Thank you, Alex. I may be criticized for accepting to literal a translation, but as often happens, I didn't feel that
the other options offered communicated the feeling of the original. If "apalancar" doesn't yet render the feeling of
term in English, perhaps it soon will begin to.

Thanks for your help,
Brad

impulsar


Explanation:
To leverage en el sentido de la frase propuesta significa "impulsar". También se utiliza como sustantivo en frases como "get some leverage", en cuyo caso significaría "impulso". Es un término muy utilizado en el campo del "coaching". Profesionales en la materia tales como Tony Robbins lo utilizan continuamente.
