bring about. Coaching allows leaders to better leverage their strengths, overcome their challenges, and make significant internal shifts in how they view and experience themselves, and empower others and impact their world.
I support my clients as they navigate strategic, organizational, and interpersonal challenges/ opportunities. A little about my coaching style.I've been described as a straight-shooter with a relaxed, conversational style to my coaching. Which really means, "I say what's on my mind, but I'm nice about it."
I am a Jeep girl that loves to travel; my life's motto is: Life is too short not to have fun.

Who do we work with?
We do this for lightbulb moments.
We do this for lightbulb moments.
We love working with professionals and seeing the impact they have on their teams and organizations. Does the industry or type of business you're in matter? No — that's your expertise, not mine. What matters for us is how your business or organization depends on you as a leader, and how your leadership impacts those around you. We look more at the "how" you do what you do, rather than the "what" you do.
We do this for lightbulb moments.

We do this for lightbulb moments.
There is nothing more amazing than seeing the light bulb go on in a client's head — their "ah-ha" moment. What's even better is that these "ah-ha" moments are not mine — our clients get there on their own, and decide how to take that insight and put it into motion.
So that's a little about us, we hope that answered some of your questions. If you have any other burning questions, please connect! we would love to hear from you.
THOUGHTFUL WORDS FROM OUR CLIENTS
I found great value in the story telling development; this has helped me re-focus on my current leadership role.
AB- Head of HR, NGO
The story telling and beliefs development [of the Empowerful Leader] has helped me focus on improving my business, relationships, and character.
DT, Sales Professional, IT Organization
The Empowerful Leader really went beyond general principles of leadership and help me understand the connection between leadership and myself as an individual. Throughout the program I came to understand how leader ship fits with my own personal story and personal goals. Leslie got me to really think about the meaning of my every day decisions and the interactions with others, and has supported me as I’ve worked to improve the leadership skills which I feel most needed work.
JL, President Marketing Agency
I want to personally thank Leslie Mizerak for such an amazing class. I reached out to her several months ago explaining that the managers at our company were in need of a very good leadership class, as this is not something that had been done in the past.
Leslie’s “To Lead or To Manage” workshop is absolutely amazing, not only because she goes over it step by step explaining everything so well, but she makes learning fun as well! We were all very impressed with her high level of skills and knowledge. Her style of teaching is superb! By the end of the day, we each walked away with some newfound knowledge and the ability to view things in a more positive light.
We look forward to another one of her workshops in the near future. I highly recommend Leslie for any group or individual coaching needs.
