Bio
Jenni Dones
As part of a consultant team working with a large global company, I have worked with Leslie as a co-facilitator and on curriculum design. I will preface my comments by saying that working through Covid with Leslie amplified her skills – both soft and technical – and it allowed me the opportunity to see Leslie in action in the virtual environment. Leslie is a true collaborator who works well with others to reach goals. As a facilitator, in person and virtually, Leslie adapts when things don't go as planned. She draws on previous business experience to make content relevant and engaging. She is always thinking in terms of creating inclusive and safe learning spaces where learners can take risks, be vulnerable, ask for feedback and coach each other. As a curriculum designer, Leslie structures content in a way that drives clarity, ease of understanding and has impact.

I had the pleasure of working with Leslie for 6 years through various consulting projects. She is an exceptional facilitator, coach and teacher. Her passion for leadership development, EQ & Mindfulness bring a unique edge in her ability to connect with employees as well as teach in a way that resonates strongly with participants. I've found her to be energetic, positive, flexible and has a continued desire to learn/improve. I strongly recommend Leslie for any position that involves HR, training/development, employee relations, project managment or sales.
