Leyah Valgardson

Leyah Valgardson is the founder of Leader’s Voice, a women’s executive leadership coach, and feminine culture champion. Leyah had spent 15 years of her career in a male-dominated industry trying to play a “man’s game,” only to realise that she would never truly win. She determined that the key to leading change was in owning the power of her unique, feminine voice. Leyah’s success with honing and using her inherent leader’s voice led her to the highest ranks of leadership positions in her corporate career. Knowing that her experience could be beneficial to other professional women, Leyah left her corporate position in 2018 to start Leader’s Voice. Leyah helps women advance in their careers by mastering and expressing their unique leader’s voice – empowering them to become valued, effective change leaders within the workplace.
