What Leigh's clients say...
"Lesleigh has gone to a lot of trouble to try and work with me to capture my style, beliefs and fundamental messages, over the last week and build them into the presentation I gave today. After the dry-run on Wednesday, Lesleigh has really captured the key points out of the discussion and built some key points that I was then able to expand on.
Lesleigh assisted me in my preparation for the presentation and helped me focus on the key impression I wanted to leave the audience with. I have really appreciated all the support and assistance Lesleigh has provided and I believe the results of my part of the presentation are in large part attributable to her."
- Manager, Queensland Health
"Lesleigh managed the stakeholder engagement strategy, planning, and execution for a range of projects of national significance at NEHTA. I was the project manager for two of those projects. Lesleigh's support and management of the stakeholder engagement for my projects was outstanding. She successfully navigated the very difficult, and at times politically-charged landscape of national eHealth stakeholder issues. Lesleigh has a tireless work ethic, is highly productive and sets herself a very high standard of excellence. She understands how to bring stakeholders along on a journey of understanding and is dedicated to delivering successful outcomes through the programs that she is involved in. Lesleigh takes the time to learn the subject matter and does so very quickly. In addition to her outstanding stakeholder engagement skills, Lesleigh also happens to excel in clear, concise and effective written communication."
- Project Director, NeHTA
