RACHAEL'S EXPERIENCE
Meet Rachael Hover, the Founder & Director of RH Consultancy.
Rachael has been a member of Elevate - The Mastermind for over 2 years and this is what she had to say.
“Leigh's unique superpower lies in her ability to curate the perfect collective of individuals and create a nurturing space for us to think and grow together. This mastermind has been a game-changer for my professional growth and development. I can confidently say that investing in Elevate - The Mastermind was worth every penny, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to elevate their business and personal potential.”
YOUR VERY OWN INNER CIRCLE
LEANING IN NEVER FELT SO GOOD.
INTIMATE GROUP SIZE
That's right. Intimate size, giving your voice space and time to be heard. This circle will give you a sense of belonging and understanding. Relationships will form like no other - you will cherish the connection you make.
TRUE MASTERMINDING
The power of a mastermind is the collective minds of others. Being able to explore with like minded leaders, who understand the challenges of leading a business & team and bring their own expertise to challenges that are unique to you.
100% GROWTH GUARANTEE
Challenging you to elevate your leadership and communication to further enhance your impact and performance. Not only smashing goals, but growing yourself as a leader with the team you need by your side. It is your time to shine.
IN PERSON CONNECTION
REALLY makes a difference.
The hidden insights, breakthroughs & transformations are often found in the informal connections and relationships you build chatting over a cuppa or glass of wine. At lunch, over dinner, in the breaks, on zoom or during powerful retreat experiences.
Elevate is a hybrid of in person monthly meetings at our gorgeous office space at Sopers House, Cuffley & through our virtual online check ins.
Each month your accountability is supported, with access to performance review calls and a private voxer group.
Our most ambitious leaders chose our top VIP access and meet on at least 7 occasions round a physical table when opting for our 12 month support.. This in person access includes our incredible Leadership Mastermind Offsite - Space to Elevate®.
Space to Elevate® is regarded by our leaders as the game changer of Elevate.
Held twice over the 12 months in November and June (you can include this in your trial too), those that add it to their investment are gifted acres of space and quiet to roam, swim, exercise, connect & recharge that creativity. A schedule that is fluid to meet your needs, with down time, facilitated thinking, peer to peer discussion and an opportunity to have private focused time to work on your business, leadership and plans.
The space is carefully chosen and removes you from the day to day; giving you room to pause, close the tabs, reflect and recharge.
Connection, collaboration, fun and relationships are born & built even deeper from this experience.
Shelley's Experience
Meet Shelley Bosworth, the Founder & Director of Shelley Bosworth Coaching.
Shelley has been a member of Elevate - The Mastermind for 12 months and this is what she had to say.
“Elevate does what it says on the tin, elevates your thinking, elevates your commitment to yourself and your business and elevates you. Leighs expertise and genuine care for her clients make this an invaluable investment in yourself and your business.”
The TRUE VALUE of a Mastermind
You may not know what a mastermind is or the value it can give you.
Let me be frank. It isn't a programme, neither is it a course. A Mastermind in its truest sense is a peer to peer group, carefully & expertly facilitated and guided.
It is a collective of brilliant minds who come together with a common goal. You create an incredible high level support network & sounding board for each other. You support each other to achieve goals and mastermind creative solutions to challenges. You mutually share expertise, cheerlead wins & give honest feedback. This particular mastermind isn't a sprint- it is a marathon. It makes no false claims of numbers in record time.
It does promise to provide a special space of support, empowerment and inspiration that coupled with your commitment and willingness to SHOW UP, be open to change and take the ACTION required will in turn elevate your leadership, communication & performance.
As the African Proverb says.
'If you want to go fast - go ALONE. If you want to go far - go TOGETHER.'
ELEVATE is about SHOWING UP & going FAR TOGETHER.
FRESH EYES
When you are knee deep in your business, it is sometimes hard to see the wood from the trees. Fresh and objective analysis will help you see what you might be missing, reach the core of the issue and assist in your journey of change.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Let's be honest. Leading a business can feel lonely. You often feel you are making BIG decisions alone. Here you will get clarity on your decisions, brainstorm solutions, get honest feedback and advice when you feel stuck.
EXPERTISE
Those who join are carefully selected and bring with them a vast amount of experience. When you are needing counsel, you will benefit from this collective expertise and it will help you see things differently than figuring it out alone.
I have never been to a mastermind before and Leigh's ability to hold the room to make a safe space enabled me to fully immerse myself in to looking at what was within me and holding me back from taking the next step in my business and leadership. The intimacy created was mind blowing. Thank you Leigh.
— Zoe, Founder & CEO

Leigh’s Masterminds have had a profoundly positive impact on me as a leader and coach over the last 18 months. She deftly holds a space for personal realisations to be reached, her skilled mastery of asking great questions helps to identify options and actions to take, and her leadership knowledge guides you to evolve your potential in a way that has previously been eluding you. There is a seemingly magical quality to what Leigh does that is hard to describe, addictive to experience and impossible to forget - and I am grateful to have found her.
