Creative consulting
for businesses

For two decades Leah worked closely with The Walt Disney Company Italy (which in that period became the headquarters of Disney’s Global Magazines business) not only as a translator but also as an English coach, preparing their top managers for international business dealings, and as a creative consultant, helping them develop local and global publishing products for children.

For Disney’s Magic English brand, she co-conceived and co-authored the illustrated Italian/English children’s dictionary Il mio primo dizionario and the Kids’ Travel Companion phrasebook, working on everything from the underlying concept to the didactic approach to the content structure, from the page layouts to the illustration ideas to the texts in Italian and English.

She contributed to the didactic restyling and creative writing of a series of Magic English readers and helped brainstorm a wide variety of new products for Disney’s global market.

If you’re a publisher looking for new ideas, she can brainstorm and develop engaging products and creative concepts that are custom-made for your catalog.

Leah was my English and communications coach for many years, and her support was important for my international career, both at Disney and at De Agostini. She’s a talented consultant who helped me craft effective written presentations, always finding just the right tone and wording, and assisted me in preparing for my most important speeches in English. She’s a very creative person who works well with international teams delivering new products and services.

Leah frequently suggested creative improvements on my publishing products and presentations, not only in linguistic terms. Leah participates with both her head and her heart, and this makes her much more than a service provider; instead, she’s an ally, a superconsultant who’s always willing to help and is sensible, precise and reassuring.
