Background

About Leo Nelson

I cut my teeth in business as the Operations Manager for the fundraising branch of a charity. It was within this role that my passion for leadership first began. A variety of responsibilities ranging from acquisition of capital goods, creation of process, process improvement, on-boarding, creation of incentives, payroll, budgeting, marketing, it all stirred a passion for leadership. I have led in Charities, non-profits, retail, sales inbound and outbound), single location, local multi-location, area management (SK and MB) and operations. This diversity, has in part, made me who I am today. My track record is one of growth. Growth in revenue, physical footprint, in community standing. Thinking creatively, Brainstorming, listening and engaging, coaching others to success, creating opportunities, are ways I have realized success; Individually we know a little, collectively we know a lot! Creating a comfortable and open environment, one where we respect each other, can feel empowered to make decisions and to make mistakes without fear of repercussions. An environment where we feel a sense of ownership, where every voice matters. Where diversity is celebrated, original thought is encouraged and where transparency is the norm is how I have become successful. A Lifelong learner, I thrive on new information, new ways of doing things, new tools to help achieve goals. Creativity, thinking outside the box, considering the unconsidered.
