Let’s face it—building a business can feel like trying to assemble IKEA furniture without the instructions. That’s where I come in. Hi, I’m Leslie, and I’ve spent over 15 years teaching, coaching, and guiding people through all sorts of challenges (yes, even algebra). My journey from educator to entrepreneur taught me how to streamline chaos, juggle priorities, and, most importantly, find solutions that work in real life—not just on paper.

When I traded my classroom for the boardroom, I discovered that the skills I used to manage students (and their occasionally overzealous parents) translated perfectly to managing clients and projects. Now, I help solopreneurs like you cut through the noise, tackle those endless to-do lists, and actually enjoy running your business. Think of me as your operations guru with a dash of mom humor and a sprinkle of efficiency magic.

Outside of GYST, I’m the proud mom of two creative young adults, finding time for life’s adventures, and squeezing in dance classes whenever I can (tap shoes optional). I get it—balancing ambition and reality is tough. That’s why I’m passionate about helping you find clarity, streamline your business, and thrive on your terms.

With GYST, it’s not just about getting your business together—it’s about building a life you love, with a guide who’s been there, done that, and maybe has a few funny stories to share along the way. Let’s get started—you bring the big ideas, and I’ll help you make them happen.
