John C. Maxwell is a leadership guru, internationally recognized for his expertise in empowering individuals and organizations to excel.
"A positive attitude is not just a state of mind; it's a way of life that opens doors to endless possibilities."
Lee is a first-time author, longtime seeker, and reluctant guide through territories he's still mapping himself. Originally from a working-class town in Yorkshire, England, now living in California with his wife, 10-month-old son, and a daughter on the way who will undoubtedly reveal new layers of growth he doesn't yet know exist.
For over a decade, he's immersed himself in depth psychology, men's work, plant medicine ceremonies, and various contemplative traditions—not collecting certificates but genuinely trying to understand what makes us human and how we transform. Currently undertaking an apprenticeship in group facilitation through the Hero's Journey Foundation, where he's been heavily involved for nearly ten years, Lee has recently begun facilitating Hero Circles and offering mentorship to individuals navigating their own journeys, always as a fellow traveler rather than someone who claims to have arrived.
Lee walks in two worlds. By day, he consults with brands on growth strategy—aiming to apply the same principles of authentic transformation to business that he explores in personal work. This attempt to bridge professional and spiritual realms keeps him grounded in the reality that true change has to function in boardrooms as well as on meditation cushions. The tension between these worlds shapes everything he writes.
His viral Medium post exploring love through quantum entanglement caught enough attention to land him on a science radio podcast alongside quantum physicist Michio Kaku—a surreal moment that perfectly captures his journey from Yorkshire to places he never expected.
Through this decade of exploration—from intensive retreats to boardroom battles, from men's circles to the intersection of science and spirituality—Lee has discovered that transformation follows the same pattern everywhere: real growth demands authenticity. He wrote Leeway to map this pattern, believing that sometimes the best guide is simply someone willing to share where they've stumbled, what they've learned, and what they're still figuring out.
