STRATEGIC YOUTH SOLUTIONS

EFFECTIVE IN NZ - EXPANDED INTO AUSTRALIA
The Lion Academy strategy is to EMPOWER those youth organisations that have the venue and the people that are proven to be effective in crisis-response, connection and have the heart towards youth.
However, they often don't have the budget, or the programs that access the fundng they need.
So, we will assist them by providing our programs, so they can access funding to be trained to deliver those programs.
Here's how it works:
- Add our programs to their scope to expand their capability and funding eligibility.
- Conduct our Train The Trainer program and train their staff.
- The organisation delivers the training of our programs as and when they need to.
We must assist these organisations to earn their operating budgets on top of ther funding streams, charging organsations to deliver programs. For example, those youth that are sentenced to jail if there are no programs available in the community.
LAUNCH IT IN LOGAN!
If you know Logan in Queensland, you know that there are passionate youth and a vibrant community where that energy and passion often expands over the line into anti-social behaviour. With a large demographic of youth, it is the perfect environment to prove the effectiveness of The Lion Academy Youth Solution Strategy.
All that is required is partnership with an established and effective organisation with a venue, the right people and the right heart towards youth...and we found it!
Wilbur Street Youth Centre, run by Rolando Pisia and REKON, have been entrusted the perfect venue by forward thinking and supportive local government and community champions.
I met with Rolando and presented our programs. He's in. Less go!!!
WE ARE LEADING THE WORLD WITH AI AND CULTURE
It's 2025 and AI (Artificial Intelligence) is the greatest technological evolution in our lifetime, and we are right at the front leading the way with AI, Culture and Online Income.
We created www.theaimarae.co.nz with Doug Healey, the first AI and Culture Collaboration in world history!
Now, we use that same ethos for our youth, teaching them AI skills for the future through osmosis...
What we mean by that, is our kids aren't interested in AI skills for the future. They are in survival mode.
But, if you ask them if they want to create their own music, tell their own stories and make money creating their own merchandise and clothing labels, they all say YES! So, we do that. And they learn the AI skills by doing.
There is instant buy-in, connection and measurable, tangible outcomes and impacts that can be measured.

TESTIMONIALS
"A wealth of experience"
Dion is a special individual, with a wealth of experience in 'life areas' only a few would have been exposed to.
Dion presented a half-day workshop for my company on leadership and conflict management and he brought all his skill sets to the session and managed to bring a group of very experienced individuals back to
reality.
He used the full range of his experiences to relate to some serious scenarios in discussion.
I would strongly recommend Dion to any organisation or individual for coaching, training or speaking.
He is able to communicate in a clear decisive manner, with authority but with passion and a friendly heart.

"Mind-blowing personal experience"
Dion the Lion!With the ferocious steel mental mindset but yet the majestic bighearted lion!
It is rare to find a trainer who had been
there done that - living on the edge of life or death on a daily basis due to
your past job nature.
This ex-military experience was already an eye opener to how strong a mindset Dion portrays to us. His confidence and ability to manage fear makes us look at ours in perspective.
Mind-blowing personal experience
coupled with his global sales experience brought us an intensive 8 hours of training helping us to shift our paradigm and mental states!
I highly recommend Dion if you are seeking a trainer who speaks from his heart, mind and soul!

"His delivery skills are absolutely stunning!"
I attended Dion’s Coaching Session. His delivery skills are absolutely stunning!
You can feel that the delivery is not just verbal but it is from his heart, mind and soul. It is genuinely coming from his life experiences. Full of energy.
His skills set is so diverse. Starting from leadership, team building, networking, change management to motivational speaking to name a few.
I was fortunate to experience a few of his wide repertoire of skills.
He makes each participant feel important and engaged in the session.
It makes you want to attend more and more of his sessions.
Great personality!
