Path of the Lion

Entrepreneurial Leaders

My book, Path of the Lion was released as a book in late 2012. From 2013 to 2018, I toured through New Zealand, Australia and South Africa where I presented My work to entrepreneurial and other enterprise and business leaders.

Using the analogy of four entrepreneurial “species” of entrepreneurs, Path of the Lion offers a clear pathway for entrepreneurial leaders to develop their Entrepreneurial Intelligence (EnQ).

My work successfully reached many other influential thinkers and thought leaders, and this is what some of them had to say:

“The concept of EnQ is an exciting one and Sandy’s work comes at a crucial time as entrepreneurship promises to play an increasingly important role in the future of business worldwide”.

Matt Church, Founder, Thought Leaders Global

“Path of the Lion helped me with clear clarity around uncovering my own strengths, weaknesses and “work on areas”. Sandy’s style and insights were unique in so many ways and I am confident that if I now apply my learnings and strategies my success as an entrepreneur is so much more assured”.

Clif Shaw, Business Coach, Facilitator and BNI Director NZ

Path of the Lion Workshops

In 2015 Path of the Lion was developed into an interactive workshop format for both entrepreneurial leaders and future entrepreneurial leaders. The Path of the Lion workshops for future leaders were successfully run in New Zealand and South Africa.

“I would highly recommend Path of the Lion as an effective foundation for entrepreneurs, and those who are interested in working within an entrepreneurial environment. EnQPractice ticked all the boxes in terms of informative content, engaging presentations, and enjoyable interactive activities for me.”

“The one word used most frequently to describe the Path of the Lion Workshop experience for our students was “life-changing”.

“Sandy has set the scene for entrepreneurial development at our school. We introduced the concept of Entrepreneurial Intelligence (EnQ) to 160 Grade 9 students and had amazing feedback. We are now inundated with boys that want to take the subject at school and they are door knocking regularly to pitch their business ideas to us. I can highly recommend this course to any school that wants to plant the entrepreneurial seed and focus on turning students into job creators rather than job seekers”.

The Future of Entrepreneurial Leadership

It was working closely with both current and future entrepreneurial leaders by means of the Path of the Lion work, that inspired my doctoral research project to explore the gap between student leadership experiences and entrepreneurial leadership demands. This research led to the creation of the Leadership Literacy for Life on-line intervention courses.

Leadership Literacy for Life proposes, by means of a researched new theory of leadership preparation called Seeding Leadership theory, that a personal leadership identity can be created for our future leaders, alongside their identity development as adolescents.

“Sandy Geyer’s “Path of the Lion” is a brilliant read for anyone considering becoming an entrepreneur, or who feels like they’re tangled in the undergrowth or mired in the quicksand of the entrepreneurial jungle. Filled with wisdom that can only be learned and passed on by those who “walk their talk”, Sandy is the real deal”.

Richard Liew, Founder, NZ Entrepreneur Magazine.
