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 .”
