• Do you feel frustrated that you can’t have a greater impact in the world?
With over two decades working with organizations, LeAnn has a dynamic solution based on the proven principle that people strong in mind, body and spirit are happier, healthier and more productive.
Referred to as “life-changing,” LeAnn fuses true stories and life balance strategies to impact audiences leaving them renewed and recommitted to improving their professional and personal lives.
LeAnn’s story of being “accidentally” caught up in the Vietnam Orphan Airlift in 1975 inspires people as they learn tools to care for their minds, bodies and spirits to cope in the war zones of their lives. An ordinary person, she struggled through extraordinary circumstances during her daring adventure of helping to rescue 300 babies as Saigon was falling to the Communists. Her books, This Must be My Brother and Balancing Life in Your War Zones recount that adventure and life lessons learned.
