The BOLD Leader 100 Awards are more than a recognition, they are a movement of leadership in motion. Every nomination, every story, and every act of courage represented fuels a larger purpose. All proceeds from the awards will be transformed into support for three organizations that embody the very essence of service, sacrifice, and strength:

  • Folds of Honor — providing educational scholarships to the spouses and children of fallen or disabled service members.

  • Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors — offering comfort, care, and resources to those grieving the loss of a military loved one.

  • Warrior Canine Connection — supporting veterans with service dogs that help them heal, reconnect, and thrive.

"Leigh's Bold Framework is more than a concept, it's a catalyst. Through my role at Zoom Video Communications, I lead Women in Leadership roundtables and thought leadership events, where her work has helped women identify their core values, confront what holds them back, and reflect on the bold steps they didn’t take, and why.

Leigh empowers you to move forward with clarity and confidence. Her insights have sparked meaningful change in our community and in me personally. Bold isn’t just a trait, it’s a practice. Leigh shows us how."

"Leigh is a once-in-a-lifetime leader, an extraordinary entrepreneur, and human being. In over a decade of coaching high-performing professionals, I’ve encountered very few people with her unique blend of brilliance, drive, and heart. She has an uncanny ability to set bold goals and bring them to life with impressive speed, creativity, and joy, what I can only describe as her 'secret sauce.'

But what truly sets Leigh apart is not just her business acumen, it’s who she is: generous, grounded, and always shining her light to uplift those around her. We need more leaders like Leigh, and I’m grateful she’s sharing her wisdom through her books and coaching to show us what’s possible when we lead with purpose, heart, and bold vision."
