Keynotes and Workshops and Training…OH MY!
A self-proclaimed “social media and AI nerd", Leslie spends most of her spare time either researching or connecting online.
Beginning her journey in the digital landscape in 1997, and then diving deep into social media in 2006, Leslie loves to marry practical strategies and the social psychology behind how people connect with sales and marketing initiatives that help to generate more awareness and convert higher paying clients.
Her talks are highly energetic and packed with ACTIONABLE steps to ensure everyone feels empowered and motivated to make changes to their online presence.
As a former Adjunct Professor of Social Media, she finds her toughest crowd to be the next generation. They know how to use Social Media for personal use, but they don’t know how to use it for business.
