WHO IS Leslie Hughes, LINKEDIN PROFILE WRITER & TRAINER?
I’m passionate about empowering professionals and build a LinkedIn presence that drives results.
My goal is to make your LinkedIn profile and elevator pitch a powerful tool that opens doors to new opportunities, attracts the right clients, and establishes you as an authority in your field.
I spend countless hours researching the latest in digital marketing and social psychology, so you don’t have to.
I have been honored with the invitation-only "LinkedIn Top Voice" badge. Only a selected few thought leaders (think Richard Branson, Bill Gates etc,) have been awarded this designation.
This reflects my commitment to authentic engagement and helping people like you stand out in the digital world.
MY (brief) STORY
Since starting in digital media in 1997, I’ve worked with notable brands like Visa Canada and the award-winning Weddingbells and FASHION Magazine.
In 2009, I founded PUNCH!media, one of the first digital agencies of its kind, helping organizations like TVO and The Children’s Wish Foundation (now called Make-A-Wish) set foundational and effective social media strategies.
For 10 years, I was an adjunct Professor at Durham College and have been the co-lead trainer for the Digital Marketing, Social Media Management Certificate program at University of Ontario Institute of Technology.
My approach blends education, empowerment, and entertainment, which I bring to every keynote and workshop.
In 2016, I published "CREATE. CONNECT. CONVERT," a personal branding guide to help professionals grow their presence online.
3 THINGS VERY FEW PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT ME:
- My first attempt at entrepreneurship, I launched “Diaper Disco”, where I converted a nightclub into a daytime disco for kids under the age of 12. Using Social Media and strategic partnerships, Our attendance surpassed 350 people – without spending a single dime on traditional advertising.
- I rode in the “jump seat” of the cockpit on a flight from Miami to Toronto.
- I shot an uzi machine gun and a glock at a gun range AND went skydiving on the same trip to Las Vegas. (aka my “Charlie’s Angels weekend”)
