About the Founder
Hey there! My name is Lesley, and I am the founder of CO|OP R & R. My journey uniquely blends hospitality and creative writing. After pursuing my writing dreams, I integrated my experience into an online platform focusing on leadership, communication, and teamwork building.
I specialize in creating online courses for new managers in high-pressure departments like Food & Beverage at union hotels. I understand the challenges of starting a career in hospitality, and my courses offer essential tools to help new managers begin their careers successfully.
Initially, I never imagined that training hospitality sectors in leadership, communication, interpersonal skills, and personal development would be my niche. However, I've found great satisfaction in helping hundreds of managers and their teams succeed in their roles.
In my free time, I love spending time with family and friends, reading, and exploring new restaurants and cuisines. I also share my culinary adventures and food insights on my blog, Pour & Fork.
