Consulting & Advisory

Building Brands that Resonate and Organizations that Thrive

Working with Lesley Holmes is about access to a way of seeing.

A recent client described her as a mix of a spiritual oracle, Wendy Rhoades (Billions), Brené Brown, and a McKinsey consultant. She’s brought in when leaders need perspective, judgment, and clarity, alongside execution.

She works with founders, executives and leadership teams across growth, go-to-market moments, leadership transitions, and team evolution, helping them build brands that resonate, identify what’s blocking progress and design paths forward that are strategic, human, and sustainable.

A seasoned leader in the beauty and wellness space, she’s also pioneering a new paradigm of leadership and organizational growth—integrating nervous system regulation, creativity, and human awareness into the workplace in ways that are practical, grounded, and immediately useful.

At the core: an ability to see potential others don’t yet recognize. She’s helps leaders dream bigger, create systems that scale, and see possibilities beyond incremental growth.

Engagements are tailored. Fit matters.

CLIENT STORIES

  • "Lesley has a natural ability to assess business units holistically, quickly identifying what’s working, what’s not, and charting a clear path forward. Her balance of process rigor and relationships centered in trust created meaningful, lasting impact for the team. Lesley is the kind of leader who elevates not just workflows, but culture."

    — Christiana M, Managing Director

  • "When we started, I didn’t realize how much I was holding myself back—stuck in patterns I couldn’t see, driven by fears I didn’t want to admit, and believing lies that felt like truth. Today, I feel lighter, more confident, and deeply aligned with who I am. Lesley didn’t just coach me; she helped me transform. Her ability to tailor the journey to my unique needs made all the difference."

    — Christie Payne, VP

  • “She has an uncanny ability to cut through the noise and get straight to what’s actually happening. I didn’t realize how much I was operating on autopilot, or how much that was affecting the way I lead and live. Every session left me clearer, more grounded, and more decisive. The work wasn’t always comfortable, but it was extremely effective. It fundamentally changed how I show up.”

    — Douglas B, Sr. Director

  • “I still don’t fully understand how she sees what she sees, but she came in and immediately understood what wasn’t working. She quickly assessed the team dynamics, the systems, and the underlying issues we’d been circling for months. She connected dots we hadn’t seen and laid out a clear, practical plan forward, while also being human and thoughtful, but very direct about the changes that needed to happen. They weren’t easy, but they were right. The team is stronger, more profitable, and frankly, happier.”

    — Robert D, SVP

  • “Lesley is a rare talent—strategic, thoughtful, and deeply committed to growing companies. She brings care, clarity, and conviction to everything she touches. Lesley leads with vision, integrity, and a rare ability to bring the right people, processes, and strategy together to unlock real growth. She intuitively knows how to build teams that work and how to align those teams with a company’s deeper mission and momentum. As a CEO I found her partnership to be one of the most positive and supportive I’ve had in my career.”

    — Leilah Mundt, Founder & CEO

  • “After nearly two decades of working with her, I can say with confidence: Lesley is one of the sharpest, most intuitive people I know. Her background in marketing gives her a deep grasp of business dynamics, but what truly sets her apart is her ability to zoom out, spot what’s not working, and zero in on exactly how to fix it."

    — Liz Snower, Cofounder
