Meet Leslie Farias

Leslie Farias, M.A., M.Ed., is a nationally recognized communication coach and the founder of Farias Business Communications, established in Dallas, Texas, in 1988. For more than 30 years, she has worked with leaders in courts, corporations, healthcare organizations, nonprofits, and public institutions to strengthen communication where clarity, credibility, and human consequence matter most.

Her work sits at the intersection of leadership, communication, judgment, and responsibility. Leslie assists leaders in facing high-pressure moments without avoidance, communicating with honesty and steadiness, and leading with conduct others can trust.

She is not interested in helping leaders sound better while remaining unchanged. She works with leaders to think better, respond more truthfully, and carry difficult responsibilities with greater discipline, credibility, and resolve.
