Meet Your Mr. Leo: Leo Samman Shrestha
LEO Samman Shrestha
-Mr. Leo Nepal 2024 (Leo Club of Kathmandu Atal Pingalasthan)

Every great journey begins with a dream; one small spark of belief that grows into a flame of purpose. For me, being crowned Mr. Leo Nepal 2024 was not just about holding a title; it was a testimony to passion, determination, and the spirit to make a change in myself and the society.
To represent my homeclub “LCK Atal Pingalasthan” and my district “LDC 325 M” on a national stage was more than glory. It was a privilege that carried both pride and duty. It was a life-changing experience. It shaped me into a stronger individual, reminded me of the power of community, and gave me the conviction that true leadership begins from within.
Every moment felt monumental. Each round challenged me, not just my skills, but also the essence of who I truly was. From the ramp walk to the talent showcase, from teamwork challenges to thought-provoking questions, every stage demanded authenticity, courage, and a clear sense of purpose. For me, it was never about perfection, it was about presence.
There were moments of doubt, moments when my heart raced and my mind questioned my every step. But with each challenge, I discovered resilience I didn’t know I had, and a deeper understanding of what it means to lead with purpose. This competition was not just about winning a crown, it was about embracing the lessons that come with pushing boundaries, stepping into the unknown, and expressing my authentic self. It was about telling my story as a Leo, connecting with those around me, and inspiring others through my journey.
The guidance and wisdom from my club, district and multiple-district leaders served as my compass, teaching me that true leadership is not about recognition, but about inspiring others, lifting them up, and leaving a lasting positive impact. Engaging in community projects reinforced why I am a Leo; it was in serving, guiding, helping, and contributing to the society that I found the deepest joy, the truest purpose, and a fulfillment no crown could ever replicate.
Through this journey, I realized that real leadership begins with heart, action, and the commitment to make a difference. After the Crown ,it marked the beginning of a far greater responsibility. The title brought with it, the duty to lead by example, inspire young Leos, and dedicate myself wholeheartedly to meaningful service. Together, I embraced a vision that is both simple and powerful:
I am deeply grateful to my home club; My Atal Family, LDC 325 M, Leo Multiple District 325 Nepal, my always supporting friends and families and the entire Leos all around for trusting me and giving me this platform. Here’s to dreaming without limits, serving without hesitation, and creating an impact that resonates for generations to come.
