More About the Author

Mind, body, spirit and planet!

My first book was about changing your life in a very specific way. It was written for long-term out-of-work individuals that need to get "back on track" with a job. Now, I write about changing your life, no matter who you are -- whether you're ready to take a Leap of Faith through an Exhilaration Effect adventure or find a holistic solution for your challenges (health or otherwise).

Years ago, I was told that I needed to take a medication that would be tough on my liver in order to help with a health problem I was having. Well, I was still young and not interested in that option. Instead, I found nutrition-based solutions, foods that would help my body, and stayed healthy without long-term prescriptions.

Thus began the journey that has led to the national Holistic Chamber of Commerce.

At another point, I was stuck in a crappy job and unhappy relationship. I knew what to do to change it and yet I was still procrastinating. Finally, I did something unexpected and unrelated... I took a vacation to a place I'd never been. It gave me a new perspective and a stronger sense of confidence. Now, whenever I don't know what to do next, I do something I've never done (from eating insects to driving NASCAR) and propel myself forward through the Exhilaration Effect!

I want a quality life, don't you?

5.0 out of 5 stars Written from the trenches, September 21, 2003
By 
David Chaney (Granada Hills, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Working Workbook: Earning a Buck and Keeping It Coming (Paperback)
Ms. Leon works successfully with the most underemployed, difficult to employ, and nearly impossible to keep employed population: prison parolees. As a parole officer, I am familiar with her work with our criminal population and have reviewed her book. Her agency contracts with the state of California to provide encouragement to men and women ex-prisoners used to robbing and stealing to support their drug habits. Many of these deceitful and violent people get out of prison with genuine hopes for a real job. Unfortunately, their previous work is at the end of a gun barrel or selling crack cocaine and heroin. Ms. Leon works individually with ex-offenders, capitalizing on their hopes, but preparing them to face real-world barriers in the work place. The book is well-written, and best of all, in a workbook format to be used by the job seeker frustrated by the barriers in the workplace. I use it with my own parolees. Ms. Leon's book would help individual readers, but better, it would be used in job-seekers groups, trade schools, or community colleges were students prepare for the working world. Her experience with tattooed and toothless convicts is a valuable buy for any law-abiding citizen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book - I truly enjoyed reading it., July 8, 2003
By 
A. Ledesma (Bell Gardens, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Working Workbook: Earning a Buck and Keeping It Coming (Paperback)
I truly enjoyed reading the book. The workbook is easy to read with clear language, with a "pinch of humor" -- and definitely not boring. Page after page, I thought of friends, family members, acquaintances, clients I work with (and myself) the benefits of reading this book. Even, if you think you know the ins-and-outs of job seeking, as a resource book, it will be helpful. The author knows the business of "how to find a job", gives good advise and the information is up-to-date with a focus on the "real world". I highly recommend this book - for those who are currently job seeking, would like to change jobs or careers, or are trying to find their "first job". Think of the dollars spent buying this workbook, as a small investment for a better job and better future.
