Leadership Development

In 2018 Lenny pioneered the 1TOUCH Leadership Conference in Samoa, hosting management teams across Samoa’s government, private and public organisations. As the keynote speaker he presented topics based on “Developing the Leader within”.

1TOUCH has continued to run leadership workshops and seminars for government departments, public-sector organisations and non-profit organisations.

Lenny has been a guest speaker and leadership trainer for the Bank of South Pacific, SkyEye Pacific, the Manu Samoa Sevens team and Vodafone Samoa. He has also served as a mental skills coach for the Manu Samoa rugby team.

His mental skills coaching included leadership development for the management team, chaplaincy and personal mentoring for players. Connecting with each player helped build trust and created space for them to share their personal challenges.
