We were thrilled when Leigh agreed to undertake the media and PR campaign for the visit of international Buddhist teacher Geshe Tenzin Zopa. His results were far beyond anything we could have achieved, resulting in a great turn out. Leigh can quickly get across the material and tone, and advocate for his clients most persuasively. His generosity in doing this work for Chag Tong Chen Tong Centre shows his values in action of purpose driven communications.

Leigh is an excellent facilitator and communicator. Leigh worked with my team and Board to workshop our corporate plan. Leigh’s skills were invaluable – in making sure everyone felt comfortable to contribute, and ensuring we got through a lot of content in a short period of time. He managed to walk the fine line between driving us to achieve serious outcomes quickly, and making participation enjoyable for all. I would be very happy to work with Leigh again.
