Leon brings raw, honest, and deeply relatable storytelling to rural companies, events, and communities. Having grown up in the bush himself, he knows what it’s like to face life’s toughest moments head-on.
At just 21, Leon lost his father to suicide. What followed was a decade marked by survival: multiple car crashes, aviation crashes that left his spine shattered and his future uncertain. Doctors told that he might never walk again however Leon fought to rebuild not just his body — but his life.
Add to that the crushing weight of financial and business collapse, divorce, co-parenting challenges, and losing all sense of identity — and you have a man who has lived through more than most could imagine.
Leon's tales is not a story of destruction.
It’s breathtaking and inspiring speeches of resilience, reinvention, and the unshakable choice to rise.
Leon speaks to those who feel like they’ve lost their way, whether they’re on the land, in business, or just quietly struggling behind the scenes. His sessions are powerful, grounded, and deeply human by mixing raw storytelling with practical tools for emotional growth, mindset shifts, and personal transformation.
As as a speaker, Leon understands the struggles that rural people face because he has lived them. He shares the moments that nearly broke him, the hard lessons he has learned, and the mindset shifts that helped him push through.
The people in the audience don’t just listen — they relate. They see themselves in his story, and they walk away with hope, inspiration, and practical tools they can use in their own lives.
When Leon speaks, he challenges the old mindset that says you have to push through everything alone. By highlighting the importance of inner strength, emotional well-being, and the power of connection, new ideas start to blossom. In his talks, he shares valuable tools and actionable strategies that help people move forward.
Leon brings the kind of wisdom you can’t learn from a book because he has lived it. His talk was a turning point for me, as it came with big realisations and AHA-moments. On top of the deeply inspiring story, he also suggested practical ways to move forward in tough times.
