For Leslie, the American dream is more than a metaphor - she lives it. Leslie began her trip down the road to success selling encyclopedias door-to-door. By working hard and remaining faithful to her core values she eventually rose to a position advising a U.S. President on education issues in the Hispanic community. In the private sector, Leslie founded Impacto Group LLC , a market research and communications firm that advises companies ranging from Fortune 100 firms to small/mid-sized businesses seeking to understand the developing Hispanic and women's marketplaces. |
From the man in the street to the woman in the conference room, Leslie's informed opinion is sought by business and political leaders when they want to make the right decisions. She has a unique understanding of the country, its attitudes and mores and is a specialist in developing ways to detect and analyze patterns of behavior. Leslie knows why people think the way they do, how they are shaped by their life experiences, and the best ways to reach out to them and influence their behavior and choices. |
It's not enough to be good - you have to do good, too. Leslie is never shy about speaking up, making her a much sought-after speaker and writer who appears regularly on television and in print as well as in academia and before groups and trade associations. Whether it's her work on women's issues and emerging Hispanic markets or her passion for education and community, Leslie knows you cannot make change without first commanding attention. |
