Testimonials from Teachers

'I love everything Lesley said I feel as though she knew exactly what she was talking about and how experienced she is with it all. I have taken a lot on board and I will be able to improve my mindset in many different ways purely due to the way Lesley delivered her presentation and everything she spoke about and how relatable she sounded as she was talking to us about how we need to improve at this age rather than how we should as adults. I really enjoyed these sessions with her. ‘

– Year 10 pupil, Warminster School, provided by their teacher Mrs K Maclaren, EPQ Coordinator and Design Technology Teacher

'The Money Confidence Academy programme offers a different perspective in learning about and managing money, through interactive sessions which pupils readily engage with. The activities encourage young people to consider their relationships with money in the past, present and future. Lesley shows a very different side that I would say even some adults don’t always appreciate fully when thinking about money. I always enjoyed her sessions the most as they were relatable, well researched and catered to the needs of our pupils.'

– Mrs K Maclaren, EPQ Coordinator and Design Technology Teacher

'Lesley Thomas spoke at my event and was quite honestly one of our highlights. She was clear on her delivery, funny, empathetic and really engaging. Our delegates loved her and went away with so much personal insight which I am sure will be changing lives. Wow, what a great speaker!'

– Deborah Laws, CEO Dance Business Labs, supporting Dance Academy Owners and their students.
