NEW dōTERRA DIAMOND

Leslie Gail

CENTENNIAL, COLORADO, USA

Centered on Health

After seeing her mother battle several types of health conditions, Leslie Gail centered her life on health and helping others. She says,“ Watching my mother with her health issues planted a seed for me, and I felt I needed to do whatever I could to help people make improvements in their lives and be as healthy as possible.” Leslie became a life and health coach and a massage therapist, but even in these jobs, she felt she could do something greater for the health of others.

Leslie’ s first introduction to dōTERRA essential oils was through a social media post. Seeing the post about the oils interested her, and she ordered some for her family and started to experiment and research. She loved the oils so much that she began to share with her family and friends without knowing about the business. By the time she had enrolled ten people, she finally learned of the business opportunity, and she knew what she needed to do. Sharing the oils gave Leslie an excitement that she hadn’ t felt in a long time, and she followed the intuition to continue building.
Every day, Leslie brought all of her energy to her business because she knew how powerful that positive energy could be. She says,“ I wanted my team to be a family, and I knew that started with me and my energy, leadership, positivity, and ability to elevate everybody around me.” Soon enough, Leslie’ s excitement for sharing oils and for the people she was sharing with became contagious, and she began attracting like-minded individuals to her team. Now, her team is exactly what she dreamed it would be— a family that supports, celebrates, and encourages each other.
The enthusiasm Leslie has for dōTERRA has also impacted her own family in many ways. Her athletic sixteen-yearold son now uses the oils regularly to manage his health, and her thirteen-yearold daughter is sharing diffuser bracelets and Wild Orange with all of her friends. Leslie says,“ They now have a resource to make them feel better or help them emotionally when they’ re struggling. Because of this foundation, they’ re going to approach their health differently when they become adults. That’ s part of the reason I wanted to do this.”
Leslie’ s husband, Roger, is key in her influence. Leslie says,“ Without Roger’ s support, I wouldn’ t be here.” Roger has fully supported her since the beginning, and he believed in Leslie’ s vision without question. Through classes, events, and two rounds of Diamond Club, Roger worked hard so that Leslie could continue to create a solid base of health for friends and strangers alike.
The dōTERRA business has given Leslie the ability to influence the health of others in a greater capacity than she ever imagined. She says,“ I’ ve been able to plant so many seeds and change so many peoples’ lives. I’ m helping people clean up their homes and get rid of toxic ingredients. It is powerful to know that I can empower others in their health by giving them the right tools. This business has also given me the opportunity to teach my children the power of following their passions because they have seen me do it. Now they know that when you follow your passions, set goals, and work hard, you can achieve anything.”
THE THREE Ps OF LEADERSHIP
PASSION:“ You have to have a passion for what you’ re doing. When you have passion, people feel that when they meet you, and they trust you right away. The energy that comes from your passion is contagious.”
PURPOSE:“ You have to be purposedriven, and your purpose has to be something bigger than just you. Knowing your purpose is going to get you up when your team is falling apart, and it will keep you from throwing in the towel.”
POSITIVITY:“ Positivity is critical because if you are negative or you set that tone, other people are going to feel it. If a leader is positive, they’ re going to set that tone for their team, and if their team picks up on that positivity, that energy will trickle down through the organization.”