Beth Turner - Founder & Communication Coach
More Mastermind VALUE..
What else will it bring for you?
COLLABORATION
You are NEVER alone. A collective sounding board in real time. They will know when to challenge and when to support and encourage. You get to tap into each others networks. You work and champion each other not only to achieve greater results, but also to help you navigate the way you feel along the journey.
ACCOUNTABILITY
There is something VERY powerful being accountable to others. You get laser focused to your goals and objectives and committed to making progress every single day. The wins are celebrated and the challenges overcome. Super helpful when you may be making excuses about what you are truly capable of achieving too.
TEAM WORK
Troubleshooting works both ways. Having others help you get unstuck is a game changer. But equally valuable is your contribution to others. Supporting and providing your expertise is rewarding and valuable. Plus through demonstration and strong relationships - business organically gets done too.
"I attended a trial mastermind with Leigh and found it really impactful and powerful, so it was an easy decision to sign up to her annual mastermind programme.
I have loved (and continue) working with Leigh, and can safely say one of the highlights of the programme was our time away on a 3-day Mastermind retreat.
Leigh’s mastermind retreat provided me with the opportunity to focus on myself in a safe space, with an amazing group of business-women, where we all supported and inspired each other. I was able to drill down and focus on the areas of my business that I had not been able to do in the ‘real world”. The challenges, ideas, focus, support and questioning in an environment where we really could dare to pivot and change, along with the time and motivation to actually take action were able to take place because we were all together in a “Space to Elevate”.
I know there are a lot of masterminds and coaches out there, but Leigh has put together a group of perfectly complementary businesses, that she skilfully guides and challenges along our journey. She has this way of helping us uncover exactly what we need to do to get everything ready, ensuring it is personalised for ourselves and our individual businesses. She has lit a fire in each and every one of us to drive our businesses, and ourselves, to grow, evolve and become something that not imagined previously.
Thank you Leigh for being on this journey with me and believing in me - and helping me to start believing in myself."

MEET YOUR HOST, FACILITATOR AND COACH
In case we haven't met before.... Hello, I am Leigh Howes. I’m an Executive Coach with over 20 years observing, partnering, coaching and advising high performing business leaders, founders and function heads, including time working at board level within a Fortune500. Over this time I have recruited and developed hundreds of leaders to fulfil their true potential.
I’m ridiculously passionate about holding a safe and honest space for leaders as they develop on their journey and build a business/career that aligns to their strengths and vision. Achieving higher levels of performance but without sacrifying your soul along the way. I am an advocate that high performance isn’t just about the end result, it is how you feel and what you prioritise on the journey.
My mission is to empower the next generation of leadership. Shifting & challenging thinking and encouraging you to embrace the behaviours, thinking and actions of the leader you need to become. Empowering you to enhance your impact through more effective structures and impactful, empathetic communication. Encouraging you to look inwards to work smarter, with greater awareness and alignment to what matters most to you. I want you to embrace your highest leadership self; happy and fulfilling your highest potential whilst impacting and changing the lives of others.
I am not new to masterminding or facilitation. I have been in a number myself and have run mastermind groups for several years too. I am proud to hold one of the safest, supportive, challenging growth spaces around. The dynamics of the group are critical and I work hard to bring the right people together. My role as facilitator, host and coach is to connect you all at a much deeper level and collectively guide you to your next level, whilst providing a much needed sounding board that both safely holds and challenges you to stretch to your next level.
I am a natural networker and a massive advocate of collaboration. Elevate is one of my favourite ways to work with my clients as it plays completely to my core strengths of building strong relationships, collaborating, connecting & developing people. Part of my secret sauce is my critical thinking; I can get to the root of a problem quickly and come up with innovative solutions to help you take that all important step of action. My famous 'Hot Seat' gives those in my mastermind the chance to get insight, coaching and advice not just from me, but from the collective minds of those in the group too. This is the TRUE power of a Mastermind and Peer Mentoring. It really is an incredible way to move you forward in your journey of growth within a supportive and collaborative environment.
In case you are still wondering if I am right for you - let me add that I have an insane eye for human behaviour (some might say I am little obsessed!) and a knack for seeing and hearing the silent stuff that is holding you back from achieving your full potential. Whilst I’ll become your greatest cheerleader, with a truck load of support and a safe space that you'll feel safe to offload into - you will also get full transparency and honest feedback along the way. I hold my clients accountable in order to stretch their comfort zones, embrace change and take the right action. I’ve been compared over the years to Wendy Rhoades from Billions (well worth a google! ;-)
Outside of work, I am a wife to Grahame, a Mum to two small boys, Henry & Charlie and dog Poppy (a crazy cocker spaniel). I am an ex Cancer Warrior with first hand experience of finding inner strength and resilience when you need it most. I am a lover of the outdoors and our in person time together will involve lots of outdoor space as I believe space and quiet to pause and catch your breath is integral to your happiness, creativity and performance. I will be quick to tell you that you cannot pour from an empty cup and YOU matter first and foremost in this crazy journey of leadership and better performance.
