identity-level coaching for CEOs & leadership teams

stop choosing betweensuccess and self

The performer got you here. Imagine leading as all of you.

I used to lead as "CEO" or "the girl who went to Harvard." Now I lead as me.

They see the title.

The achievements.

The polished version of you in the boardroom.

But they don't see the parts you hide.

The frustration.

The 3am second-guessing.

The fear that if this fails, so do you.

You're holding it all together, because you believe that's what strong leaders do.

But deep down, you know:

There's so much more to me than this.

how it shows up

  1. 1

    You're brilliant in the fire.

    You thrive on urgency, pressure, and last-minute saves - but it's reinforcing a culture you don't actually want.

  2. 2

    Every decision still runs through you.

    But now the team waits for you instead of taking ownership - and you can't remember your last real day off.

  3. 3

    Everyone has a playbook for you.

    The board, the advisors, the podcasts. You've gotten so good at listening to others that your own voice is barely getting any airtime.

  4. 4

    It never feels like enough.

    At home, they get the highlight reel - the wins, the milestones. They'd trade it all for five unedited minutes of you.

  5. 5

    The isolation is real.

    You've always figured it out yourself. But the higher you climbed, the lonelier it got, and there's no one you can be fully honest with.

If any of this resonates, you're not failing.

And you're not alone.

It all got you here... but now it's your ceiling.

What if the next level isn't about adding more

but removing what's in the way?

You have an incredible gift for this work.

The growth I experienced in three months with Leland was more significant than years of leadership courses, therapy, and journaling combined.

Leland is a coaching natural.

He differentiates from the rest as he moves into the zones to free people from their limitations. If you are looking to rise above your fears and be integrated inside out while living fulfilled in the world, I recommend him without reservation.

I love being in partnership with you because it's constantly inspiring me to focus on what truly matters.

Leland's coaching ability is a reflection of his own life: healthy, positive, conscientious and successful.

Ultimately you've had a very positive impact on my life as someone who not only deeply cares about me and my team but understands how to be successful, not just with work, but with all of the important things.

I feel like I've grown as a manager and executive in the company beyond what I'd been able to in the 10 years prior.

I've been able to create this safe, collaborative, honest space with my executive team. It is an investment that my company makes and gets a big ROI.

Leland is a great human and possesses the right skills to coach any leader in any environment.

His ability to listen, reframe, challenge, and embrace the positives made direct impact on not only my leadership abilities, but my entire org.

there is a different way to lead.

If you need strategy, get a good consultant.

If you need therapy, get a good psychologist.

If you want to see clearly and lead from who you really are, come hiking with me.
