Dynamic. Wholehearted. Driven. One of a kind.

Checking off “touch a rhino” from my bucket list in 2022.

Leslie Ford

Welcome!

After a decade at the helm of a nationwide professional services firm, I realized that I was most passionate about helping businesses reach their desired level of growth and success while keeping their company culture intact.

I’ve had a front row seat to growing for the sake of growth and know that in the end, the magic of your business evaporates in a cloud of “success.” You reached the mythical finish line, but did you really win?

WHOSH was born of the idea that every business leader could use some help to create more bandwidth for working on their company.
