Welcome to Leslie’s Store

Leslie’s books are filled with insightful ideas and creative approaches to life, bundled with encouragement, appealing wit and immediate application.

Her inspirational jewelry designs bring meaning to what would otherwise be just an attractive accessory. Each handmade piece comes with an original poem or story on a gift card outlining its purpose and significance, from sad occasions to celebrations.

Leslie has a passion for enriching the minds and hearts of her audience members. This value is rooted in her mission to spark spirits, enhance appreciation, build confidence and bring comfort where it is needed.

This website represents the ever-changing domain in which Leslie lives, works and embarks on new ventures. It’s a pleasure introducing you to her “real” store now that you know about her pretend one. Feel free to browse.

Leslie’s first store. Already, at the tender age of three she was tapping into her imagination, happily creating this tiny domain.

About Leslie’s Books

Stick To It

Stick To It offers quick inspiration for when you don’t have time to read a whole chapter. It is often purchased as a graduation or birthday gift, has been used as motivational source for entire work teams and been enjoyed by a few worksite-based book clubs.

Bless Your Stress

All Is Not Lost

All Is Not Lost is a sweet book of comfort for people going through tough times, covering the occasions in life connected to loss of some sort. But it’s really a book about life, about doing the best we can with what we have when facing the unwelcome, unfamiliar or unwanted.

What Clients Say

"There is no one more special than Leslie Charles, CSP. Leslie is a qualified author, speaker and facilitator. MSAE has used her for keynotes, executive round table facilitation, breakouts, team building and private consulting. The best thing about Leslie is that if she cannot help you she will tell you, and will connect you to people who can help you. She is a key resource for me."
Cheryl O. Ronk CAE, CMP, FASAEPresident and CEO, Michigan Society of Association Executives
"When you have a dynamic speaker scheduled for your event and need a replacement dynamic speaker to step in at the last minute, you call Leslie Charles, a dependable, energetic, informative, professional, and reliable speaker! I remain grateful that Leslie presented to our professional group last spring and am looking forward to a future engagement. Don’t hesitate, contact Leslie for your next event!"
Bonnie Stuut, CAPInternational Association of Administrative Professionals, Kalamazoo LAN Director
"We were looking for a unique speaker who isn’t run of the mill. We wanted it to feel like we were hearing a story, while still learning, with an approachable vibe. We got just that with Leslie. She offers practical advice that speaks to the mind and the soul. For those who enjoy takeaways, she’s written books, — some are fun quick reads, others to be used as a good reference. Leslie is real people with real experience, sharing real stories and making a real difference."
Amanda Toy CMP, CTAAssociate Director of Sales, Greater Lansing Convention & Visitors Bureau
"Leslie is a totally engaging speaker! I have had the pleasure of working with Leslie numerous times and she is the consummate professional. Always prepared, on target with the expected message and keeps the group engaged throughout the sessions. Her humor is contagious but she packs serious content for attendees to mull over – long after the event. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again!"
Laurie KoellingRegional VP, Past President, Greater Lansing Assn of Realtors and Women's Council of Realtors
"Charlotte Michigan’s LEAD program gives up-and-coming community and business leaders skills to grow into leadership roles of the future. Our program facilitators are some of the best in the region — and you can’t have ‘the best in the region’ if you don’t have Leslie Charles, nationally known speaker, author and facilitator. We are lucky to have her present our module, COMMUNICATE to CONNECT. The feedback from participants reflects Leslie’s long-lasting teachings such as ‘Got me thinking about word choice, and the idea of yes AND instead of yes, but.’ Leslie has participated in LEAD for four years and we look forward to many more!"
