Coaching
Coaching is for the moments when you need more than information.
You may already know what should be said, what should be done, or what kind of leader or communicator you want to be. The challenge is often knowing how to show up clearly, calmly, and credibly when the situation is tense, personal, complex, or high-risk.
Leslie Farias provides confidential communication coaching for leaders, professionals, and individuals who want to strengthen the way they think, respond, repair, and relate.
Coaching may focus on difficult conversations, trust repair, leadership presence, emotional steadiness, accountability, conflict, communication style, or the ability to read a situation more accurately before responding.
The work is practical, honest, and highly individualized. Together, we look at what is happening, what is at stake, how your words and actions may be landing, and what kind of response will move the situation forward with greater clarity and integrity.
This is not scripted communication. It is guided preparation, reflection, and skill-building so you can communicate with more confidence, discernment, and emotional intelligence when it matters most.
Coaching may be offered as a focused session, a short-term engagement, or part of a deeper communication development process.
Program/Instructional Design & Implementation
Strong programs do not happen by accident. They are thoughtfully designed, clearly structured, and built around the real needs of the people they serve.
Leslie helps organizations design and implement learning programs, training initiatives, and communication-based services that are practical, human-centered, and grounded in real-world outcomes.
This work may include developing a program from the beginning, strengthening an existing initiative, creating curriculum, designing participant experiences, training facilitators, or helping move an idea from concept to implementation.
Services may be offered separately or combined, depending on the scope of the project.
This may include:
Program concept and structure
Instructional design
Communication Strategy Implementation
Evaluation and refinement
Whether you are building a new program, improving an existing one, or translating a strong idea into a teachable, usable experience, Leslie brings structure, clarity, and practical design to the process.
Professional Development: Keynotes, Training, Workshops
Leslie Farias, M.A., M.Ed., bringing decades of experience as a communication educator, trainer, coach, and facilitator, is available to speak at conferences, leadership meetings, professional development programs, retreats, and organizational training events.
Her presentations focus on the communication skills leaders, professionals, teams, and public-facing employees need when conversations matter most. Topics include Communication Situational Awareness, emotional intelligence, interpersonal communication, trust repair, accountability conversations, adapting to different communication styles, and communicating with clarity under pressure.
Participants leave with practical tools they can use immediately to read the moment more accurately, respond with steadiness, reduce misunderstanding, and communicate with greater credibility and emotional intelligence.
Whether the format is a keynote, breakout session, half-day training, leadership retreat, facilitated meeting, or customized training, Leslie designs each presentation to be relevant, practical, and grounded in real-life situations.
Many presentations and trainings may also begin with the Forte Communication Survey and Report, providing participants with a practical framework for understanding communication preferences, emotional intelligence, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Interpersonal Communication Assessments
Assessments provide a practical starting point for understanding communication patterns, emotional intelligence, team dynamics, and interpersonal strengths.
Using tools such as the Forte Communication Survey and Report, Leslie helps individuals and teams see how they naturally communicate, how others may experience them, and where small adjustments can improve clarity, trust, and effectiveness.
Assessments may be used on their own or as part of coaching, team development, leadership training, or professional development programs and include:
Communication Situational Awareness & EQ Coaching
Forte Communication Style Survey & Report
MEIA EQ Assessment
Team Building & Leadership Communication
Workshops & Speaking
Trust Repair / High-Stakes Communication
Forte Communication Style Survey & Report
Leslie Farias has been a certified Senior Provider of the Forte Communication Style Survey and Report since 1988 and was among the earliest professionals trained in this work. Over the years, she has used Forte with countless individuals, teams, leaders, judges, and organizations to help people understand themselves and one another more clearly.
Forte offers a practical, eye-opening starting point for improving communication intelligence, emotional intelligence, teamwork, and leadership presence. Through the survey and report, clients begin to see their natural communication patterns, how they may be experienced by others, and how to adapt their approach so conversations become clearer, wiser, and more effective.
