Born in the North East of England, now residing in Leeds. ‘Lee from Leeds’ is a creative communicator, with years of experience. Having spent his life and work studying and practising people skills in many different settings such as prisons, schools, a cruise ship (just the once – no sea legs!), organisations and businesses.

But Lee isn’t a “celebrity” speaker, he’s never bungee jumped (while playing the nose flute!) from the summit of Everest, he’s doesn’t have an Olympic gold medal – in fact he doesn’t even like camping very much.

But, you’ll be glad to know that people say he is a great speaker with original content based on solid research, not random ideas. People seem to warm to him, laugh with him and understand his messages. But more importantly if they put it into action the content Lee brings, it does make a big difference to their lives and their workplace.

A lot of his work is still with, and about the world of young people. After all with twenty years experience in this field it has been a big part of his life.

His creative, funny and truly multi-media presentations are a welcome break from ‘flip chart overload’ and ‘death by power point’. His stories make people say “Yeah, that’s me as well!”.

Lee is also the author of six books and loves circuit training, and playing/watching basketball. He lives with his wife and twin daughters in West Yorkshire.

Random fact – he used to be one of the UK’s best hip hop scratch DJ’s!
