"It was my pleasure to attend Leslie's "Team Building" workshop. Her energy and enthusiasm were immediately apparent and made the time fly by. The interactive nature of the presentation and exercises really drove home the key points and reinforced the training. She also anchored the work by having people commit to 3 changes they would make when they get back to work. Most importantly, she asked for a lot of audience input and participation and worked it into the team building skills ideas. This made the participants feel even more valued and important. Her professional credentials are impressive, but to see her abilities in person is even more impressive. I look forward to being a part of another of her presentations in the near future." - David Baenziger, Certified Business Advisor, Small Business Development Center and Institute for Economic Development "Leslie brings out the best in you! Her charisma and enthusiasm are contagious. Her dynamic and interactive training style allows participants to share ideas openly in a class setting. She uses brainstorming exercises in class and rewards teams based on their contribution, which keeps the audience competitively engaged. She does a marvelous job in helping the trainees to understand the material and apply it in their work environments.

She taught three workshops covering time management, interpersonal communication, and motivational strategies for a local company. This summer, Leslie delivered an outstanding half-day workshop on teambuilding for San Antonio Manufacturers Association members. It has been a pleasure working with Leslie and I look forward to tapping her expertise in the future." - Rosendo Cantu, MBA, Southwest Research Institute "Leslie Hoy is a seasoned pro when it comes to training.

Those are just some of the comments I heard from people who attended the San Antonio Manufacturers Association Team Building Workshop. Those in attendance really appreciated not only the informative presentation, but also the chance to hear first-hand from someone such as your self about the need for teamwork and how to go about implementing a program.
