Before You Scroll
Do you feel pressure to âthink strategicallyâ - but rarely get clear guidance on how?
Do strategy conversations feel vague, abstract, or disconnected from real decisions?
Are you asked to keep all options open, even when focus is whatâs needed most?
Do plans look impressive on slides but fail to change day-to-day actions?
Do you sense opportunities - but struggle to act decisively before they disappear?
Are you reacting to events instead of shaping them?
If even one of these resonates: Youâre not lacking intelligence or ambition. Youâre lacking a clear strategic discipline for making choices under uncertainty. This course gives you practical frameworks to diagnose reality, make hard choices, and align action - so strategy stops being a buzzword and starts becoming power.
Because strategy isnât about knowing more. Itâs about choosing better.
TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read)
Strategic Thinking for Leaders is a highly practical, interactive course designed to help leaders move from reactive decision-making to intentional strategic action. Delivered over two weeks, the program blends strategy fundamentals, competitive dynamics, innovation frameworks, and execution discipline. Participants leave with a one-page strategy, sharper judgment, and tools they can apply immediately - in meetings, decisions, and high-stakes moments.
Course Overview
Every organization wins or loses long before results show up - in the choices leaders make under pressure.
This course cuts through strategy fluff and restores its original purpose: a coherent response to a real challenge. Youâll learn how to diagnose what actually matters, decide where not to play, and mobilize action that compounds advantage over time. Instead of reacting faster, youâll learn to see earlier.Instead of planning more, youâll learn to choose deliberately.
đĄ Diagnose clearly. Choose boldly. Act coherently.
Why This Course?
đ Replace Strategy Theater with Real Choice â Learn to distinguish good strategy from vague ambition.
đ§  Shorten the Odds of Success â Use proven frameworks to improve decision quality under uncertainty.
đ Build Strategic Muscle â Practice thinking, diagnosing, and choosing â not just planning.

This course is about doing strategy, not talking about it.

A Strategist Who Has Lived the Cost of Choice

FOR MORE
Strategy isnât something Leroy teaches from a textbook - itâs something heâs had to live, defend, and execute when outcomes were real, deadlines were brutal, and decisions carried consequences.
Known for his authenticity, humor, contagious energy, kindness, and empathy, Leroy brings a rare combination of sharp strategic thinking and deep human leadership. His mission is simple and powerful: to care for those who care - leaders, professionals, and teams carrying complexity, accountability, and constant change. He believes everyone has talent - and that with the right cognitive intelligence and, even more importantly, heart intelligence, people can do extraordinary things.
Global Leadership Experience - Strategy Where It Actually Matters
Leroyâs career is a one-of-a-kind leadership story: he climbed the corporate ladder in Singapore and across Asia from Analyst to Vice President by age 30, leading high-stakes initiatives where strategy wasnât a buzzword - it was survival.
With more than two decades, he has led and advised across 3 continents and 14+ countries, working with executives and teams in:
Global Fortune 500 organizations
Financial services & Swiss private banking
Government and Crown Corporations in Canada
Large-scale transformations, multi-million-dollar portfolios, and high-pressure delivery environments
Most notably, as a Vice President at a Swiss Private Bank in Asia Pacific, he managed multi-million-dollar programs and supported CEOs and COOs - making hard trade-offs, shaping direction, and driving execution in environments where uncertainty and competition were constant.
His global exposure isnât just âinternational experience.â Itâs a deep understanding of how strategy shifts across cultures, markets, power structures, and leadership styles - and how to build clarity when people, priorities, and pressure collide.

Elite Education, Certifications & Strategy Mastery
Leroyâs credibility isnât based on titles alone - itâs anchored in elite training, rigorous frameworks, and real-world application.
â Â Harvard Business School Executive Program â Driving Organizational Agility
Focused on rapid adaptation, competitive strategy, and execution in fast-changing environments, shaped by leading faculty such as Amy Edmondson and others.

â Â Harvard Law School â Negotiation & Mediation Specialization (Program on Negotiation)

Teaching Style - Human, Grounded, and Deeply Practical
What makes Leroy different isnât just what he knows - itâs how he helps people think.
His style is often described as:
Clear without being rigid
Direct without being harsh
Warm without being vague
Strategic without being abstract
Heâs also the kind of instructor who always goes the extra mile - not to impress, but to ensure participants leave with tools that actually work. He brings structure, energy, and deep care into the room - helping leaders build confidence not by âmotivatingâ them, but by giving them a repeatable way to make decisions under pressure.
And because he has personally navigated high-uncertainty transitions - leaving France young with one suitcase to build a career in Singapore, later leaving a VP role in Asia to immigrate to Canada and start again from zero - he teaches strategic thinking with something rare:Â lived credibility.
He understands what it feels like to bet on a decision. And he teaches you how to do it with clarity.
đŻ Why Heâs the Right Guide for Strategic Thinking for Leaders
This course is built around a truth most leaders feel every day:
Your outcomes are the compound effect of your choices.
Leroy is uniquely qualified to teach Strategic Thinking for Leaders because he combines:
Strategy and innovation training from Harvard
Negotiation and mediation mastery from Harvard Law
Deep experience leading transformation and high-stakes execution
Coaching-level skill in helping leaders think clearly under pressure
A human approach that strengthens trust while raising standards
He doesnât just help you âbuild a strategy.â He helps you build the mindset and discipline to diagnose reality, choose deliberately, and align action - so your leadership becomes clearer, sharper, and more influential.
