Bio
Deborah Liao
Leila was one of the first instructors I partnered with to create courses for Udemy Business. Given her expertise in soft skill topics like EQ, we partnered with her on courses about leadership and management topics. Leila is a very knowledgeable and engaging instructor, as evidenced by her high student enrollment numbers and course ratings, which is why we kept working with her on additional courses. She is also always open to trying new things, so we also partnered with her on various pilot initiatives, and her honest, insightful feedback helped us re-iterate and refine on those initiatives. Overall, I really enjoyed working with her and would recommend her if you're looking for a partner that is an expert in soft skills and game to test new ideas and projects!

Leila worked very closely with me during my time as CEO of Flite. I highly recommend her as an executive coach. Many of my subsequent career and life choices and actions were shaped by my work with Leila, leading to a deep introspection regarding how, where, and why I wanted to spend my time. I am grateful to her for the long term impact the coaching has had on my life and career.

We have partnered with Leila on multiple occasions to facilitate Manager Training, Interview Training and Leadership. She is able to customize her materials and approach every time and presents credible relevant content in a convincing authentic way. She manages to be both fun and informative and I look forward to our next interaction.

I make it easier for people to be the boss. To be the leader. To be in charge. That's my role as an executive coach. If you want to develop into an amazing leader and are ready to learn and be held accountable, contact me at coach [at] bullingtowne.com. I don't like boxing, yet this idiom fits me well: if we work together, I won't pull any punches; you'll get what you need, with no bs and very little fluff. My work has been mentioned by the BBC, The Economist, Reuters, The WSJ, and more. I've been featured by TheInformation.com as one of the top CEO coaches for startup founders. I've worked with leaders all around the world (not exaggerating): I've worked with teams in Singapore, Sydney, Cape Town, Mexicali, SF, New York, Boise, Belfast, and so on. I make it easier to lead with ease. Show less
