Better Leadership
At LeaderSmith Group we are committed to personalized executive, team and leadership coaching that fosters growth from the inside out, empowering you to lead with greater ease and impact.
Leadership from the Inside Out
We believe that truly effective leadership isn't about adopting a persona. It's about cultivating the unique capacity that already exists within you. We know that personal development IS professional development and that leadership is an inner game. It is with this knowledge that we dedicate ourselves to helping leaders foster the conscious, compassionate, effective leadership the world needs today.
A Path to Conscious, Compassionate, Effective Leadership
We guide individuals and teams through a range of transformative experiences. Whether it's through a deep, personalized partnership in 1:1 Executive or Leadership Coaching, fostering connection and trust with Team Coaching, building new capacity and understanding in our Workshops , or uncovering hidden barriers with Leadership Assessments, everything is designed to foster growth from the inside out. This is how lasting change is created.

Lindsay Hanley
COO, Native Touch
I began working with Theresa and the LeaderSmith Group over 2 years ago. Theresa’s coaching helped me define and embody my leadership vision resulting in a more intentional, creative, and bold leader. Beyond my own growth, the group coaching programs that the LeaderSmith Group has led at our organization have created a shared language and mindset around psychological safety, constructive feedback, and proactive development. Our managers are more confident and better equipped to nurture and stretch their teams, which directly supports our company culture, retention and performance.
Testimonials
AMS Healthcare
At AMS Healthcare, we engage Theresa Smith and the LeaderSmith Group to provide executive coaching to our AMS Healthcare Compassion and AI Leadership Fellows—and the feedback has been exceptional. Every Fellow who has participated in the program reported a significant positive impact on their leadership development. They consistently describe Theresa’s coaching as a transformative experience: insightful, supportive, and tailored to their unique leadership journeys. Her coaching has helped our Fellows move from 'doing to leading,' develop a clearer sense of their leadership strengths and values, and apply practical strategies to real-world challenges. One participant described it as “an unexpected gift,” while another reflected that coaching “improved my wellbeing and is allowing me to be more present, supportive, and a better mentor.” Theresa brings a rare combination of professionalism, warmth, and deep insight. Her ability to create a safe space for reflection, coupled with her use of tools like the Leadership Circle, empowers emerging leaders to grow with intention and confidence. We are grateful for the meaningful impact she continues to make through her work with our program.

I am implementing the important points that we discussed into my day-to-day nearly automatically and it’s absolutely lightening my load and improving the quality of my work. My team is functioning very well and I can see us blending advancement towards our key objectives with a healthy work culture—this is really due to the work I did with Theresa. I’ve also been working to use some of the coaching lessons with my team and I hope they benefit as I did!"
