Leadership is an Inside Game
At LeaderSmith Group we focus on expanding our clients’ inner landscape – their self-awareness, their connection to their core values, their ways of relating to others, their personal identity – so that leadership becomes a natural expression of their ever-evolving self, rather than a set of external behaviors to adopt. It's a powerful and sustainable approach.
1:1 Executive Coaching
LSG coaches help leaders unearth and cultivate their own unique leadership capacity by fostering growth from the inside out, empowering them to become the best version of themselves so they are prepared to step into greater leadership roles regardless of title—whether in formal positions or through their everyday influence.
Team Coaching
We partner with teams to enhance group dynamics, strengthen collective purpose, and maximize potential. LeaderSmith Group Coaches help your team move beyond individual performance to thrive together, fostering deeper connection & trust along with stronger collaboration and better outcomes.
Workshops & Group Programs
Conscious, compassionate, & effective leadership emerges when intentionally fostered. LSG partners with organizations invested in that intention, helping individuals expand their potential as human beings to step into greater leadership roles, ultimately strengthening the organization with the ease and increased impact of effective leadership.
Leadership 360s & Assessments
Often, our behavior patterns are invisible to us because they are so deeply ingrained—we are, in essence, swimming in that water. Once we become conscious of these patterns, we start raising our awareness of how we show up in the world and how those behaviors might be hindering us. An intuitive reflection on these patterns with an experienced, empathic coach offers valuable insight and accelerates growth. LSG offers a variety of insightful assessments and coaches skilled in guiding individual development and team growth.
We offer a range of services tailored to individuals, teams, and entire organizations. Explore our core offerings below.
"My aim is to help you and every leader on your team, become more whole, engaged, compassionate, conscious, and effective. By fostering this growth, you'll be better equipped to achieve your desired outcomes. Ultimately, at Leadersmith Group, we are dedicated to making a better world through better leadership."

Our Commitment to Conscious, Compassionate, Effective Leadership
The LeaderSmith Group is a carefully selected team of leadership coaches who share a commitment to making a positive global impact through improved leadership. We believe in conscious, compassionate, and effective leadership as a means to enhance the systems we participate in. These coaches have been chosen to enrich the resources and coaching techniques initially provided by LeaderSmith, thereby expanding the services and providing leaders with customized support. As conscious, compassionate, and effective coaches, we aim to precisely address our clients' needs with targeted tools and enhanced coaching methods.
Conscious Leadership
Conscious Leadership is characterized by awareness and intention. It cultivates self-awareness and learns what it looks, sounds, and feels like to respond intentionally rather than reactively.
Compassionate Leadership
Compassionate leadership carefully considers the impact of its actions, taking considerate action for the people within and affected by its systems.
Effective Leadership
Effective leadership is generative, rooted in a shared and clear vision and purpose, and operates creatively toward a collective design.
Ease & Impact
Leadership doesn't have to be a constant battle, nor should it lead to feeling overwhelmed of burnt out. We help leaders discover how embracing ease can actually amplify impact.

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!"
