Leanna Laskey McGrath

I’m a PCC-certified Executive Coach and former tech executive who helps high achieving women lead with greater confidence, authenticity, and impact. My clients have earned promotions, negotiated significant salary increases, stepped into executive roles, and created careers and lives that feel more aligned with who they are and what matters to them. Whether you’re navigating a career or life transition, pursuing an ambitious goal, or realizing that the way you’ve always worked isn’t working anymore, I’ll help you get clear on what you want and move forward with intention. I bring five years of professional coaching experience, a master’s degree in educational leadership, and 12+ years as an executive leader in the tech startup world. My work centers on self-leadership: understanding yourself, trusting your judgment, and choosing how you want to show up so you can lead others more effectively. I especially enjoy working with high achieving women, working moms, and Customer Success executives. My coaching areas include: ✨ CONFIDENCE & AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP Move from second-guessing yourself to trusting your judgment, speaking with confidence, and leading as yourself. I’ve helped accomplished women rebuild confidence after career setbacks, prepare for tough CEO and board conversations, and step into leadership roles with greater responsibility and impact. 🧭 CAREER & LIFE TRANSITIONS When the way you’ve always worked no longer fits, discover what will support your next chapter. Drawing on my experience navigating startup growth, mergers and acquisitions, and becoming a mother while serving as a tech executive, I help you clarify what you want and move toward it. My clients have navigated promotions, motherhood, and career changes—including leaving unhealthy work environments and creating more aligned opportunities where they’re thriving. 🎯 CLARITY, ALIGNMENT & GOALS Move from feeling stuck or pulled by others’ expectations to making intentional decisions and pursuing goals that matter to you. Together, we’ll define your version of success and turn it into action. My clients have earned promotions, created more aligned career opportunities, and advocated for their value—including one executive who negotiated a salary increase from $350,000 to $425,000. 🌿 WORK-LIFE BALANCE & BOUNDARIES Build a relationship with work that supports your ambitions while making room for your health, relationships, and life outside your career. As a recovering perfectionist and workaholic, I understand how difficult it can feel to change these patterns. I’ve helped clients reduce overworking, protect time for themselves, and leave work at work—including a director and mother of three who began prioritizing her health while also earning the promotion she wanted. 💬 STRENGTHENING RELATIONSHIPS Communicate more clearly, navigate difficult interactions, and make intentional space for the relationships that matter most. With 12+ years of executive leadership experience, I understand the stakes of challenging workplace relationships. I’ve helped clients navigate difficult bosses and sensitive executive conversations, while also protecting time and energy for their partners and families. Our work can help you set boundaries, be more present, and invest in your most important relationships at work and at home. 💼 CUSTOMER SUCCESS LEADERSHIP Grow your confidence and effectiveness as a CS leader with a partner who understands the demands of the role. As a former VP of Customer Success who built teams from the ground up and led through growth and M&A, I combine executive coaching with mentorship and practical perspective. I’ve supported Heads and VPs of CS as a coach, mentor, advisor, and sounding board, tailoring our work to their goals—from navigating team challenges to strengthening their influence as executives.
