About Leah Hoppes
Marketing Coach | Author | Speaker
in a nutshell . . .
I developed my marketing expertise over the course of 15 years in industrial marketing working for multi-billion dollar organizations. As a former product and brand manager, I held global responsibilities and had cradle-to-grave responsibility for my products.
Now, as a business owner myself, I’m able to relate to the challenges that small business owners face while still leveraging the best of what I learned from that corporate experience.
In 2009 I had a Vertebral Artery Dissection which caused 3 strokes – one of which was a massive stroke – and I was air-lifted from a Level 1 Trauma Center to UW-Madison where they had a stroke team waiting for me. I wasn’t expected to live through the night.
Fast forward a decade and I’m a business owner, author, speaker, trainer, marketing coach, and even a step-mom:) – and ever so grateful for the extra years!

What I’m writing . . .
Faith Stories
Non-Fiction | Christian Devotions | Christian Self-Help
I’m continuing my quest to help simplify subjects that many find overwhelming and intimidating and I wanted to extend that to the subject of digging into scripture and understanding how to apply it to our lives. I’m in the process of writing two different books. The first is a Christian devotional book full of real stories, some silly – some serious, that show how relevant scripture is even in today’s world. This project has been on my heart for many years and with two books under my belt, I have the confidence and expertise to produce something even more meaningful.
The second book is more serious in nature. This one focuses on my background of overcoming those over-functioning and enabling behaviors which go hand in hand with not being able to set boundaries. It’s a book of hope, healing and restoration that can be found when we finally abandon all other means and run to Jesus.
