Leslie Farias, M.A., M.Ed.

A nationally recognized communication coach with advanced degrees in Speech Communication and Adult Education from the University of Nevada.

She founded Farias Business Communications in Dallas, Texas, in 1988 and has spent more than 25 years working with executives, judges, attorneys, physicians, nonprofit leaders, and corporate professionals across North America.

Her career includes serving as faculty for the National Judicial College, adjunct faculty at the University of Nevada, and certified provider and trainer with the Forte Institute.

Leslie’s coaching is direct, thoughtful, confidential, and deeply human. She brings structure, candor, and accountability to leaders who need to face what is hard, respond wisely, and carry difficult responsibilities all the way through to resolution.
