I met Leyda through the School of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell University. Leyda has supported me as a friend and as an executive coach through the past several years. Leyda is detailed oriented, inspirational and does an excellent job getting to the root cause of challenges to help her clients succeed in their professional and personal goals. Leyda is passionate about what she does and is hard working and sincere. She would be a great complementary force and a wonderful addition to teams trying to achieve their potential as well as individuals who are trying to achieve their professional goals.

Leyda is a coach who has impressed me incredibly. I am fascinated by her presence, her clarity and her exceptional ability to put things in a nutshell with the right timing. Leyda can move people and motivate them to bring the best out of themselves. In doing so, she does not put anyone under pressure, but provides the necessary support with her love. She is a reliable companion on the right path. I can only advise anyone, who wants to take the next step, to entrust herself/himself to Leyda.

Where do I start? She has been the light for me at the end of the tunnel, guiding me through each and every step of my career. She has helped me grow and mature in such a way that I might not feel so proud of myself like I do if it wasn't for Leyda being part of it. I have been able to mature within my work and personal life tremendously. Words cannot describe how thankful I am for everything Leyda has done for me. She has been a great mentor, coach and friend! Someone that I can trust! I strongly recommend Leyda to help you work through important decisions, create an actionable plan for execution and then track to the plan and work through any barriers to success.

Leyda has been a ray of light for me. It's because of her that I have been able to grow and learn so much about myself and the people around me. It is because of her that I am where I am in my career today, and for all this and so much more I cannot thank her enough. I learned new questions to ask myself when addressing management issues and had one of those proverbial “aha” moments that encouraged me to take the next step in fine-tuning my own leadership voice and personal vision for the future.

Leyda knows how to connect with people. You are a great leader, an amazing coach! and I admire you so much! You brought me to a new level of professionalism and leadership. I feel adept at dealing with crises and disputes, high profile communication opportunities, articulating new visions and bringing teams along with me. I’ve learnt how to be a leader without ego, how to confront and tackle sensitive issues.

People say change is hard. It is, but it is much more achievable when you have Leyda Aleman as your coach and mentor to guide you through the process. I was lucky to have Leyda as an executive coach during a period of time where I needed to change my leadership style. I learned a lot from her on dealing with leadership challenges, building a high-performing team, and providing a vision to guide and unify the team.

Through coaching, I was able to gain the confidence and skills needed to communicate effectively with executive management. As a mid-level HR professional, I learned how to translate the detailed issues of a business problem to an executive level summary with direct impacts to the bottom line. This change in communication has already improved my effectiveness as a leader within my organization. Leyda taught me to challenge the status quo, propel our processes forward, and drive change within the organization. Coaching has provided me with a new perspective on my role in the business as a leader and my capability to change and challenge the systems used today to help grow them into tools to support our ever-changing business. Thank you Leyda for your guidance and support!
