I worked with Lesley during a major corporate expansion. During that time, I was overseeing the HR side of things while she was leading the Corporate Projects team responsible for managing all the different projects.  We worked closely together on recruitment, staffing, and onboarding, and I was consistently impressed by her leadership skills.

Lesley has a natural talent for project management. She is exceptionally skilled at managing multiple large-scale projects and interfacing with key stakeholders and external partners. She also has a deep understanding of the business cycle, including contracts and finance.

Lesley is highly detail-oriented and will always bring people back to the details if she thinks they are being missed. She is also a very hard worker and very dedicated to her work.

~Lyndsie Gangnon, former Director HR, WCMRC

Lesley is a highly skilled project leader with a unique talent for connecting and engaging with people. She listens carefully to what people say and retains the important parts of their message. She then processes this information and turns the ideas into actionable plans that she can share – generating healthy discussions where everyone can contribute their thoughts and opinions. This approach results in better plans, with a higher level of engagement – and explains her successful track record as a project leader.

One of her most significant achievements was managing a project to introduce a modern maintenance management system at a conservative marine industry company. Despite meeting stiff resistance to change and a deeply entrenched desire to hold on to the old ways, Lesley faced these encounters head-on, and her ability to engage and connect with front-line staff helped her overcome the challenges. Lesley's project management skills, coupled with her people skills, helped her deliver outstanding results despite the difficult circumstances.

Overall, Lesley is an exceptional project leader who can turn ideas into actionable plans and bring everyone on board with a project's vision. If you're looking for someone to manage your project and ensure its success, Lesley is the right person for the job.
