People come to me for:

help turning their management intuition into concrete skills. Straight talk about leadership—no corporate jargon, no cookie-cutter solutions. They're managers who refuse to be ordinary and want to develop a leadership style that's authentically theirs while building teams that actually thrive.

I love working with:

People who have the passion and work ethic to unlock their extraordinary. High-performers who are great at what they do and driven to become truly amazing. Whether you've just started your management journey or you're ready to graduate from managing people to building self-sustaining teams—you're effective, you're hungry for growth, and you refuse to settle for good enough.

My fave ways to find joy + ease:

Hosting parties, cooking with my kids, crafting, and singing jazz

Why Helia loves Laila:

Having known Laila for over a decade (AND being massive volleyball fans), we love how Laila brings "setter energy" to everything she does—she's the person who figures out exactly what each team member needs to make a huge play. Her delegation framework transforms the vague "just handle it" into crystal-clear expectations that actually set people up to win. Whether she's coaching managers, designing IT systems, or facilitating workshops on AI in education, Laila combines strategic thinking with genuine care for helping people do their best work—and she makes it look effortless
