Testimonials
Love your work, Chantal McNaught
– Cullen P. Haynes, Finance Broker for Lawyers
Chantal is someone who I am extremely proud to work with. Chantal’s passion for what she does and her ability to go above is truly admirable. While in Brisbane, she made me feel extremely welcome and went above and beyond to ensure LEAP had everything for our QLS event. At the event it was amazing to see Chantal in action, her bubbly personality drew clients into our booth and she was able to create some truly meaningful connections with clients. Chantal was also an incredibly Chair and speaker in the session “Stand out as a leader in the law”. I commend all her efforts and admire her work ethic – thank you Chantal.

I have again had the pleasure of working with Chantal in her role at Leap. Our firm, Swanwick Murray Roche, uses Leap and we employ 13 people. Chantal understood the need to communicate clearly and effectively with staff of all ages. Her enquiring mind makes her a true asset to Leap as, it only does she come across as a very professional and humble representative, she knows her product well and has no issues in solving problems our staff might have with the product.
