Bio
Lisa Barnstrom, MBA
Leslie is an incredibly competent instructional designer, with an outstanding knowledge of both the theory and reality of designing effective, engaging training materials. She works quickly and accurately, and constantly exceeds expectations. Leslie is also one of the most steadying influences I have worked around. She is calm, steady, rational, and always has a level head, which makes her a pleasure to work around. Not only that, but she has a great sense of humor. Leslie is always willing to share her knowledge and her positive attitude with anyone. I would strongly recommend Leslie without reservation for whatever job she sets her mind to, and would personally love to work with her again.
Bonnie Taylor, EdD
I have collaborated with Leslie in multiple capacities, primarily in the analysis and design of instructional products and in project planning. Her input in determining the resource and information needs for a large telecommunications training initiative turned out to be crucial to the completion of the project. It was really one of those situations where she was the right person in the right place at the right time to propel the work forward. I can't imagine that anyone else could have stepped in, persevered, and delivered any finer results. I look forward to following Leslie's career to see the continued success that is her due. I would certainly work on her team whenever the opportunity was available.
