I’m proud of my clients’ success.

I had the pleasure of connecting with Leigh at a time when I was navigating an unexpected and emotional career transition after losing my role of over 15 years. She noticed me on LinkedIn and reached out to see if I would be open to exploring alternative career paths based on my background and experience, something I had never considered before.

I decided to stay open-minded and have a conversation with her, and I am so glad I did. From the very beginning, Leigh was welcoming, empathetic, and genuinely invested in understanding my story. She created a space where I felt heard and supported, taking the time to listen as I reflected on my career, my strengths, and what I want for the future.

I left our conversation feeling encouraged and excited about the possibilities ahead. Leigh has a thoughtful, insightful approach that inspires confidence and clarity, and I am grateful for this newly formed partnership as I step into this next chapter.

I strongly recommend Leigh to anyone who is open to exploring new directions, no matter where they are in their professional journey!

Leigh was supportive, insightful, and generous with her time, expertise and perspective. The experience helped me think more clearly about next steps at a pivotal moment in my career and gave me access to opportunities I wouldn’t have found on my own. I recommend her to anyone exploring a career pivot, entrepreneurship, or alternative professional paths. It’s great to have dedicated professionals offer insight and help during critical times.

Danny Bott – Indianapolis, Indiana

As a serial entrepreneur, I was once again on the verge going down the exhausting path of trying to re-invent myself. But this time was different: rather than reinvent the wheel, perhaps I could buy into an established business model? Fortunately, I met Leigh Hirnisey and she became my coach for my journey exploring the world of franchise ownership. She took the time to get to know me and my preferences, act as a sounding board, and provide the gentle guidance along the way. Exploring franchise ownership requires a great deal of clarity of purpose and honesty. It’s not easy and I was glad that I had Leigh as my coach. If you are facing a similar journey, you would be very lucky to have her as your coach too.

I had the chance to work with Leigh recently, and it was such a valuable experience. Our conversations helped me step back, explore where I truly am in my career, and set meaningful short- and long-term goals. What stood out most was gaining a deeper sense of why I do what I do. Leigh guided me with thoughtful questions and genuine insight — it really helped me connect the dots in my professional journey.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Leigh! She was professional, prompt and understanding. Leigh asked critical questions along the way which helped me to hone in on my own goals. Along the journey, she steadfastly supported me as well as challenged me when appropriate. When I ultimately decided that franchise entrepreneurship was not right for me at this time, Leigh remained supportive and considerate of my final decision. We parted ways with the door open in case I ever decided it was time for a revisit. Leigh is someone I’d highly recommend to anyone entertaining owning their own business through franchising.
