What they're saying about us
TRAININGS
​
Leslie and Peggy’s team building workshop was stimulating, fun, thought provoking, and mind-expanding and it helped us coalesce as a team. We continue to practice many of the activities we learned a year later!

I was so motivated and inspired by Peggy’s training that I walked around the city for hours trying to digest everything I learned. It has been a long time since I have felt so stimulated and open to new ideas.

Leslie taught the staff of my school to dream and think of what we want to improve in our lives. One of my staff members who comes from a very poor background was so inspired she has decided to move out of the squatter camp she lives in and has applied for a home in a low-cost housing project.

This workshop showed me beyond a doubt that creative practices bring people together, bond us almost instantly, and overcome barriers of race, age and walk of life. I will definitely use this in my work.

Leslie’s workshop on friendship for my 4th and 5th graders had a lasting impact for the rest of the year. Looking at the beautiful Friendship Trees we drew helped the children work out their problems when disputes erupted.

Thanks to the facilitation skills I learned at Peggy’s training, I had the confidence and skill to lead an engaging month-long training for midwife leaders in Sialkot, Pakistan. The Pakistani education system is very rote and dry, so for these vibrant, lively women, the creative facilitation approach was such a thrill—and the learning was just that much more effective.

Leslie’s workshop provided new and fresh ways of looking at our personal stories. I gained so many rich activities and resources to take home to continue my own journey and to use with my clients.

Peggy was fabulous. Our performance art activity brought out the best in people and brought out the best spontaneous group dynamics I have ever experienced. I can’t wait to integrate the activities from this magical workshop into my service.

Peggy’s speech was excellent. One of our youth members told me how inspired he was by what Peggy said about the need for adults to be respectful and egalitarian with teenagers. He and his friends are hungry for that, as we adults all wish to be more connected to them.

COACHING
​
Once a week, Leslie took me on a metaphorical stroll out of the dilemmas and demands of my job so I could look at things differently, lower the drama and go happily back to the hubbub. The images we came up with fortified my resolve, encouraged my rebellious side and fired up my imagination.

In my coaching with Peggy I identified several goals that I was hoping to accomplish. Each of them came to form in amazing ways. Most amazing of all, I found and purchased my perfect home easily within a few months of our coaching sessions.

Leslie has the wonderful ability to help a person achieve clarity and cut through to what is essential. She helped provide perspective and gave me the tools to achieve my external goals as well as access that which lies underneath what motivates me.

As a result of coaching with Peggy, I have transformed my life in ways I could never have imagined. After reaching a low point in my life, my husband and I are now living an adventure on the other side of the world. I am teaching in an international school and living a very exciting and fulfilling life.

Leslie’s coaching has been extremely valuable in developing ideas and strategies for dealing with the issues I was having in business and my personal life. I recommend her to anyone who would like to improve their personal relationships and make their management style more effective.
