While Leonidas trains managers to be effective coaches within the 21st century workplace, he also privately mentors professionals to move past perceived limitations, and to express new career potential over a longer-term commitment.Building in empathy and care, Leonidas takes a strengths-based approach to mentoring, quickly establishing trust and respect for his mentee, guided by a sincere desire to facilitate their professional development.
Of particular importance is Leonidas’ skill in communicating mentees’ competency gaps, while reassuring them, step by step, as they go beyond their comfort levels. Mentees thereafter learn to stack career-enhancing soft skills via assessments, goal-setting, problem-solving, cognitive flexibility and critical-thinking challenges.
Today, having worked with young to seasoned professionals from a wide range of industries, Leonidas believes the need for compassionate, experienced mentors will only increase, remaining at the heart of an agile and enduring career.
