I attended your training program with the Oregon Association of Water Utilities and I really enjoyed it.  It was a tremendous class.  You're [Leslie is] talented, educated, a good communicator, and people related to you very well.  You have {Leslie has] a way of making them feel at ease.  You impressed me with your sharp, witty, professional image.

Leslie did an excellent job presenting to us the concept of teamwork.  She possesses a delightful balance of professionalism, creativity, and playfulness.  I was very pleased with her content, preparation, and presentation style, and have received excellent feedback from the nurses who were present.  I have appreciated Leslie's dedication and insightfulness over time and highly recommend her to your group.

Leslie is an excellent trainer for a variety of reasons.  Her positive, friendly and supportive manner helped me to take risks and relax in the class as well as in trainings I've conducted for my job [since taking her class].  Her flexibility and humor created a non-judgmental environment for all involved.  I appreciated the resources and all of the information she brought to class.  Leslie accommodated all of the participants and helped create group cohesiveness as well as individual development.  This was an incredible class!  I feel renewed and ready to move along [in my training career].

The whole business world could use your magic. Thank you.

Leslie, thanks so much for being with us at our staff retreat.  You have helped us realize and see visually our team dynamics and how we can work even more effectively together.  You are a very good speaker and facilitator and we would love to have you come back again.  Consider yourself invited.

We again wish to say thank you for the hard work you put into training and speaking for city and utility personnel who attend our conference.  Your practical training provides us with challenges and tools, which not only help each attendee but also benefits their employees.  We are privileged to note that you are indeed part of the Rural Water family.  Again thank you for your professional training and encouragement.  We look forward to your part in [continuing] making our conferences successful.

Leslie dissolved any resistance to group strategies.  She gives wings to community building at a tough time in the life of our group.  You listened with surgical precision and responded with soul.  I look forward to having you work with our cohousing community anytime.

This was a very positive learning experience for me.  You organized the tools of communication comprehensively and visually.  We had fun learning and have recognized that communication skills are an on-going process.  I also appreciated your never-ending sense of humor and your ability and willingness to bring your personal experiences into the class discussions.  It was definitely worth the price of admittance!

When I left our class I felt very well 'fed'.  Somehow your classes always touch my heart as well as my brain.  I have observed your teaching style and your natural honesty and sweet sense of humor are a powerful combination.  I give you an A+.

I would like to celebrate your light hearted approach, your superb skills as a facilitator, the respectful, open tone you set for our group and your willingness to share your life lessons with us to enrich our learning.  Thank you, Leslie for another wonderful learning experience.
