Diana Bolanos, Executive Assistant

LaResha is the most effective mentor I’ve had in my 20+ years in education. Her personable nature allows her to build incredibly supportive and trusting relationships. I always felt safe sharing challenges with her because she created space for vulnerability and growth. Her guidance was timely, thoughtful, and actionable—every conversation led to real solutions. Many of the strategies I learned through her mentorship have stayed with me and helped me succeed in leadership roles beyond our work together. She is truly one of a kind.

Ada Carter, Principal

LaResha was the first coach who truly asked about my goals—and celebrated when I achieved them. She helped me channel my sense of urgency into building stronger teams and encouraged me to expand my vision beyond school leadership. If you're looking for someone to push you beyond what you thought was possible, work with her. Thanks to her coaching, I had the confidence to join the CBO program—and succeed.

Working with LaResha through Huffman Consulting was a game-changer.
