What people say about us

Christine from Geared2solve influences people positively to be the best they can be. Her calm approach to problems is by far one of her key outstanding characteristics. Her obvious intelligence and street smarts have on various occasions benefited both her employer, but more so those she directs in achieving objectives that sometimes seem impossible to others to achieve.

Hernus Vermeulen

Thank you so much Leana for your help. I recommend the services of Geared2solve to anyone who seeks help in terms of coaching. Leana definitely helped me to start my career at my dream company!

Waldo Cilliers

Leana has been one of my informal business and personal coaches for the past ten years. She is always thorough when explaining concepts and giving practical examples and exercises. Her approach is human-centred and systemic at the same time that works perfectly for me. Her advice is always pragmatic but in a reasonable and fun way. She is excellent in assisting her coachees to re-package themselves using the Gallup Strengths. I can recommend her skills and approach to anyone. With her background in HR and business, I am sure she will be able to assist anyone with their personal and professional challenges. I am looking forward to a continued formalised relationship.

Christine Breet

It's very rare to come across a person with an ability to spot potential from a mile off and actually find ways of unleashing it effectively. That's what Leana Leonard has done for me over the past 4 years where she managed to identify my strengths and ways to use those to achieve my professional and personal goals in an effortless, creative and fun manner. Every interaction with her through our coaching sessions leaves me feeling positive and ready to tackle any project with ease. She is methodical in her approach, provides constructive criticism; and communicates hope and optimism . Her ability goes beyond just one-on-one mentoring, she uses her extensive network of contacts to connect one to people that will add value, provide support and enhance strengths. She is a good listener and is always willing to share her knowledge, skills and expertise. Having experienced her effectiveness in my professional and personal growth, I have no doubt she can add immense value to anyone that signs up for her coaching and mentoring sessions. Anyone would be lucky to have Leana as a coach and mentor; and that is my heartfelt recommendation!

It is a pleasure to recommend Leana, a certified Gallup Coach, as an experienced coach who cares, and delivers flawlessly. I would describe Leana, with Gallup input, as follows: "She invests in and interacts with an individual, partnership and/or team for the primary purpose of stimulating, motivating, and facilitating growth, development, and performance of that individual, partnership or team". Leana core competence is helping others open the door to their potential. This she does extremely well, based on years of relevant experience.

Anthony Macrae

Leana has always been a go getter. Within the organisation she was the expert in field of employee relations and dealing with the unions and CCMA. She is an excellent leader, someone that always goes the extra mile.

Shakeera Booysen

Leana is a driven compassionate human resources manager with the well being and ethics of employees and the organisation at heart. She has the ability to work with detail as well as bigger concepts around people management. Her attitude is very positive and with her knowledge and know how is she a valuable human capital leader and manager in any organisation.
