As the founder of both the University of Unstuck and LT Group, Leon has spent over a decade building frameworks that move people from where they are to where they need to be.

Currently serving as a facilitator at Towson University's Nancy Grasmick Leadership Institute, Leon's portfolio spans partners at the D.C. Superior Court System, the University of Maryland, Bowie State University, and dozens of organizations across the Eastern region.

The LT Group Story

Why we built this company.

LT Group is the corporate division born from over a decade of watching talented people stay stuck — not because they lacked ability, but because no one ever taught them how to lead.

After building the University of Unstuck to serve student athletes and young leaders, the demand kept coming from a different audience: HR directors, L&D managers, and executives watching their best contributors plateau.

LT Group was created to close that gap. The name says it all: Prospect to Leader. That's the journey every great organization needs its people to make. We're here to make sure they make it.
