"I've worked with Leigh Durst in several capacities over the past decade: As a writer and speaker, as a CX/UX consultant, and as a digital strategist. That fact that I've hired her more than once should speak volumes. But in case you need it said more directly: She's smart, motivated, and (not unimportantly) a clear communicator who sets clear expectations and delivers on them beautifully."

"In a word, Leigh is "exceptional." ... I had the pleasure to work with and be mentored by Leigh on a large initiative for a major pharmaceutical company. Collaborating with her was inspiring... (and) made me a better consultant.... from digital transformation to organizational strategy, requirements to UX and CX, process design to her understanding of technical strategy and trends.... (our) team became stronger ...because we had an opportunity to collaborate with her. I'd work with Leigh any day of the week. "
