OUR TEAM

Leigh Mitchell helps high-impact leaders ensure their personal brand reflects the true depth of their impact.

For leaders in Human Resources (EDI), Mental Health, Education, Sport, Recreation, and Tourism, the work is deeply human. Yet, many of these ChangeMakers find themselves hidden behind corporate titles or institutional roles. Leigh helps them step out from behind the organization and build a Personal Brand rooted in their “Leader DNA.”

The Experience Behind the Strategy
Leigh brings 15+ years of experience supporting entrepreneurs, grassroots innovators, and Fortune 500 companies such as Microsoft, TELUS, and TD. Her signature approach—Inside-Out Branding—was born from a career spent at the intersection of marketing, leadership development, change management, and EDI. She specializes in helping leaders find the clarity and confidence they need to attract the right connections and build a lasting legacy under their own name recognition.

• Strategic Branding, Social & Websites:

  Accolades & Community:
  A Forbes Impact Top 10 recipient and a Women on Microsoft award winner, Leigh is also recognized as an EDI subject matter expert by Statistics Canada. When she isn’t coaching leaders, she teaches Business and Digital Marketing at York University and the University of Guelph-Humber, or mentors the next generation of innovators at B-Local Ontario, Rise, YSpace and The Prosperity Project. 

Leigh believes that if a leader’s work is about impact, their brand should be, too.
