Jim
Leonard was born in Ireland and immigrated to the USA in 1952. He enlisted in the United States Air Force where he spent most
of his 23 years of active duty as a survival specialist. Jim credits that experience to an innate ability in establishing
a rapport with people in pain and suffering. Jim found his own recovery towards the end of 1976 and was supported by a group
of people who taught him the responsibilities of living a happy and useful life. Retiring from active military duty in
1977 Jim entered the field of Addiction Services. Since then he has accumulated over 30 year's experience and held numerous
positions of responsibility and leadership such as: Executive Director, Program Developer, Family Program Director, Spiritual
Advisor, and Residential, Adolescent, and Adult Counselor. Jim now devotes his life to providing intervention and consulting
services to families in need. He is regularly called upon to share his expertise with many treatment services both private
and public throughout the US and abroad. He is the founder and director of The Art of Living Life, Inc a non-profit organization
that is committed to assisting all in need of achieving physical, mental, and emotional well being. He has developed a holistic
approach to such areas as responsibility, spirituality, and relationships which, he believes are the underlying issue of addiction
and other traumatic issues. Through a series of seminars, workshops, lectures, retreats and individual consulting Jim has
been able to assist many in personal healing, thus allowing the individual to achieve a healthy attitude toward life. This
in turn offers each individual an opportunity to achieve their true potential.
