About
Leasil Burrow
Minerva Imagines was formed in 2017 by Leasil Burrow. In the first year, Leasil worked with a variety of clients from various industries both in the UK and overseas. Leasil expanded her business by working with a number of carefully selected associate coaches. She takes great care to match clients with a coach that will bring out their very best.
“People always ask me why I chose the name Minerva Imagines… Minerva was the Roman goddess of wisdom and strategy. I think the combination of wisdom, strategy and a bit of imagination can make magic happen. Yes, I know the Greeks suggested she was into warfare but I am going with the Roman version, all about the arts, commerce, medicine and poetry. Good work, Minerva! “
