“I took Leslie’s social media series in Portsmouth. While I’ve been on Twitter, LinkedIn, and the rest for years, I thought it would be advantageous to fill in the blanks. Leslie certainly did that. She taught, in a concise and easily understood manner, the fine points of sm that were completely new to me. And she always made me, and everyone else in the class, feel that we were in charge and could handle any of the technicalities. And as you know, some of this sm stuff changes so rapidly that you can feel at sea in a hurry! Her knowledge of the subject is profound. And her advice is based on in-depth study and broad experience. I came away very satisfied with these classes and would highly recommend them, and Leslie, to anyone venturing into, or further into, the field of social media.”

“Leslie is one of those brilliant people who never seems to stop. She is constantly available via numerous social media outlets, email, and is a familiar face at all of the important social media conferences and meetings held around the state. Having worked with her in casual meeting environments like NH Media Makers, Social Media Breakfasts that she has organized and co-organizing New Hampshire’s very first Podcamp under her leadership, my experience with Leslie is that she is always constructive, insightful and a font of valuable information in her areas of expertise. She is always a pleasure to work with, and brings a level of professionalism and talent to every one of the numerous projects she is involved with that elevates it to a higher plateau. There is a lot that pretty much anyone can learn from Leslie, and I am fortunate to have the opportunity to work with her.”
