When Leigh shares those multiple world-record sales growth, launch and brand management achievements in FMCG (CPG), B2C and government product launches, audiences listen! Leigh's global successes and experience in categories as diverse as pet food, pharmaceutical, mining & banking are inspirational and motivational, as well as educational. Richly reinforced with his 13 years of tertiary study in Marketing at UNSW, Postgraduate Diploma in Strategic Planning (London City University), lecturing experience in the UNSW School of Marketing and UTS Graduate School of Business MBA degree course.

Having been in the personal development and transformation circles for over 20 years now, I felt compelled to write this... Halina’s reality shift invitation is without doubt embodied at a soul level which enables her to teach it with profound simplicity. However she has a unique ability to relay her life experience in a method that guides the audience to a powerful revelation via a highly intelligent set of sequences. As one follows the path of her own self discovery from a place of acute loneliness and self rejection into a place of incredible self love and connection, it is literally experienced as a tangible method to apply to one’s own life. What makes it even more effective is the irrefutable evidence she shares as a result of her clients experiencing a similar reality shift by applying her methods. Halina is without doubt a ‘perfect storm’. A lady who had the courage and faith to go where she had to go to achieve her own transformation combined with the incredible ability she has to reveal it in a highly engaging presentation. Halina is one of the great teachers of our time and if her work resonates with you, she is an absolute must see. I have no doubt that Halina is on her way to become a highly respected speaker on the world circuit in her field.” ~Willow McIntosh - Author, Speaker & Facilitator "Your presence was such a GIFT, Halina! You BEAMED LOVE, GRACE & ONENESS (Along with a generous helping of your peaceful WISDOM). Thank you for coming and sharing your heart with us" ~Andrea Pennington, Event Host, Speaker & Facilitator Learn more about Halina and her work at https://HalinaGold.com/speaking
