“I was first introduced to Leila’s podcast almost a year ago by a gym owner I was assisting at the time. He was so surprised that I had never heard of her before because our values and mindset were very in line with each other.
After seeing more of her videos (I’m a visual person), listening to a couple of her podcast episodes, along with watching a couple of her clips on LinkedIn and Instagram - I geeked. I had never found someone so insightful and so aligned to how I navigate within my own life.
Resilience can really build out a person. You can really either fall down a path of success (however that may look like to you) or trapped within your headspace. The mindset it takes to continue pushing no matter the odds to be successful all comes down to finding the opportunities that will get you to where you need to go.
I grew up in West-Adams, LA and attended schools in W-A and South Central where I held myself to a high standard, but felt a lot of the interpersonal issues take a hold of me. After seeing myself going down a bad path and understanding that the arts department within my high school had been under budget due to 2011 budget cuts, I made it a point to move myself into an art’s high school within the downtown district.
I always excelled in math and science, I always say it’s the one language that stays consistent everywhere you go - if you’re bilingual I’m sure you understand.
My willingness to strive for more is not confined to this particular story, but it is the moment I knew I could navigate multiple ‘languages’. Code-switching, right?
It’s the reason, I absolutely love Leila’s approach to anything she does. The way she can breakdown things down to simple frameworks that carry through to several industries and personalities.
As someone who has been in sales within the fitness industry, you’re always reminded of the importance of adaptability. (Btw, gym launch secrets validated the business frameworks and sales approach that I had seen within the 7 years of working at a luxury fitness club. Made me understand why we were so successful when we were consistent.)
I recently sent one of her video’s out to a mentor and former boss that I believed could assist in developing his team along with a way to approach the situation.
He definitely listened, he gave me clear direction and goals to attain to resolve the problem I was in haha
Thank you Leila, for being the voice that drives redirection within tough situations in a way that can help the mentee and the mentor.”
