Lichwalla, President Leslie is a pleasure to work with. She’s a wonderful communicator, and is truly committed to making sure that you are completely satisfied with the end product. She listened to our ideas, brought new insight and feedback, and provided our company with strong marketing strategies to help us grow. We’ve worked very closely with her to develop our own company newsletter, and she also played a large roll in the redevelopment of our company website. She has a tremendous positive energy about her and it comes through in the work that she produces. Tim Capaldi I highly recommend LMK Consulting for all your strategic planning needs.

Kim Fricke, President The Liberty Street reconstruction project in Ann Arbor was a large, complex road demolition and reconstruction project that had a major impact on the community. As the team's public process consultant, Leslie made an invaluable contribution to the successful completion of this project. She guided and greatly facilitated the numerous public meetings ensuring productive communication and understanding among all the parties involved. Lee Fahrner, P.E., Project Manager I have known Leslie for over 10 years in multiple roles – consultant, employee, and business partner. She has good people skills, is an excellent listener, and a practical strategic thinker. Her skills are seeing and understanding the underlying business challenges, and providing practical solutions that bring value to the assignment at hand. I highly recommend Leslie as a Strategic Marketing Consultant. Kevin B. Hoppe, PE, Chairman/CFO SMPS-Michigan worked with Leslie Kusek of LMK Consulting to develop a long-term strategic marketing plan. I was especially impressed with her ability to cut through the clutter and get to the heart of what our organization is striving for and then develop an image and materials to support our goals. Once our plan was in place, Leslie was instrumental in implementing the various facets of the plan. For example, her creative ideas formed the base for the redesign of our website, and all the materials published and distributed by our organization. In addition to our branding and image redesign, Leslie helped us see the value of forming alliances with other industry organizations. Under her guidance, we reached to those organizations and have seen tremendous results. We are now sharing event information and working with these organizations to develop programs of interest to a broader range of attendees. Donna Jakubowicz, President As Marketing Consultant for Ruby+Associates, Leslie has been an invaluable business partner. She has provided leadership in developing our Strategic Marketing initiatives from branding and public relations to strategic client and business development - and also leads us through the execution of those initiatives. She keeps us moving forward. I also had the pleasure of working with her as an SMPS Michigan Board of Influence Member while she was President. She has great ability to lead educational sessions and meetings, engage the audience in discussion and can quickly and effectively summarize key learning points. Tricia Huneke, CFO, We hired Leslie as our part-time Executive Director in August 2009. Within weeks, she had systems in place to organize our board, committees, and activities. She has energized our chapter and has found ways to both educate our volunteers and hold them accountable. She has also implemented an online software package for organizations that maintains the member database, allows online registration for events, and allows us to send out email notices to members. As she has found other ways to improve our chapter she has recommended associates to help move us forward. We look forward to a long, mutually-beneficial relationship with Leslie.

Marisa Varga (Nedock), Business Development Leslie Kusek has been my most important business consultant since being introduced to her over three years ago. She provides prompt, creative, responsive, and insightful solutions when presented with my request for assistance. She has met every deadline requested and has always provided data that results in my work product being improved. She knows the nature of her client’s business thus there is little time wasted in having to educate another consultant. I wish I could afford to be her sole client and keep her all to my business.
