Understand What Drives People—Including You
Helping leaders communicate with empathy, dissolve resistance, and inspire cooperation—without force, fear, or manipulation
When you understand what helps someone open up, or what makes them shut down, you can connect instead of collide. Together, we’ll uncover what others need to feel heard and how to meet them there, so your conversations lead to real understanding and progress.
My Philosophy
Donna LeBlanc, M. Ed., NYMC
I’ve spent over three decades as a psychotherapist and coach, helping people understand themselves—and each other—more deeply. When I began working with executives, I realized that the same principles that heal relationships also elevate leadership.
How We Can Work Together
-
This isn’t about memorized phrases—it’s about emotional precision.
I help you find the words that calm tension, earn trust, and move conversations forward.We work together to:
Defuse conflict with calm confidence
Navigate around hidden agendas or sabotage
Speak to people’s real motivations, not their surface reactions
Turn “no” into “yes” by understanding what’s really being said
