You'll hear guest host Diane Dimond interview me on the Lisa Birnbach Show sharing practical ways to state your worth in the workplace. I'll be making changes to this page so please subscribe to our newsletter to be kept up with the latest information.

My public speaking engagements and the interviews I do with top leaders for international and national publications provide me with rich resources to help my clients meet the challenges and opportunities they encounter as leaders.

On March 29, 2008, Leigh will be a member of a panel presenting on the topic of "Irreplaceable: How to Make Yourself Count in the Workplace" during the Intercollegiate Women's Conference of Baruch College, part of the City University of New York. On April 4, 2008, Leigh will deliver the keynote address on, "Leadership: If She Can Do It, I Can Do It" at the American Association of University Women's California Convention in Sonoma, California. To book Leigh for a speaking engagement or an interview, please send an email to Info@LTR-NYC.com .

Who are the best resources to speak with to find out the keys to being an effective leader? Leaders who have earned respect for their success. Leigh asks provocative and thoughtful questions of top leaders in their fields and then writes up their answers so you can learn the secrets of their success.

Shattered Magazine debuted in June 2006 and is the only magazine targeted and distributed globally to a high-level professional female audience. Welcomed by Wall Street firms and corporations as an affirmation of women breaking the glass ceiling, the publication recruited Leigh as editor of their monthly e-newsletter, Spyglass. Each issue of Spyglass takes a look at what’s new on the business horizon.

Leigh also writes for PINK Magazine, a nationally distributed publication filling a void for women striving to achieve equity in the workplace. Click here to see Leigh’s full interviews with:

If you know of a top leader you’d like Leigh to interview, let her know.

Leigh Henderson has filing cabinets full of articles, essays, journals, and manuscripts. Many have found audiences with the Los Angeles Times, New York Newsday, and Boston Herald. Her paper, “The Professional, The Practice, the Promise: Summary Findings from the International Executive Coaching Summit III” appeared in the International Journal of Organizational Coaching, as well.

PC Goes to the Ritz is Leigh’s technology fable published for a weeklong series of “Teddy Bear Teas,” at The Ritz-Carlton, Boston. Each day she acted as host and read excerpts of the adventures of PC The High Tech Bear. Without giving away the ending, the story is about how PC worked with the other stuffed animals at the hotel to meet and resolve a challenge.

Material from the journals Leigh’s kept since 1967 were the basis of her poignant and humorous one-woman show Mooseface: Naked in my 50th Birthday Suit. Audience feedback included, “I never understood how you can let go until I saw your performance,” “It must be like taking off a heavy coat,” and “I need a role model like you!”
