Empowered Leadership for Senior Leaders

I teach the way I have learned it, on the inside of growth. From the NFL creative team to Silicon Valley tech, through scaling to IPO, then building communities and supporting leaders through the biggest cultural shifts of the last decade, I have seen what helps people and what breaks them. I believe growth is human, collective, and sustainable. It takes courage to slow down, reflect, realign, and lead with intention. My approach is “with”, not “for”. You do not need saving. You need space to think, sharp tools, and the right challenge and support to translate what you already know into consistent leadership in the real world.

I'm Leah, co-founder of Gather + Grow, and a change management strategist with 20 years in agency operations.

Before Gather + Grow, I served as Chief Operating Officer at a boutique communications firm and worked inside world-class global marketing and communications agencies serving Fortune 100 clients including Mars-Wrigley, ALDI, Edward Jones, Crown Imports, and Kellogg's.

I work with leaders and founders who are clear on where they're going but whose organizations can't yet keep pace. We help them get honest about priorities, build the structures that create real ownership, and put the rhythms and decision-making practices in place so the organization can actually execute. Clear direction, shared accountability, a team that doesn't need you in every room for things to move.

At Gather + Grow, growth is something you navigate.

Gather + Grow is a leadership and growth strategy studio working with founders, executives, and leadership teams at the point where growth becomes harder to hold. We help organizations move from scattered signals to shared clarity, building the ownership, alignment, and trust that sustainable growth requires.

Since 2023, we've specialized in Change Navigation. The leadership, systems, and culture work that helps teams thrive through uncertainty and turn transformation into something that sticks.
