Thank you for the invitation to the conversation between you and Jenn Harper, founder of Cheekbone Beauty. It was one of the best entrepreneurial interviews (with some sensational wisdom) I have experienced in years. I am a big fan of you, your work at ChangeMaker Leader Podcast, Jenn, her products, and her commitment to the environment and the First Nations communities. Knowing that great women of principle like you and Jenn lead the way for many others gives me great optimism for the future.

A big shoutout to Leigh for the work she has done building the Women in Biz Network and for the value she delivers in terms of monthly events and the expert professional mentoring network. I have turned to a couple of the mentors for advice as a new side-hustler. This helped me think bigger picture about some digital marketing I was investing in and saved me time and money. On the job connection front, I’ve also personally benefited from Leigh’s vast network of employer connections. In fact, my current consulting contract is a direct result of Leigh’s employer connections and her recommendation to go after this role.

Networking Training

Our “Her Own Boss” participants had a great time during Leigh Mitchell’s presentation. She conveyed her wealth of knowledge engagingly and clearly, in a way that spoke to all different types of businesswomen in our group, no matter their age or background. Leigh shared some great lessons and best practices for anyone looking for a business mentor or to expand their network. Some of her shared strategies include: telling your story, being in places where you can meet new people, making it easy for others to reach out and connect. The presentation was an overwhelming success! Leigh had an answer for every tough question, and she was so engaging throughout that not one participant later said they got distracted or lost interest! We received positive feedback from all our participants, and Leigh got rave reviews.

Personal Brand & LinkedIn Training

Leigh delivered a powerful, information-packed LinkedIn session for us at Company of Women. She took the time to find out what everyone wanted to learn and then was able to weave that information info her presentation. The women appreciated her generosity in sharing what she knew and helping them get better acquainted with the platform. I would highly recommend Leigh.
