Leslie Youra

After graduating with a B.A in English, Leslie Youra continued her studies and earned a degree in Education as well. For almost a decade, she taught adults and teenagers ESL, GED preparation and basic skills as well as helping them to find their talents and use them to follow their passion in life. Along with her students, Leslie also helped teachers unlock hidden talents and find their purpose as well. She supervised, motivated and started hundreds of high school students on the road to lifelong learning, greater productivity and growth.

As a mother of three, Leslie firmly believes that every child has the potential to succeed, but won’t experience success unless they’re willing to take action. She applies her vast knowledge and experience in preparing her children for the future by giving them real world practical examples of qualities long forgotten such as hard work, honesty, and responsibility.

Leslie Youra’s entrepreneurial spirit began at a young age and continues to this day. At 11, she began working with her parents in their import export business where she learned the importance of integrity, self motivation and hard work. She and her husband, Rick, now own a successful collision repair company and have used those very principles as they watched their business grow more than 66 percent in 2006. Leslie and Rick set incredibly high standards for themselves and their family. They are avid students, learning to unleash their true potential and teaching their children to do the same.
