Leeloo Personal
Hi, I’m Dan 🦹
I’m a human performance specialist and the creator of Leeloo. You’re welcome to jump to any section below but first I wanted to share with you a personal story about how this weird and intelligent little robot ended up on this webpage for all to access.
My Story.
Eyes wide open
I’ve always been the kind of human to dive into anything with my eyes open wide, no matter the challenge. For instance, I was late to begin competitive swimming at age 11, but by age 15, I had obtained several top 3 national rankings across the UK. I loved to swim, but my career ambitions for the Olympics were cut short by some unfortunate family matters. Taking it in my stride - as my mum had always taught me - I decided to apply that same ambitious attitude to my personal and professional development for the following 15 years.
5475 sunsets later
Fast forward to the present day I’ve transformed my life from poverty, family illness and few opportunities, to what I can only describe now as an extremely fortunate life full of welcome challenges and a strong sense of fulfillment. Professionally I have obtained a PhD in Applied Human Physiology and Performance Optimization. I’ve had the honor of coaching and consulting with thousands of extraordinary humans in business, sport and healthcare; including, over 320 extreme sport athletes and Olympians to world record wins and unprecedented levels of human achievement, as well as helping business professionals, neurosurgeons, founders, CEOs, SEALs, Hollywood actors, film producers, musicians, artists, lawyers, cybersecurity "hackers", professional gamers, writers, therapists, fellow coaches, scientists and even a world class chess player. If you’re particularly interested in what I do you’re welcome to check out my personal website.
Adding complexity to our journey today’s personal and professional development landscape is fragmented, inaccessible and lacks personalization.
Providing everyone with access to elite tools
In 2022 I began a new mission. I wanted to gather all of the immense wisdom, tools and techniques that are typically only accessible to elite level professionals and make them accessible to everyone else. Why? You might ask. Well, for starters everyone should be able to easily equip themselves with resources and guidance needed to build a life of both high achievement and a strong sense of fulfillment. Secondly, when experiencing setbacks in our personal and professional performance like chronic stress, loss of work-life balance, anxiety, changes in motivation, fear, burnout, and so on, many of us are frequently faced with choice paralysis, unaffordable solutions and impersonal advice. That often sounds like, “what’s wrong with me, where do I start, which app is best, I can’t afford a coach, I don’t have the time to deal with this.” We need a better solution for this, globally!
Our boldest endeavor is achieving what we once thought was impossible without sacrificing our sense of fulfillment, joy and love for life.
Enabling humans to redefine high performance
Now it’s not that I think personal and professional issues can be completely eradicated. Challenge is needed for growth. And, stress, anxiety and maybe a little pain will always be part of a high performing career, but negative experiences cannot be the very soul of our life. So I want to help people define what a high performing life means to them, equip these humans with the exact tools, resources and guidance they need to transform weaknesses into strengths, and in that process achieve their version of a success.
Leeloo, everyone’s performance advisor (beta)
Leeloo is a work in progress - my ‘brain child’! I’ve brought together an outstanding team of experts in the sciences of the mind, body, relationships, leadership and technology, who all share the same passion for high performance as I do. With their help, I have developed a first version of a trusty sidekick designed to help you connect how you’re feeling and what’s going on in your life with personalized guidance that equips you to achieve your version of high performance. At the moment we are focussed on the mental, emotional and social aspect of human performance.
Getting started with Leeloo.
It's easy! First sign-up with your email by clicking the “Get Started” button on the homepage.
Then, feeling a certain way? Like a mood you can’t shake or a thought you can’t ignore. Share a few words here - it doesn’t need to be a clear sentence. Remember Leeloo isn’t designed to answer your questions. Think of this more like your personal mood diary. Once you do, hit GO and Leeloo will kick into action, analyzing your words and presenting a set of likert-style questions to pinpoint a performance state that’s relevant to you. Please remember to be mindful of your spelling - incorrect spellings will cloud Leeloo's understanding.
Keep in mind that:
Leeloo’s goal at this time is to help you gain perspective on a performance state that’s relevant to how you’re feeling or thinking - not to answer a particular question.
Leeloo is an experimental technology and may sometimes give inaccurate or inappropriate information that doesn’t represent our views.
Don’t rely on Leeloo’s responses as medical, legal, financial, or other professional advice.
We’d love your feedback. It will help make Leeloo better.
Example user prompts for Leeloo:
Here are some examples of prompts that you might give Leeloo to begin a session:
Struggling, stress.
Feeling happy, confused, strange feeling of nervousness
I’m having the greatest day ever. I set a new personal record and feel fantastic.

Accomplished, grateful, valued.
Feel like I don’t belong with my team.
Unmotivated, lacking confidence.
Leeloo is not designed to directly answer your questions. With our beta we want to connect you with performance states that are relevant to your mood. This is a form of perspective taking and we prefer the magical effects of optimizing the way you think, feel and perform with perspective taking and introspective questions. Did you know that there’s a question behind every decision you make. Leeloo wants to empower you to make better decisions.
Who is Leeloo for?
At the moment, Leeloo currently works best for working professionals in teams. Whether you’re in business, sport or healthcare; an executive, leader, manager, athlete, employee - Leeloo is going to make the most sense to you if you’re part of a team.
