Navigating to Resolution
Facilitated by
Leslie A. Saucedo, JD
Every interaction is an opportunity for growth and understanding.
LAS Professional Services provides mediation, facilitation, training, and organizational consulting designed to help individuals and organizations strengthen communication, build trust, and create lasting change.
Challenges We Help Resolve
Conflict can happen anywhere—between colleagues, within teams, or for entire organizations—and creates opportunities for growth and resolution. When people don’t feel heard, efficiency and productivity suffer based on a lack of confidence and trust.
Enhanced understanding is always possible—in skills, experience, and communication—and can be gained through training, facilitation, or an assessment. When understanding is advanced, individuals and organizations strengthen trust, work efficiently, and create an inclusive workplace.
LAS Professional Services helps clients establish a foundation for clear, respectful communication. With guidance rooted in inclusion, integrity, and compassion, we create the structure and support needed to increase understanding and move to resolution.
Because finding resolution begins with being understood.

Prior to that, she held leadership roles at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and litigated at both the U.S. Department of Commerce and private law firms.
