Leopold Ajami

You’re here because influence matters to you.

You’ve got ideas that can change minds, move hearts, and lead people forward.

But are they landing the way they should?

Do people say yes when it counts?

Do your words drive action—or just admiration?


Every day, I see brilliant professionals and high-performing teams being overlooked.

Drowned out by noise.

Outshined by louder voices with less substance.

Not because they lack skill.

Not because they lack integrity.

But because the science of ethical influence and the structure of clear communication were never part of the leadership playbook.


And that, to me, is a quiet injustice.


I’m Leopold Ajami.

I help leaders and companies design a voice that amplifies their worth -- so they can lead with clarity, move people ethically, and build a brand others want to follow.


Because it’s not just about hearing more yes.

It’s about becoming the kind of person people want to say yes to.


As a licensed trainer under Dr. Robert Cialdini—and a coach in public speaking and thought leadership—I will help you build your influence without ever compromising your values.


Together, we’ll:

  • Master the psychology of ethical persuasion
  • Speak on any stage with clarity, presence, and confidence
  • Build a leadership brand that earns trust and inspires action

Not louder. Not flashier.

Just unmistakably youbut with influence that lands every time.


I’ve worked with leaders in 20+ countries—from global execs to rising thought leaders— transforming overlooked voices into unforgettable ones.


If you’re here, it’s because your voice is needed.

And I believe it deserves to be not just heard -- but become unforgettable.

I’d love to hear your story and get to know you.

Amazing workshop. Leopold explanations and examples were bang on! Didn't miss a single second of what he said. I just feel this workshop can be divid...ed or sub branched into business/domain specifically. Like I am a Product Manager for B2C apps. For me the whole workshop I was drawing relationships to my apps/paywalls/app messaging and marketing ideas. If this workshop can be carved to see how they can draw parallels.
