Our Team
New Chapter Consultants was built on a foundation of experience, mentorship, and a deep passion for helping others grow. Our founders bring together decades of real-world knowledge from three powerful fields: business, non profits, and education.
With strong, successful experience in sales and donor relations, Leslie spent much of her career in the transportation industry, mastering the art of connection and long-term sales growth. Her work with nonprofits gave her a unique understanding of what motivates people—and how to inspire them to take action.
Ken is a seasoned educator with over 35 years in the classroom and degrees in English, Math, and a Master's in Education. A gifted writer and natural mentor, he brings creativity, clarity, and a deep understanding of how people learn and grow.
Together, they created New Chapter Consultants to empower sales and development professionals with the tools, strategies, and the mindset to achieve lasting success—both personally and professionally.
Our Heart
At New Chapter Consultants, we are fueled by our faith in Jesus Christ and we believe that authentic relationships are the foundation of lasting success. We value honesty, trust, and meaningful connections — not just as good business, but as the heart of growth. Our approach is rooted in integrity, empathy, and a genuine commitment to helping others thrive.
Our Vision
Ultimately, it is our vision to be an empowering force for businesses and nonprofits that are strengthening communities and making people’s lives stronger. It is our desire to be a business that has momentum in constantly improving organizations and that gives momentum to companies making a difference in the lives of people.
Our Values
Integrity: Guided by our faith in Jesus Christ, we strive to be a transparent, upright business who exemplifies The Golden Rule and who rejoices in the success of others.
Generosity: We want to be a successful company that is in the habit of helping people
and giving freely to those around us, business and people, who need help.
Empowerment: We believe a hand up is better than a hand out. We want to strengthen
people and business so that they unite and strengthen communities.

"As Executive Assistant at New Chapter Consultants, I bring both organizational expertise and creative vision to the team. A proud graduate of Boise State University, I combine strategic thinking with a strong eye for design. I led the creation of our website, business cards, branding kit, and personalized thank-you notes — each crafted to reflect our mission and connect meaningfully with our clients. From digital design to day-to-day operations, I help ensure every detail aligns with our story, supporting both the heart and structure of what we do at New Chapter Consultants."
