When you book a kindness keynote speaker, you want someone whose message is backed by genuine lived experience. Leon Logothetis delivers exactly that. Before becoming a renowned motivational speaker and TV personality, Leon lived an unfulfilling life as a successful broker in London. Despite outward success, he was chronically depressed and disconnected.
Leon made a radical decision: he gave up his career to travel the globe with nothing but a vintage motorbike and the clothes on his back, relying entirely on human kindness for shelter, food, and fuel. This extraordinary journey took him to over 100 countries and became the foundation for his hit TV series "The Kindness Diaries" on Discovery Plus. His recent Amazon Prime documentary "The Kindness Within: A Journey to Freedom" chronicles his continued mission to spread compassion worldwide.
Today, Leon brings these profound experiences to stages worldwide, helping organizations address their "kindness crisis" with practical strategies that drive measurable results. He's worked with major brands including Amazon, Starbucks, Southwest Airlines, Delta, 3M, United Way, Charles Schwab, and TEDx. Leon also founded Winston Entertainment, producing content that highlights humanity's inherent goodness.
