CEO Institute of Australia

As a mentor Leona was there to guide me on my professional journey, navigating the treacherous, and at times, brutal path of business. However this journey has morphed into something deeper and more profound than what I first set out to accomplish and represent in business and professionally. 

In more ways that one, she has guided me through a process of self-actualisation, discovery and unlearning of who I thought I was into who I truly am. As uncomfortable and prickly this path has been I am so thankful to have had Leona as my mentor.

She is tough as they come, yet compassionate and giving of her wisdom. Leona is a truth bomb dropper, yet supportive when you need it the most. A true warrior in her own right, she is fierce and stoic, and she certainly knew how to shine the light on parts of me that I thought I could hide.  Thank you Leona for helping me reclaim my own inner power and strength.

“Thank you for a fun, thought provoking and engaging session, looking at our business roles from a different industry perspective and drawing out parallels. Your understanding of the brief was excellent with our main business challenges being well linked. It made for a strong collaborative working session the next day and the team interacted better than ever before, agreeing it was their best session ever as a group. Thanks again.”

She’s a great listener and truly understands the ups and downs. I can highly recommend Leona as a mentor. I learnt a great deal from her and admired her can do attitude and courage.
