Whether in the travel industry, corporate leadership, or emerging digital platforms, his work reflects a single mission: to guide people toward horizons they may not yet see, but are fully capable of reaching
A Journey of Reinvention Life doesn’t always move in a straight line. After years of international success, John-Leslie found himself at a crossroads, faced with the humbling challenge of starting over. Instead of resisting change, he leaned into it. The reset led him into the travel world, where he discovered new ways to serve people—and eventually rose to become a Master Cruise Counselor. That season reminded him that reinvention isn’t about losing who you were; it’s about finding new ways to let your gifts make a difference. Today, his journey fuels a mission to help others reclaim their destinies, chase their dreams, and create meaningful change.
Remember, with Les, it's all about more unforgettable experiences!
