Before You Scroll
Do you depend on people who don’t report to you to get results?
Do your ideas stall because you lack formal authority?
Do decisions get delayed while stakeholders “circle back”?
Do you feel responsible for outcomes without the power to enforce them
Do you find office politics draining, confusing, or unfair?
Do you hesitate to push because you don’t want to damage relationships?
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not powerless - you’re under-equipped.
Influence today isn’t about titles or control.It’s about understanding what others value, building trust, and trading value ethically. This course gives you a clear, science-backed roadmap to move people, ideas, and decisions forward - even when authority isn’t yours.

Thierry Leroy
A Leader Who Has Lived Influence - When Authority Wasn’t an Option
CLICK
FOR MORE
Some people teach influence as a concept. Others have built their careers, credibility, and impact on it. Leroy belongs firmly in the second group.
Known for his authenticity, humor, contagious energy, kindness, and deep empathy, Leroy is not interested in power for power’s sake. His work has always focused on helping people move ideas forward, align stakeholders, and create results - even when titles, hierarchy, or control were absent.
His mission is simple and deeply human: to care for those who care — leaders, professionals, and teams navigating complexity, responsibility, and pressure without formal authority. He believes that everyone has influence potential - not through force, but through clarity, trust, emotional intelligence, and the courage to engage others with respect. With the right mindset, structure, and heart intelligence, impact becomes possible from any role.
Global Leadership Experience — Influence Where It Actually Matters
Leroy’s understanding of influence was forged in environments where results depended on persuasion, trust, and credibility - not job titles. He climbed the corporate ladder in Singapore and across Asia, rising from Analyst to Vice President by the age of 30, an exceptional trajectory built on performance, stakeholder alignment, and cross-cultural leadership.
Over more than two decades, he has:
Worked across 3 continents and 14+ countries in Asia, Europe, and North America
Led and advised teams within Global Fortune 500 organizations, financial institutions, and large-scale transformation programs
Supported CEOs, COOs, and senior executives during high-stakes initiatives where influence without authority was a daily reality
Served as Vice President at a Swiss Private Bank, managing multi-million-dollar programs and navigating complex stakeholder ecosystems across Asia-Pacific
More recently, Leroy has supported government organizations and Crown Corporations in Canada, where influence, alignment, and psychological safety are essential - and authority alone is never enough.
This breadth of experience allows him to teach influence not as theory, but as a survival and leadership skill in real organizational life.
Elite Education, Certifications & Influence Mastery
Leroy’s teaching is grounded in both academic rigor and field-tested application.
He holds:
Two Master’s degrees in Commerce (with jury distinction) and International Business
A Bachelor’s degree in business-related studies
His executive education includes:
Harvard Business School – Driving Organizational Agility
Harvard University – Leadership Excellence in Strategy & Innovation
Advanced Negotiation
Behavioral Economics & Decision-Making
Emotional Intelligence in Leadership
Harvard Law School (Program on Negotiation) – Negotiation & Mediation (two-semester specialization)
He is also certified as:
Professional Certified Coach (PCC)
PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP®)
Prosci® Certified Change Practitioner (ADKAR)
Certified Psychological Health & Safety Advisor (CMHA)
Workplace Mental Health Leadership – Queen’s University
Neuro-Linguistic Programming Business Practitioner
One of the Top 5 holders in Canada of combined Agile, Scrum, Change, and Coaching certifications
This rare combination allows Leroy to bridge influence, negotiation, behavioral science, change, and human dynamics into a single, coherent approach.
Teaching Style - Human, Grounded, and Deeply Practical
What makes Leroy different isn’t just what he knows - it’s how he teaches.
Participants consistently describe his style as:
Clear without being rigid
Strategic without being political
Direct without being harsh
Deeply human without being abstract
His sessions are structured, engaging, and grounded in real workplace scenarios, not hypothetical models. He brings humor, warmth, and empathy - while holding high standards for clarity, responsibility, and action.
As a Canadian-French immigrant entrepreneur, Leroy knows firsthand what it means to influence without authority. Arriving in Canada with his family eight years ago - without a job, network, or safety net - he rebuilt from scratch, co-founding a professional development company that now supports organizations across 35+ countries in the Americas and 40+ in Europe.
That lived experience shapes how he teaches influence: with humility, resilience, and respect for the human side of leadership.
🎯 Why He Is the Right Guide for Influence Without Authority
This course is not about manipulation, politics, or “winning” at others’ expense.
It’s about:
Understanding what truly motivates people
Building trust-based exchanges
Leading through clarity, reciprocity, and shared purpose
Leroy has spent his career doing exactly that — in environments where authority was limited, stakes were high, and outcomes mattered.
He doesn’t just teach you what to say.He teaches you how to think, listen, frame, and act when influence is your only real lever.
