Talk for Schools
To date, Leon has given over 500 lectures in schools. Using his extensive experience in classrooms and with young people, Leon presents an inspirational and educational talk for schools. Drawing on stories and images from his travels around the world, he encourages students to think broadly about life and to get motivated to find a passion and purpose.
Illustrated using high definition pictures, this talk inspires young people to persevere with tasks of great difficulty, to reflect on problem solving and risk taking, and above all to aim high, take opportunities and give everything to their endeavours both in and out of school.

Leon's journey is unquestionably an incredible feat; he spoke inspirationally and energetically about the difficulties he faced and the richness of the experiences he had. The talk clearly had a substantial effect on his audience: a number of boys approached him afterwards to ask him questions, and I think he inspired several to consider similarly adventurous possibilities in the future.
Eton College |
Nearly 500 pupils enjoyed Leon's lectures- the feedback has been excellent and many have remarked on the encounters and insights involving local people and culture. Leon has a story telling gift and was able to capture the intrigue and spontaneity at the heart of these journeys. His film clips and images are art forms. Leon encouraged our pupils to discover and follow their own passions.

Feedback from the girls was extremely positive and included comments such as "It was the most inspiring lecture I have ever listened to! I loved the humour ....." and "Absolutely amazing lecture, wish I could hear it again!
