I’ve been a coach and facilitator for over thirty years. That’s how mastery is actually achieved—not through certifications or quick courses, but through countless moments where every skill, perspective, and expertly-nuanced method is deepened, refined, and tested in the real world with real people facing real challenges.
I’ve studied in the following areas extensively over the course of 40 years, as both intellectual and experiential pursuits – psychology, neuroscience, systems theory, somatic work, energy medicine, reiki, trauma-informed methodologies, spiritual/ceremonial work, sexuality, culture, communication and relational practices..I’ve devoted my life to the understanding of human nature, change, transformation, and the subtle dynamics that make breakthroughs possible.
I intuitively know how to lean in and create the conditions for deep, sustainable growth – both in your experience, and in your results. It’s not magic—it’s mastery. Drawing on decades of deep experience, I’ve developed proven methods that consistently work to resolve the unseen barriers holding people back and create dramatic increases in personal power, productivity, income, and satisfaction. And just as importantly, my clients rediscover that sense of ease and balance they thought was gone forever.
I’m also an entrepreneur. I’ve ventured into the great unknown multiple times, starting businesses from scratch, navigating uncertainty, making hard calls, and learning what it really takes to build something meaningful. I’m no stranger to the pressures of business leadership and entrepreneurship—I’ve lived it. This is exactly why nearly all my work these days is with leaders who are hungry to make their leadership, work, and life a true masterpiece. I understand what you’re up against.
In terms of experience, my impact has been vast and varied:
One-on-one coaching with hundreds of clients over three decades, helping them shift, reimagine, and transform their lives and leadership from the inside out.
Peer group facilitation and coaching, helping leaders connect authentically, grow together, and expand their capacity alongside others who challenge and support them.
Corporate facilitation and coaching with start-ups, small to midsize businesses, and Fortune 500 companies, helping them uncover the underlying obstacles—the ones hiding in plain sight—that prevent peak performance and real growth.
SpiralMethod facilitator training with coaches and facilitators, helping them transform their impact through my pioneering facilitation method that creates community, connection and collective wisdom reliably every time.
Over the years, I’ve founded and led multiple companies, including Leslie Jones Coaching, Jones Associates, Let’s Go Live, the InnerActive Institute, and SpiralMethod. Each venture has deepened my understanding of leadership, transformation, and what it takes to create something that truly matters. This breadth of experience informs everything I do—and it’s what allows me to help leaders navigate complexity with clarity, confidence, and ease.
