THE LAUNCH EVENT

THE GOLD COAST IS THE LAUNCH PAD INTO THE SOUTH PACIFIC

STRATEGIC

We launch our retreat year with an event on the stunning Gold Coast of Australia!

The event showcases the 'Big Four' 4 modalities of The Lion Academy, so that attendees can decide which solution modality to follow for the year, culminating in a retreat in The South Pacific.

Protecting Women

Ladies first. The heart and soul of our families, the life givers and nurturers we always start here.

Trauma, Transition and Evolution as a total solution path that is serving women all over the world in moving forward with their lives, be they single parents or corporate CEO's. The first program in the world that is run entirely by those who have been through the program. We don't protect our women because they're weak, we protect them because they're important.

Warriors

Serving those that have served others, Trauma, Transition and Evolution for Military, Law Enforcement and Emergency Services Personnel and their families. The world's first GOOD NEWS book and program about trauma that is clinically endorsed, came from the warrior tribe.

Leaders

Our #Crisisleadership modality trended at Number 1 in the world on LinkedIn during COVID because leaders could get support in private. In Asia for example, if you show any wekaness as a leader, you will get eaten! When there is blood in the 'business water' the sharks will come. Being able to attend the event, gain access to the online progam and culminate your learning on a Pacific Island, allows for effectiveness and confidentialtiy.

Businesses and Entrepreneurs

Global B2B Global Platforms are available to organisations and corporations for traditional business, as well as end to end 'Idea To Income' business creation. Imagine sitting on a tropical island, drinking a cold beverage of your choice, designing, mappying, building and launching an online income stream before you get back on the plane.
