Humanizing leadership - one leader, one team, one workplace at a time
so that people stay and the right work gets done.
The heart of our work.
We coach the human behind the leader.
At LHR Leadership Development & Coaching, we help high-achieving humans lead with more clarity, calm, and courage—without burning out or selling themselves short. Founded in 2017, our work blends the science of performance with the soul of presence. We know that leadership and life are deeply intertwined. That’s why we don’t just help you lead better—we help you live better too. Because when leaders are grounded, whole, and well-supported, their people thrive—and so does the business.
Our values.
What guides us.
People First. Every leader, team member, and client deserves to be seen, heard, and valued.
Purpose Always. We lead with heart and with a clear “why.” No box-checking here.
Performance with Integrity. Results matter—but not at the cost of people’s wellbeing.
Passion for Possibility. We believe in work that lights you up and creates ripple effects far beyond the boardroom.
Some of our happy clients.
Meet Louise.
