I’m sitting with this 2025 Thanksgiving holding a lot of gratitude.
For the leaders we get to coach.
For the team members who joined us early this year.
For the coaches coming on board this fall.
For this incredible work we get to do.
I spent the weekend watching a lot of junior tennis and talking with Grace’s coaches — people who genuinely love helping kids get better at their sport. At one point we both agreed: we love our work so much, we can’t believe we get paid to do it.
It’s not lost on me how unusual that is. It’s the very thing that keeps us coaching leaders to build lives they’re also grateful to wake up to.
Because it’s entirely possible.
To cultivate gratitude even when circumstances feel heavy.
To feel thankful before everything is “fixed.”
So for those of you who choose growth — and who’ve chosen Interleap as a partner in that journey — thank you. Thank you for trusting us. Thank you for showing up, again and again, ready to do the work.
We have nothing but gratitude for the privilege of walking alongside you.
And as you step into this week, I hope you pause long enough to take in your people and your season. No matter what is pulling at you, may you find the moments to be present, to notice what’s working, and to let that fuel your next.
Gratitude is grounding. It’s a reset and a way back to what matters.
I hope you find it this season.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Leslie
