Lea Turner

We often come across people on LinkedIn™️ who look interesting and produce content we find valuable...so we follow or connect and over time we feel as though we get to know them better.

But do we REALLY know them?

interesting People interviews are designed to reveal more about the background, personal lives and characteristics of some of our favourite people on LinkedIn™️.

Lea is known for her openness and authenticity so it was a challenge to get her to reveal something we hadn't heard before...but she is most definitely very interesting!

You can listen to my full chat with Lea below.

I really enjoyed chatting with Lea and she has become a real inspiration to so many people on LinkedIn™️. Here's the topics we covered.

• Her childhood years.
• The impact of losing her Dad when 10 years old.
• The influence of her parents and how they shaped the person she has become.
• Her early career years.
• Her mental health challenges and how creativity really helped in this respect.
• Her travel adventures and how it inspired to her to go self-employed.
• Becoming a mother and running a business as a single parent.
• How having her son led her to using LinkedIn™️ to find different clients.
• The impact of Covid and lockdown and how this lead to LinkedIn™️ training.
• Why her LinkedIn™️ training business took off
• Motivation and the importance of money
• Why she ceased her training business and now concentrates on running her Holt community.
• What the future holds for her and why 2025 is the 'year of peace' for her.

Lea was such a good sport and really opened up during our chat. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I did.
