What Clients Say
Feedback from schools, universities, and organisations across Australia and internationally.
Leon’s focus on professionalism as a filter for AI shifted our staff’s mindset from apprehension to agency. He reframed AI not as a tool that does the work for us, but as a powerful partner that enhances and helps us.
His insights have served as the perfect launchpad for our ongoing internal discussions and a catalyst for how we are shaping our future strategy.
Ian FinnDirector of Professional Learning, The Scots College Sydney
Leon played an instrumental role in helping The Knox School understand generative AI and formulate our AI policy. His ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and accessible manner made it easy for students, parents, and teaching staff to grasp the intricacies.
Travis ParkerAssociate Principal, The Knox School — GenAI Critical Friend
Leon delivered one of the most engaging and insightful sessions on AI. Over three hours, he kept us captivated with deep knowledge, clear explanations, and practical applications we can implement immediately. Highly recommended for any business looking to future-proof.
Erin WhitePractice Manager, Cogger Gurry Chartered Accountants
Excellent insight into an area I only had a surface-level understanding. This session sparked a lot of thought and conversation with the team — a very timely session to inform how we talk to schools as AI becomes more prevalent.
