Loreley Leonard: Driven By Her Desire To Understand Human Motivation and Empower People
Leonard Has Brought Hope and Encouragement To Thousands Through Her Multi-Faceted Career As An Entrepreneur, Motivational Speaker, Leadership Mentor, Counselor and Body Language Expert
Phoenix, AZ – November 15, 2013 – Overcoming the long odds that face anyone burdened by the extreme physical and emotional pain of an abusive childhood, Loreley Leonard refused to be a victim. Instead, she has not only survived but thrived to become one of the world’s most sought after motivational speakers, mentors to executives and others in leadership positions, business consultants, personal relationship therapists and one of the world’s top licensed micro expression trained practitioners as well as a leading American body language expert.
Based in the Phoenix area but jetting frequently all over the world (when she’s not Skyping with clients), she has shared her natural gift of encouragement to enrich the lives of people throughout the U.S., Italy, Germany, France, Hong Kong, China, Mexico and other countries.
Driven by her lifelong passion to understand human motivation, the former psychotherapist led a recovery group early in her career called “Women Helping Women” – an experience that proved the catalyst to her deepest calling: to empower women to respect, embrace and celebrate the awesome power of their femininity, rather than see it as something to overcome. Having walked too many miles in their shoes, she brings empathy to single clients and small groups alike as a personal empowerment coach, helping business people, married couples and young women find hope as they negotiate troubling circumstances and teaches them to take the moments on the brink to moments of breakthroughs.
Long considered by clients and colleagues alike as an Interpersonal Communications expert, Loreley hosts a wide variety of seminars, where she teaches her students the secret to unlocking their inner potential and living their dreams by coaching them to read body language and communicate for results. The popular events she holds include Mastering Your Relationships, Relationship Bootcamp, Polish Your Pitch and Body Language: the Most Important Secret Weapon in Business.
One key to Loreley’s success in working with business people is her own background as a groundbreaking entrepreneur. The co-founder of a consulting and media group that negotiated joint ventures with American media–like NBC’s Access Hollywood–to provide content from Hollywood to Asian markets, she and her partner were the first American women to take a Chinese Company public on Tokyo’s Motherboard (Japan’s equivalent of the U.S. Stock Exchange). New China Media was the first and only Western-based company to have Chinese negotiated television station landing rights that reach into all homes in mainland China. Loreley and her partners were so successful that Rupert Murdoch attempted to purchase her company.
Another unique gift that Loreley brings to various aspects of her multi-faceted career is her specialized language. She travels the world doing presentations on the importance of reading body language in counseling, sales and business environments—and how to become more effective at it. Her late 2013 schedule includes a seminar date in Vienna, Austria and a conference of over 500 psychologists in Las Vegas.
Loreley’s expertise is also in high demand in the entertainment world. She was a mentor and coach working with multiple award winning director, property master and set dressing foreman Garry Pastore, who has won over 40 awards (“Spiderman,” “The Sopranos”), on the set of the documentary “DeStressed”; she is scheduled to work on another Hollywood movie, “The Wedding Planner” next spring. Pastore has hired her to coach and mentor his crew to help them get their “micro-expressions” down and get their body language consistent with line delivery.
Loreley is also a best-selling author collaborating with the esteemed Dr. Nido Qubein. Her most prominent books are “Blessed By A Broken Heart,” featuring stories about finding a blessing in what we thought was a curse and getting through those growing pains to a better place; “The Secret of Seduction,” exploring the physical and emotional aspects of relationships; “Empty Cradle,” and the short book “Seduction Secrets of Sex Sirens: How To Win and Keep Your Man.” Her work as an author has won her an invitation to the 2014 Expert Speakers and Writers Award Gala in Hollywood in April as well as an invitation to the Garden Film Festival in Hollywood where she’ll be recognized for her work mentoring and coaching on Hollywood sets.
