Dawn’s guest today is Leslie Fiorenzo. Leslie guides her clients to find their voice and share their unique story to grow their business. Leslie's unique approach comes from over 30 years spent in corporate environments as a human resources professional. A lifelong learner, she has achieved a number of certifications and holds a master's degree in Human Resource Development.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
To Leslie, freedom is the opportunity to share what you feel is important about your business and being confident in your ability to do that. When you’re scared it makes you stuck and when you’re stuck then you’re not free.
Leslie advocates for coaching to unlock internal potential and prioritise future growth, distinct from therapy's emphasis on resolving past issues. She advises seeking coaching to break through barriers and progress.
Leslie highlights that fear of public speaking, networking, and self-promotion is acquired rather than innate. She supports clients in overcoming these fears to effectively promote their businesses and create impact.
It’s important to heed your inner champion for liberation from self-doubt. Leslie collaborates with clients to quiet their inner critic, enabling them to pursue aspirations boldly and realise their dreams.



BEST MOMENTS 

“Don’t listen to that little voice inside your head that says you can’t”

“Take a step back and ask, does this feel right for me?”

“We just need to be persistent and get up when knocked down”

“Share your light - don't be the world's best kept secret”

ABOUT THE GUEST 

“Early in my career I belonged to a businesswomen’s group, and they held a speaking contest. First prize was $100.  I entered, I prepared and was disappointed when I didn’t win first prize, I didn’t even place in the top 5!  A mentor of mine who was in the audience, gave me the following feedback: “You had a death grip on the podium, did you think it was going to run away?  You stumbled over your words and the two stories you told didn’t connect to the topic.” I was devastated.  It was all I could do to not cry on the way home in a car full of other women. But I was determined to conquer my fears, create stories that make an impact and craft a presentation that would wow the audience. Fast forward 10 years and my then employer sent me to present our safety program at an industry conference.  This time the prize was based on the impact of the program not the presentation, yet when people approached me afterward and gave me compliments on my delivery and the stories I shared; I knew I’d moved well beyond that timid young woman losing a speech contest years before.”

Welcome to Finding Freedom, the show that helps you find your freedom. We will hear the wildly differing perspectives on what freedom is, what it isn’t, and why, how, and when it can be achieved, and also taken from us, in physical, emotional and psychological ways. We will discuss topics that may challenge you, or make you reconsider your own perspective. We will explore the many facets of freedom and the ways in which to achieve it, in life, in business, in love; are you ready to find your freedom?

Freedom for me is being able to express who I am, choose the life that suits me and my personality, and being free from the ‘normal’ expectations of society. I also want the freedom to talk about topics that I don’t understand, but am curious to learn about, without judgement, political correctness, or feeling the need for self-censoring. We can only learn about things if we are free to discuss, challenge and explore.
