Leslie A. Nolin

Founder   -  Brander  

Originally from Edmonton, Alberta Leslie began her career with a strong foot hold in Healthcare Management. She received her formal education from the University of Alberta and Simon Fraser University. She furthered her studies in the publishing industry as well as learning and development.

Ms. Nolin  has lived and worked on the West Coast since 1997.

Her expertise in strategic marketing and corporate alliances has allowed The Izzo Group to evolve into one of the boutique organizational development firms on the west coast.

In 1998 she started FairWinds Press Publishers, a small west coast house that would independently produce and strategically market publications and learning tools that would enhance the company's library of offerings and development products. From retail outlets across North America to training and management programs sold globally, the Izzo Group's publishing arm remains a corporate success.

In 2007 an offer from the Biography Channel to co-produce a TV series became a reality.  The television series, "the five things you must discover before you die"  was created and Ms. Nolin established One Life Productions Corp.  a visual arts production house that would see the birth of Dr. John Izzo's TV series and collaborated then with  Detroit Public Television  to  offer the series in their market. As co-producer with Omni Television the Series "the Five Secrets You Must Discover Before You Die" was syndicated to PBS  prior to  the titles publication with Barrett Koehler Publishers in 2008.

In 2009 Leslie saw the birth of two newly researched organizational training programs by author Olivia McIvor and she welcomed back Mr. Eric Klein. He along with Dr. John Izzo developed the company's FOUR PATHS model of personal development, team development and leadership development.
