Who is Leo - About Leo

RESEARCHER / STRATEGIST / BUSINESS MENTOR  / FACILITATOR

I am a Researcher,Strategist, Business Consultant, Mentor, Educator, Coach

My background is in Critical path analysis and planning, Adult Education and Results Coaching.

With a particular specialty using visual thinking to help people solve complex problems and helping people journeying into their next chapter in business, work and life.

With 12 years of diverse education, the past 34 years have been rich in experience in various industries.  From planning in the building industry, marketing in the property industry, business development in the health industry, ownership in the printing industry, ministry, adult education and counseling in the church context to personal development, coaching, group facilitation, training, mentoring, negotiating, solution seeking,  public speaking and guiding entrepreneurs to excel in business. 

All this has given me a unique combination of skills and experience resonating with people and organizations who are looking for direction, those who are wanting to improve their personal and business results, and those  wanting to sustain the personal growth changes they are aiming for in their lives. My  passion is to help people in all walks of life to move from their present challenges to use their own strengths and abilities to pursue and achieve their goals successfully, with  energy and vision for the future.

I have over these 34 years built for myself a passive income which means that the income from my businesses and investments exceeds my expenses.  My Stage One was working for a boss. My Stage Two was being the boss in independent business. Now I have entered my Third stage using all that training and experience, "be wise council".  As I am too young to retire, (as of writing I am 61),  I enter my 3rd stage because I feel I can still make a contribution to peoples lives.

I lead a full life, have traveled on overseas holidays six times, have multiple long weekends away.  I love engaging in knowledge gathering – currently I am interested in Colonizing mars and I love what the Mars Society and Mars One are doing and what Elon Musk is doing in SpaceX, Tesla(the electric Car Company) and Solar City.  My hobbies are photography, reading, 3d modeling, I have done some painting and writing.  My life is full and exciting.
