About
Hello everyone! My name is Alex E Kheyson. I am very passionate about leadership and helping others to learn and grow. I have many years of team building and individual development experience that I am thrilled to share with you.
I know there are many people all over the world who want to become better and successful leaders. However, there's just so much information available in the field of leadership and personal development, from millions of books to online resources to choose from, that it can be overwhelming trying to decide what is right for you based on goals and objectives that you have. That is why I created the Heart & Mind of a Leader website and blog in order to conveniently share best practices in the field of Leadership, Personal and Team Development, motivation and much more all in one place.

Why me?
I was born and raised in Ukraine and moved to the United States with my family many years ago without knowing a single word in English. Well, maybe two words: "Thank you." Having strong persistence, positive mindset, and never give up attitude helped me to learn English in less than two years while attending High School and working part-time, graduate with honors, and go to college. So, I know something about qualities of a leader that one must have in order to accomplish the goals and plans that we all have and set for ourselves, and to help us succeed personally and professionally.

I will start my story by inviting you on a journey into my childhood, just when I was 14 years old. This was September of 1998 when my parents have made a decision to leave everything behind and move to the United States from Ukraine, where I was born and raised. We left our friends and family and moved into the new world and new life that we did not know anything about at that time.
No one in my family knew a single word of English, let alone could attempt to create logical sentences or try to understand others when they were speaking with us and, I guess, expecting a response. Of course, my parents had to quickly find a job which did not require a knowledge of English, and I had to go to school in order to continue my studies. Therefore, my parents took me to the Junior High school close by our apartment complex after approximately two weeks of us living in the United States. When I left Ukraine I was just starting the 9th grade, therefore, I started in the 9th grade at the Junior High school I was now attending, with approximately 6 months left before transitioning into the High School...
