LEISSE WILCOX BIOGRAPHY

Leisse Wilcox doesn’t just coach leaders—she is one. As Chief People Officer of a multi–seven–figure infrastructure business with over 20 years of experience speaking and coaching executives around the world, Leisse transforms leadership by helping you become the leader everyone wants to work with.

Known as “the Secret Weapon of the C-Suite” and “the Marie Kondo of Your Unconscious,” she helps ambitious leaders cut through the mental clutter, lead with courage, and create workplaces people are excited to be part of.

An expert in behavioral change, resilience, and high-performance leadership and certified Leadership, Executive, and Organizational Development Coach, Leisse is an award-winning speaker, twice bestselling author, and Forbes contributor trusted by brands like TD, AGF, and Aviva, championing confident communication, resilience, and human-centered leadership that drives results and culture at the same time.

When she’s not building the future of work or coaching leaders to own the room, she’s road-tripping for tacos, listening to Taylor Swift with her three daughters, or binge-watching HBO with her dog.
