Most organizations have the same problem. The people doing the most important work have never been taught how to lead. Leon Thurston Jr. exists to close that gap. As the founder of LT Group and creator of the "Prospect to Leader" framework, Leon has spent 15 years developing leaders across 50+ organizations — reaching 233,000+ people through keynotes, workshops, and coaching programs. His clients include the D.C. Superior Court, Towson University's Nancy Grasmick Leadership Institute, Chick-fil-A, the University of Maryland, and Bowie State University. Leon has been mentored by Dr. Eric Thomas and recognized by Deion Sanders and Ciara. He is the bestselling author of The University of Unstuck. Every person who goes through Leon's work leaves with a personal leadership identity framework, a completed accountability audit, and a signed 30-day action plan. This is not a motivational talk. The room leaves different than it arrived.

The workshop Leon ran for our high-potential employee cohort was exactly what we needed. Practical, engaging, and deeply personal. Three of those participants have since been promoted.

What sets Leon apart is that he lives what he teaches. The authenticity, the energy, and the substance — our employees are still talking about it six months later. That's rare.