Down to earth, innately curious, mega honest, empathic and super intuitive, I guarantee fun and plenty of belly laughing during our time together. I will stretch & cheerlead & aim to become an invaluable partner and friend on your journey of change and growth.
"It is a safe space to use as a sounding board for your ideas, concerns and for perspective from other's point of view.
I had decided that I wanted to grow a team and in my first 3 months with Leigh, I went from a team of one to a team of 10 other Virtual Assistants. We experienced rapid growth and I don't think it is a coincidence this all happened at the very time I allowed myself to invest in me and my business; after all I was so used to working on everybody else's!
If you need more structure in your business, with strong foundations then let Leigh help you. This 12 month period has been invaluable."
Lindsay Gilbey - Business Services Director

Hear from previous Elevators..
"The mastermind has been everything I needed and more. I often feel that the online space is a little incestuous and that the same strategies and approaches pop up left right and centre. One of the strengths of this mastermind is that there is a vast range of businesses, both online and offline, and so you really benefit from fresh eyes on your business.
In addition to Leigh’s valuable mentoring, the input from the others has been invaluable. Unlike other masterminds I’d considered, it’s a small group and we’ve all got to know each other well. What this creates is a safe space, to get vulnerable and be honest about your goals and fears. I have formed some incredible relationships that I know will last long after the mastermind ends.
If a mastermind is on your to do list, I genuinely think this is the best experience you could wish for. Leigh goes above and beyond to create a sacred space and her experience, not to mention her network of some amazing contacts to help is a game changer! It’s been incredible and I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat!"
Becky Wise - Digital Marketing Consultant
“At a time when running a business feels super-scary, Leigh is there for me every step of the way and I'm so grateful. She's giving me so much support in working out how to navigate this situation and how to adjust my business accordingly. I especially appreciate the holistic approach Leigh always take, encouraging me to prioritise my physical and emotional wellbeing in order to be well enough to show up in my business the way I want to. Any business owner in need of extra support right now should get in touch with Leigh."
Lizi Jackson-Barrett - Confidence Coach & Motivational Speaker
"I am so grateful for this lady coming into my life! I had reached a point in my business where I felt like a hamster on a wheel and had lost all focus, direction and passion. An intensive day with Leigh helped to refocus me on my goals, identify and leverage my strengths and reignite my passion. I gained so much from this that I chose to join one of Leigh’s mastermind groups and the ongoing support that I receive from Leigh and my fellow masterminders has proved invaluable to keeping me motivated and focussed. Highly recommended to all business owners out there. You need Leigh Howes in your life!!"
Samantha Strong - Strong Wills
“Just wanted to say THANK YOU for all the support myself and others have been receiving over the last 12 months and especially now in the current world crisis. Leigh is very selfless and always wants to make sure she reaches out to those in need. Speaking to her and our other masterminders gives me clarity and lots of ideas! I would definitely recommend Leigh and her programmes. If you are a business leader - working on your own or leading a team - it can be quite lonely... Group support is amazing and gives you the energy you need. I also found being accounted to other members is a great way to motivate me. Don't wait if you are thinking of signing up - you will wish you’d have done it sooner"
Kinga Parker - Outlet Residential Ltd
Being a business owner can be lonely as we wear so many hats, constantly make decisions and having to then be our own cheer leader and the person who holds ourselves to account. Being a part of this mastermind has been like having a senior team; a team that not only celebrates success but lifts me up when things don’t go as planned, or helps kick my butt when I just need to get something done. I’ve loved being a part of the mastermind and am so pleased I had the courage to make the investment."
Sally Beckford - Solutions HR
"Elevate - The Mastermind with Leigh Howes has been more than I could imagine and certainly more than I even realised I needed. In a world that seems to spin faster everyday and at a cross roads with businesses that needed reviewing and reworking thanks to an untimely pandemic.
I knew I needed to stop, evaluate and build new and strong foundations. Leigh has given me time and understanding to do just that and surrounded by other amazing business woman I have found the space to truly elevate and rise again with new and exciting ideas all built on solid CEO style foundations.
I now have the space in my head and heart to 'chase the right dream'".
Nicole Louise Geddes - Entertainment Specialist
"I have had the good fortune to be on two of Leigh’s masterminds over two consecutive years. For anyone wondering whether a mastermind is for you I’d say absolutely yes and especially when it’s run by Leigh.
Since joining Leigh my business has gone from strength to strength, I’ve defined my niche and become more focused. As a consequence my business has grown each year and this year I have had the best year yet.
Leigh is very knowledgable and well connected so if she doesn’t know the answer to something she’ll certainly know someone who does. Leigh works hard to create a safe, supportive and encouraging space in her groups and she’s really good at knowing which personalities will work best together. I can honestly say that I’ve not only gained an invaluable network of work colleagues but I’ve gained new friends too. The only downside to the mastermind? The fact that it has to end."
