I have over 20 years of experience in leadership development and I bring all that knowledge to life in my talks covering topics like trust based leadership, adapting your leadership style to your team, leading through influence, and more. It's all about leading the right way, I've seen it, done it and now teach others how to do it!
I've attended a number of events that Mr. Leslie has lead and found myself (and others) completely engaged in the topics at hand thanks to his humor and charisma! Rit's style of humor is fun enough to relax the audience but also "serious" enough to get the point across and make it stick. Whether he's training on products or coaching on sales or public speaking techniques, he finds ways to connect with any size audience and leave them wanting more.
Rit is a high energy great presenter. I have seen Rit present in extremely large groups and events. Rit has the ability to engage the crowd and keep the crowd attentive for long periods of time!
I've had the privilege of observing several training and speaking engagements led by Richard Leslie (AKA, Rit). One that stands out to me is his presentation on True North Leadership. He was enthusiastic, animated, and full of energy. His use of space, visual aids, and voice inflection, draws you in. He's a subject matter expert at Tell, Show, and Do. His message is always very clear, and he effectively inspires change in his delivery.
Working with Rit on any training content was always a pleasure. He brought fresh and realistic ideas on a consistent basis. Even taking the training material to an audience was no problem for Rit. His passion showed on all aspects of training.
I have witnessed Rit speak in multiple different capacities. From addressing an entry level sales team, speaking with everyone in the organization, and all the way to presenting at the executive level. In each opportunity, Rit was able to capture the attention of his audience, engage with them, and never let it go! I strongly encourage anyone, at any capacity, to allow Rit the opportunity to speak. The impact that he has made on lives and careers is priceless.
I had the opportunity to listen to Rit speak on several occasions in relation to management and leadership. In a world where people's attention spans have gotten progressively shorter, I found him to be extremely engaging. The energy and enthusiasm he brings to his content is refreshing and leaves you eagerly awaiting what comes next. It's easy to see how passionate he is when he speaks and I was always left with a smile on my face, the feeling of being motivated, action items I wanted to implement in my own business and the hope that I would be able to hear him speak again.
I worked with Richard “Rit” Leslie for a year when he was a Senior Training Manager. We often collaborated on projects that he was leading, and I found him to be exceptionally motivating and talented in all the projects that he undertook. I firmly believe he can excel in anything that he pursues.
Rit has a very sharp and inquisitive mind and will often challenge his peers to ensure that they are creating the most robust learning journey. He is strongly committed to his projects and will collaborate with many people until he feels the project is finished. He assertively addresses problems and exhibits a passion for training with his approach.
He was often asked to digest large volumes of information and create a full training curriculum with little lead time. In doing so, he was able to clearly explain complex concepts to the clients and developed strong relationships with his peers.
He is concise in his creation and delivery of training material and will engage the learners into fun and interactive courses. He is skilled in virtual and in person facili-training and often received the highest survey scores from his learners.
In closing, I am certain that Rit will continue to excel in the Training Industry. His drive, interpersonal skills, humility, and knowledge of this space is some of the best that I have seen in my 20+ years. It was a pleasure to collaborate with Rit and I would welcome any opportunity to work alongside him again.
I asked Rit to address my management team as part of a concerted management and leadership development effort. Rit facilitated a "Creating a Culture of Kindness and Respect" workshop. It was very relevant and timely. More importantly, knowing this was a group of somewhat new managers, he tailored the message using internal lingo, real and familiar examples, and he made it highly interactive. Rit is energetic and very relatable to his audience and infuses just enough humor to make serious topics memorable.
I had the pleasure to be a part of a number of speaking engagements put on by Rit Leslie. He was concise and entertaining but with a comedic flair that kept the audience engaged. He was well organized and had a unique way of explaining his points.
Rit Leslie has the ability to pull you in, make you feel at ease, excite you, and leave you learning a ton (products or soft skills!)!! His intricate approach to preparing for a presentation is thorough, and when involving other people — a professional and fun experience. I could give Rit any topic to present on and trust he’d convey the message intended with star power. Great presenter. Great teacher. Great mentor.
Rit was one of my favorite and most trusted training partners I have worked with in my career. In our time together at TROC he showed himself to be an expert at not just delivering training content in a passionate and engaging way, but being the developer of that content as well. I definitely recommend Rit as a motivational speaker or training leader.
Rit has an amazing, authentic ability to capture an audience quickly and keep their focus for the duration of his speaking engagement. He mixes the right amount of humor with business content to provide an enthusiastic and contagious energy throughout the room. I would highly recommend Rit for a speaking or training engagement.
Rit has hosted a number of my national conferences over the years. He is more than just a charismatic emcee, (although he is that as well), he is an informed speaker in tune with the needs of the business. He has the ability to communicate his message in an articulate and engaging manner that draws in his audience in a way that few others can. Highly recommend!
I had the pleasure of attending a speaking engagement on the Cornerstones of Leadership by Rit Leslie. He was engaging, charismatic and most of all, knowledgeable. He was able to command the attention of the audience through humor and presence. I highly recommend anyone who has the chance to attend any speaking engagements held by Rit.

I am a fan of the "organic experience," so I do not have any special requirements. For larger audiences, I do ask for a microphone and a stage, if at all possible.
