We cannot change what we are not aware of,
and once we are aware, we cannot help but change.
— Sheryl Sandberg, formerly COO of Meta Facebook, currently Founder of Leanin.org

Leadership & Vision Alignment

Without a clearly articulated vision, teams are left playing a guessing game. Once leaders can define their vision and translate that vision to their team, you have gold. Leslie can help with the definition process and help create alignment between leaders and their teams, leading to clear expectations, commitments and deliverables that fulfill business imperatives.

Interpersonal Dynamics/Skills Development

The most aligned, productive and energetic work environments value their team members’ intellectual and emotional capital equally – and that messaging comes from the top. The higher a person climbs in an organization, work becomes more about relationships – I’m talking about some serious people skills. Do you have what it takes? Leslie can help team members build their interpersonal work skills, for the betterment of the entire team.

Leslie helped me learn about myself and discover ways of approaching my career and my colleagues that I never would have identified on my own; I was able to cleanly and clearly articulate my vision and this altered the course of my career.
