“Leandria is truly a gem! I had the pleasure of having her as my career coach while I worked with LVE’s Career Advancement Program. I knew the type of impact I wanted my work to make, but I was uncertain of what that role would be and what my career trajectory looked like. In a matter of weeks, Leandria helped me to secure my next role, but when I soon realized that it was not the role for me, Leandria was quick to switch gears and help me land my next role in a matter of months that increased my salary by 35%! Leandria created a space where I felt I could be vulnerable and authentic as a woman of color, and it was refreshing being heard and validated as I embarked on my professional journey. She was very graceful when I needed to be held accountable and empathic while I was navigating a lot of moving parts in my personal life. Leandria empowered me to be ambitious with my career goals, gain clarity with my career trajectory, and confidently speak to my professional strengths and value. I highly recommend her as a career coach. Her expertise and mentoring were valuable and remarkable.”

"I recently needed to seek a new job opportunity, and Leandria's coaching is, without a doubt, what landed me on my next role. Her advice was invaluable. From resume workshops, to interview prep, to navigating the corporate world, to just motivating to keep going, her coaching was money well spent! I landed a new role in only two months with better pay than my last position, and Leandria was there to support me every step of the way. She has been one of the best investments I have done for myself and I can't praise her enough. Even after landing my new role, I will continue to seek her coaching for future guidance and motivation. I can't recommend her enough she is just amazing 100 out of 10 stars!"

"I worked with Leandria Vickers in a leadership role where I was responsible for supporting Leandria, who served as a Head of Programs and Executive Coach at the time. In that role, I observed that Leandria had a mastery for coaching that allowed her to support clients with the strategy, accountability, and support that clients needed to be able to progress with their career goals. She is a skilled coach in that she connects very well with clients from various backgrounds and experiences and is great at truly helping people to reach their goals and objectives in a way that she has both compassion and high expectations for her clients. I highly recommend her as a coach and leader!"

As a coach, Mandeep brings this experience, and his fundamental belief in each person’s innate abilities, to create the non-judgmental and energized space for leaders and teams to truly get in touch with what is important to them, and rev up the energy and momentum to make it happen.  His clients take ownership of their own power. They also leverage their own observations to get deep insights into what’s holding them back and then break those habits.  A number of his clients have reported their work together has been transformative.

In addition, these leaders and teams begin to accept the world as it shows up, rather than the way they wish it would.  That accepted, they hold the courage of their convictions pragmatically, communicate their vision authentically and directly, and set about influencing the people, networks and systems of which they are part to create the enabling environments within which their organizations, projects and people succeed.
