LESLIE SPEAS
President
I am a senior-level HR consultant with over 30 years of experience—and yes, I’m still sane. Throughout my career, I’ve worked across a variety of industries including financial services, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and nonprofit. I’m passionate about helping people reach their God-given potential and supporting organizations in creating workplaces where employees can truly thrive.
I hold a master’s degree in industrial/organizational psychology and HR Management, along with senior HR certifications and additional credentials in coaching, Working Genius, the Enneagram, Mindfulness, Mental Health First Aid, and Talent Management/Succession Planning. I also serve as a District Director with the North Carolina Society for Human Resources Management (NC SHRM), providing leadership and guidance to local SHRM chapters.
Outside of my work, I enjoy working out and am a “semi-retired” fitness and yoga instructor. I enjoy writing and am the author of 7 Habits of High-Retention Managers, Navigating the Workforce for Christians, and a contributing writer for Forsyth Magazines.
As the primary consultant at InfluenceHR Consulting, I partner with a network of highly qualified professionals to provide flexible HR consulting and fractional HR support, helping clients build strong, healthy workplaces.
