Senior Engineer and Associate
Leopold Chorinsky is a Senior Engineer and Associate at Booth Engineers & Associates. Over the years, he has had the privilege of working on a range of projects, from distressed structures to high-rise commercial developments. Early in his career, he struggled with confidence and anxiety, but once he shifted his mindset, he began to see challenges as opportunities. Leopold's success today is driven by that mindset, and he is passionate about helping others achieve the same clarity and focus.
Senior Engineer and Associate
Why did you volunteer to be a mentor?
Your mindset and the way you think are crucial to your success and happiness. Unfortunately, many men aren’t aware of how much they limit themselves by not mastering their mental framework. I volunteered to be a mentor because I want to help others—especially young men—realise their potential. It’s about showing them that they can achieve much more once they get their mind right.
Senior Engineer and Associate
How would you have benefited from this experience if you had the opportunity to be a mentee early in your career?
Looking back, I realise that having a mentor earlier on would have fast-tracked my growth. The perspective, guidance, and clarity a mentor provides are invaluable, especially in an industry like ours, where confidence and decision-making are critical. Having someone help me navigate the ups and downs of my career would have been a game changer.
Senior Engineer and Associate
What is your proudest professional or Churchie achievement?
My proudest achievement is the ongoing opportunity to mentor and lead the team at Booth Engineers. Every day, I have the chance to guide talented professionals as we work toward shared goals.
Senior Engineer and Associate
What inspires or motivates you?
Providing for my family is a core motivator, but it’s not just about my own household. I’m driven by the desire to help other men, whether young or old, to provide for their families and contribute to their communities. It’s about building something bigger than yourself.
Senior Engineer and Associate
What is the most important thing you learned from a mentor?
One of the best pieces of advice I received was, “Make your life an interesting story.” Failure isn’t the end—it’s either a win or a lesson. This mindset has shaped the way I approach challenges and setbacks. It’s a perspective I’m eager to pass on to my mentees.
Senior Engineer and Associate
What is one piece of advice you would give to someone starting in your industry?
Get clear on your goals. You may not know your purpose right away, but clarity in your goals will give you a path forward. It doesn’t have to be perfect—adjust as you go—but you need that sense of direction to avoid drifting.
Senior Engineer and Associate
What do hope to gain from this experience?
Mentoring is a two-way street. Teaching others not only reaffirms your own knowledge, but it also helps build a strong sense of community. I’m hoping to gain that sense of connection, and I’m confident that by helping others, I’ll continue to grow personally and professionally.
