"I had the pleasure of working with Leslie Durham during the end of 2023 while I was on the job hunt. I had known Leslie before during her time as an advisor at GMU but having the opportunity to work with her in this capacity as a Career Coach was so fruitful for me. Leslie had many tools to help me uncover what exactly I was looking for in a job. She had tools which helped me figure out my best skills, which sectors would benefit most from that skillset and also what roles blended my skillset and my desire to work in certain sectors. The sessions which I did with Leslie directly influenced the role that I am currently in, I remember us having exact conversations about a role such as the one I'm in. Leslie always was a voice of encouragement and always made herself available to help out young professionals such as myself who were looking to find their place in the world. I can't thank Leslie enough for her warmth and caretaker spirit. It paid huge dividends for me and my career."
