Leil has devoted her professional life to helping people become more effective communicators in business, social, and romantic relationships.

The passion she brings to her writing and speaking on communication skills can be traced to childhood when she suffered almost debilitating shyness which lasted right through college. After being a teacher for six years and still feeling socially insecure, she decided to leave the teaching profession and work only in situations which put her in constant touch with a wide variety of individuals. Here is a short history of how she gained her insights and share them with the world.

After working with elementary school children, she decided to take the first step toward her goal by becoming an international flight attendant to feel at ease speaking with adults from all over the world. Still shy in front of crowds, however, tried acting to become confident on stage in. But, although she was very successful (even starring in a Broadway show,) she wasn’t satisfied simply speaking from a playwright’s script. To become comfortable addressing large audiences with her own “script,” she became a cruise director on ships traveling around the world. That exhausting experience of dealing with people almost 24 hours a day, she said, would cure anyone’s shyness!

Between trips, Leil worked as substitute host on New York’s #1 radio talk show. Interviewing celebrities and political figures is how she became confident talking to anybody about anything.

After decades of communicating with all types and ages of people, Leil decided to write and speak to groups to share her knowledge with the public. Leil now conducts seminars for Fortune 500 companies and speaks at conventions, but her favorite type of communicating is still one-on-one talking with people.

She has written ten books, many of which have been translated into 26 languages. The best selling ones include: “How to Talk to Anyone,” “How to Instantly Connect with Anyone,” Good-bye to Shy,” “How to Be a People Magnet,” and “How to Make Anyone Fall in Love with You.”

Betting on Mónica is betting on excellence, practicality and quality of content.

Robert Kennedy III (RK3) is a leadership communication expert, international keynote speaker, corporate trainer and best-selling author. For the past 10 years, RK3 has spoken for and worked with some of the world’s largest companies, associations, government and faith-based organizations. Notable clients include AARP, Social Security Administration, Comscore, U.S. Coast Guard,  and many others.

Robert believes what he teaches with every cell in his body. Audiences feel it, soak it in and leave with actionable ideas they can immediately begin to implement for amazing results.

Robert cares about the audience members and involves them in every presentation. They will clap, yell, talk back, wave and maybe even break into song. They will walk away feeling like they have had an experience. He will also get to know members of your group BEFORE, during and AFTER each presentation.

As a former classroom teacher, course developer, voiceover artist, and even radio news anchor, he understands the ins and outs of communication and leadership from a few different perspectives. (Oh and he is also a PK (Preachers Kid))
