For Meeting Planners

Whether the venue is a keynote or workshop, Leslie's presentation on “Why Is Everyone So Cranky?” has intrigued audiences across North America. Thanks to her prescience (or blind luck), the ten social trends outlined in her book are as relevant today, perhaps even more so, than when the book was written. Leslie's mission is to assist people in their futile search for peace and substance in a stressful, sound bite world.

In both her speaking and writing, Leslie has a knack for putting an original and understandable spin on ideas that might otherwise elude us. With eight books to her credit, Leslie specializes in presentations based what she's written. She doesn't have just one “canned” speech: she only speaks on what she knows and practices. Leslie will work closely with you to deliver a meaningful, fresh, real-time message for her audiences.

If you are looking for an enlightening, amusing, humorous, and thought provoking presentation by a speaker who will leave audience members talking about the subject long after your event, call Leslie Charles.

Leslie's current offerings, creatively designed for general and business audiences, are all connected to the books she's written.

Comfort and Hope for Bereavement Groups

When it comes to grief and loss, Leslie has faced the worst: the accidental work death of her 21 year old son, Robbie, who was killed in 1984. Her grief book, “All Is Not Lost,” written with a quiet but authoritative grace, has brought comfort to many. Since 2001 Leslie has been a speaker at the Melanie Ilene Rieger Conference Against Violence in Waterbury Connecticut, cosponsored by Survivors of Homicide.
