Led by Dessie Leff , MBA, Certified Coach
I have 18 years experience in Corporate America. My most recent position was as a Regional Manager in a large pharmaceutical company. As an Executive Coach I help clients discover their own unique leadership style through the use of The BrainStyles System and Horsemanship experiences. My colleague, Linda Bush and I lead a one-day seminar called, "Horsemanship & Leadership". I am a graduate of Coach U and I am a student in The Graduate School of Coaching at Coachville.

Class Description:
BrainStyles: Leading From Strengths

...a system you can use to discover your natural brain-based abilities and how to leverage them in every personal and professional situation

...that teaches you how to prevent or manage conflict by using timing instead of artificial techniques or expecting others to change

...a methodology developed by a local entrepreneur and now taught in Latin America, Europe, Asia and the U.S., and studied in 5 languages(Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, Polish, and Indonesian)

...In any situation what you have to offer comes from a core set of gifts that are natural, efficient, and produce the best of what you have to offer. Focusing on gifts allows you to stay centered in stressful times. Doing so automatically creates workable relationships that are authentic, require less effort and have less conflict.

... A central principle of the work is that we do not need to change ourselves. We need to leverage our strengths to be effective not only when we change our lives, but also in order to make a lifelong contribution.

Dessie's Teaching Style:
I have a very interactive teaching style that taps into the wisdom of the participants. My flexibility allows for weaving of various perspectives into the course material. I surround the particpants in a warmth of acceptance that leads to discovery at deeper levels.
