Former Royal Australian Air Force engineer Leon Purton shares his journey from small-town Tasmania to becoming an award-winning leadership expert and author of "The Ignited Leader" (Gold Medal winner, Axiom Book Awards 2025). Discover why leading yourself is the foundation of all leadership, how to see the shape of people and fit them to problems, and why emotions trump logic in team dynamics. Learn the three dimensions of leadership, the power of visual metaphors, and how to create a culture where people ignite excellence in themselves and others.
