Hi! I'm Leslie.

I'm a LinkedIn "Top Voice", which is an invite-only honor awarded to thought leaders recognized for their valuable insights, expertise, and influence within their industry on LinkedIn
As a seasoned LinkedIn Profile Writer, Corporate Trainer, University Lecturer, Social Media Strategist, and the author of "CREATE. CONNECT.
