Rave reviews from attendees...
CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA
"I recently had the pleasure of attending an event where Leon was the keynote speaker. Not only did I find him to be incredibly knowledgable in his field, he was also very engaging, entertaining and rattled your cage to make changes in your business. He does a fantastic job at making you realise that you need change now and then leaves you with the required tools to implement and act on it."
DIILON JEAREY // CEO - Kilowatt

"I wish to thank you for the highly motivational and inspirational presentation about not bull….t ourselves. The members realized as you rightly say that there is something we could do to get us leaping our sales. Some members reported that they are not looking at web sites in the same way. Words used by our members to describe your presentation speaks for itself: very dynamic, insightful, practical learning, online presence is seen through a different ( profitable ) angle and an eye opener!!"

I’m grateful you took the time to review our websites briefly and gave us strategic guidelines on how to improve our image, message and find our uniqueness to sell / tell the world. I have already taken on board your suggested changes for our website and have the team working on this."

"Knowing Leon Lategan for more than just his ability to be a great speaker, I am aware that his source of information comes with years of his own experience. His topics are therefore to the point and he holds no punches. He also takes the time to research his audience and their businesses where possible and uses live cases to drive home his message. That is extremely valuable and can mean the difference between success and near success, or even failure. His delivery is engaging and interactive and therefore never boring."
WAHEED ADAM // Group Chief Executive - Prime Group

"This was one of the most insightful workshops attended. The business model you presented for growing businesses has definitely given us a new insight on how to look into things and to try and optimize our productivity. The whole workshop was great, straight to the point, and fun."
