LeAnn receives many accolades from clients on her keynotes and seminars. While health organizations and women groups are an obvious “niche” for her keynote addresses and seminars, her audiences have grown to include all walks of life. Now cattlemen, contractors and corporate America appreciate her message. One CEO summed it up best when he said, "I'm going to live my life differently after hearing you today."

LeAnn lives with her husband Mark in Colorado, where they enjoy their “empty nest.” Two daughters, Angela and Christie, and son Mitch have all “flown the coop.” When LeAnn isn’t speaking and writing, she balances her life with church, gardening, enjoying her three grandchildren and hiking in the beautiful foothills and mountains near her home.
