 Money Coach | Kamloops, BCSpecialization: entrepreneurs and families struggling with cash flow and debt management “When you eliminate worries about money, your life becomes your own.” Leslie's Style Leslie has a compassionate, down-to-earth style that normalizes financial challenges and puts clients at ease. Using a back-to-basics approach, she makes new financial skills feel like common sense, and brings them to life with practical, everyday examples. Leslie's Story Leslie will never forget her first piggy bank and the sense of pride that came with it—far greater than for most kids. In retrospect, she was destined for a career in money management. Her most memorable victories, large and small, were usually of this nature: filing her first tax return as a teenager, landing her first job at the bank, buying her first house at 20, and so on. She worked in banking for 13 years—in customer service, as a loans officer and in any position that allowed her to help people with their money. She later spent 15 years running her own business as a certified bookkeeper, helping small businesses and start-ups get on track with their financial management. However, finances did not always come easily for Leslie. She and her husband raised their two children mostly on one income, and soon learned the struggles of this approach. Between soccer, hockey, swimming and now university, someone is always looking for money. Leslie wishes she’d had a money coach for the early years—allowing her to focus more on her family and less on her bank statements. This personal experience combined with her financial background led Leslie to becoming a money coach herself. Today, she works to reduce clients’ financial stress, so they can remove the worry of money, and enjoy the more important things in life. | Office: (250) 573-0038 leslie@moneycoachescanada.ca |
