I’m Leslie Santos — a master coach devoted to helping mission-driven scientists and entrepreneurs realize meaningful impact. With an advanced degree in positive psychology and 15 years of experience guiding high-performing clients, I bring a scientist’s rigor and a psychologist’s curiosity to every conversation.

My approach is precise, direct, and deeply attuned to your unique ambitions. I specialize in surfacing the blind spots and hidden patterns that shape your leadership — those subtle dynamics you can’t see but that ripple through your team, organization and systems. Together, we create moments of clarity that catalyze lasting behavior change.

Clients come to me when they’re ready for more than incremental growth. They want an honest partnership, sharp insight, and a space where they can challenge assumptions, examine unintended impact to the systems they operate in, and unlock new levels of leadership. My coaching is as intellectually sharp as it is emotionally intelligent — designed for the earnest do-gooders who want to lead with conviction and make a lasting difference with people and planet.
