You took this role to make a difference.
\nNot to feel like you're drowning in it.<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>

You're a smart, experienced academic leader with
\na real vision for what your campus can be<\/strong>, but\u2026<\/p>\n\n

\u2026 the complexity, conflicts, and uncertainty your role demands of you right now
\nexceeds<\/em> what anyone actually prepared you for.<\/p>\n\n

And it's not just your own leadership skills being tested.
\nThe systems around you, and the people on your team
\nweren't built to handle this level of complexity either.<\/p>\n\n

You\u2019re managing all of it. And no one handed you a roadmap.<\/p>\n\n

Somewhere between the competing priorities,
\nthe faculty conflict, and the sheer volume of it all,
\nyou've lost a little of yourself in the work.<\/p>\n\n

The vision that brought you here feels further away than ever.<\/p>\n\n

Leaders as talented and committed as you shouldn't have to figure this out alone.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

And yet here you are. I get it, and I\u2019m here to help.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Hi, I\u2019m Leslie Faircloth

\nDefense Small Business Growth Strategist & Advisor<\/p><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>
I help academic leaders enhance their skills to build systems and strategies that create thriving campus cultures, grounded in insight and wisdom... without the frustration and wasted time of figuring it out on their own.<\/div>

My work is grounded in my 25 years in higher education<\/strong> - as a faculty member, department chair, associate dean, and vice president for academic affairs and dean of faculty, along with my certifications in executive coaching and meditation<\/strong>, and my unique ability to bring healing and calm energy<\/strong> to support individuals and groups who find themselves in situations that seem on the surface intractable.<\/p>\n

Through our work together, I\u2019ll help you transform your institution into the place where people genuinely want to be and work, by helping you become the leader you have always imagined yourself to be.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019re ready to get your time and passion back.
\nI\u2019m ready to help you make that happen!<\/p><\/div>

Let\u2019s Get to Know Each Other!<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>

Ready to become the leader
\nyour campus needs you to be?<\/p><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>

My coaching and consulting programs are custom-designed for academic leaders who are serious about creating a more equitable campus culture where everyone can thrive and are built on one premise: that the most effective academic leaders are those who know themselves, know their values, and know how to move others forward.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are three ways we can work together:<\/em><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

A structured conflict resolution engagement for academic institutions where entrenched conflict is disrupting the culture, the team, or the work.

\"Dorothy creates a coaching environment grounded in trust, reflection, and genuine care. She helped me slow down, think more deeply, and approach important decisions with greater clarity and confidence. Dorothy coaches from the heart, creates space for honest growth without judgment, and leaves a lasting impact through her thoughtful presence and support. Highly recommend!\"<\/span>\n

\"We worked together through regular coaching sessions to structure my job search and refine my professional positioning. I was aiming to gain clarity, improve my approach, and find a role aligned with my goals. I gained valuable insights and exceptional feedback on my. I also improved my efficiency and accountability in managing tasks, and experienced reduced stress and anxiety throughout the process.\"<\/span>\n

\"Following a difficult few years between College Faculty & Administration, we hoped to learn tools to navigate this relationship better \u2014 and we did. Having space to share our perspectives with Administrators in a safe, non-threatening environment was invaluable. The conversation tools Dr. Mosby shared have made a real difference: during a leadership session with Faculty, Administrators & our Chancellor, our campus President cited an example from Dr. Mosby's session as the perfect tool for the moment. Thank you, Dr. Mosby!\"<\/span>\n
