Coach Ryane Danielle LeCesne
Hello, love, I am Coach Ryane LeCesne!
I am the Holistic Executive Coach for high-achieving Black women who are exhausted by excellence and ready to rise in their brilliance.
I’m also a proud Black woman business owner, wife, mom, and someone who is deeply committed to making sure Black women leaders don’t have to sacrifice their well-being, truth, or joy to succeed.
I Know What It Means to Be “Exhausted by Excellence”
Like so many of the women I serve, I spent years navigating self-doubt, people-pleasing, and constantly trying to live up to everyone’s expectations but my own.
I know what it feels like to:
Question your voice and value in rooms you’ve worked hard to enter
Struggle with confidence gaps that don’t match your résumé
Wrestle with how to be your authentic self in spaces that weren’t built with you in mind
For a long time, I tried to outrun those feelings with more achievement—more degrees, more responsibility, more “proving.”
What changed everything was discovering the power of mindset, nervous system regulation, energy alignment, and personal branding—not the kind that demands code-switching or shrinking, but the kind rooted in the spiritual truths of living your purpose, trusting your intuition, and creating joy by reconnecting with your brilliance.
My Work: Strategy + Healing for Black Women Leaders
Alongside my lived experience as a high-achieving Black woman leader, I bring over twenty years of experience in both strategy and healing—from Spelman and Georgetown to ICF-certified coaching, corporate speaking, Reiki, hypnotherapy, chakra-based energy work, and mindfulness meditation. I’ve got you and your dreams of advancement covered.
Holistic executive coaching, in my world, means supporting your:
Mindset & identity – Rewriting the inner narratives of impostor syndrome, perfectionism, and “I have to do it all alone.”
Nervous system & energy – Moving you out of constant fight/flight/freeze/fawn into grounded, resourced leadership.
Spirit & purpose – Honoring your call to lead in a way that aligns with your deepest values and spiritual truth.
Strategy & visibility – Clarifying your goals, boundaries, presence, and next-level moves so your brilliance is visible and recognized.
All of you gets to be in the room—mind, body, and spirit.
Who I’m Here For
My work is devoted to high-achieving Black women who are brilliant on paper, but too often feel:
Like The Invisible Expert – The go-to behind the scenes, but not fully seen, promoted, or compensated.
Like The Generational Trailblazer, But Burdened Provider – The one who “made it,” but carries the weight of everyone else’s needs.
Like The Exhausted Perfectionist – Praised for excellence, but quietly burning out from overwork and overthinking.
Like The Loyal Achiever – Deeply committed to everyone else’s vision, while your own dreams wait on the back burner.
Like The Visionary Leader in Waiting – Crystal clear on your potential, but stalled by fear, doubt, or lack of holistic support.
If any of these resonate, you’re exactly who I designed Finesse School for.
Finesse School & The Advance Accelerator
Over the past 20 years, I’ve dedicated my life and career to empowering Black women and girls to own their brilliance and advance with intention.
Through Finesse School, the coaching and personal development company I lead, I offer:
The Advance Accelerator Program – my private coaching experience that blends mindset work, energy and nervous system regulation, and strategic career/business support.
Holistic executive coaching, masterminds, and transformational workshops designed to help Black women elevate their mindset, manage their energy, and advance professionally and personally—without abandoning themselves in the process.
I’ve coached hundreds of high-achieving women one-on-one and led thousands more through keynotes, trainings, and workshops.
As a keynote speaker, I’ve had the honor of taking the stage for organizations such as Walmart, McDonald’s, GDIT, ColorComm, American University, the Chicago City Treasurer’s Women’s Small Business Expo, Corporate Counsel Women of Color, and more. Whether I’m in a boardroom, on a big stage, or in a one-on-one session, I bring heart, honesty, and real-world strategy to every space I enter.
Why This Work Is So Personal (and So Powerful)
The work I do isn’t theoretical—I’ve lived it.
I know what it means to hold big dreams and big responsibilities at the same time. I know the emotional, spiritual, and physical toll that being “the strong one” can take. And I know what becomes possible when Black women have tools, language, and a coach who truly sees the whole of who they are.
I’ve watched women go from:
Shrinking, second-guessing, and silently burning out
toSetting boundaries, using their voice, taking up space, and saying yes to the opportunities that match their brilliance.
That’s the transformation I’m here to facilitate—over and over again.
Beyond the Work
When I’m not coaching, speaking, or building new programs inside Finesse School, you can find me:
Reading (usually something about leadership, personal growth, or spirituality)
Cheering on my husband and our little love bug
On the mat or moving my body, reconnecting with myself
I’m also a proud member of The Links, Incorporated, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, Jack & Jill of America, and the Junior League of Detroit, and I’m deeply committed to civic engagement and community impact.
What I Believe
I believe confidence isn’t something we’re born with—it’s something we build, practice, and embody.
And I believe that high-achieving Black women deserve holistic, culturally aware, spiritually grounded, and strategically sharp support as they rise.
If you’re exhausted by excellence but still called to lead, I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you rise in your brilliance.
