it begins with you
There is something you can offer the world that no one else can.
I believe each of us has within us a distinct combination of skills, strengths, and experiences that gives us unique abilities.
When we access these abilities, we find effortless inspiration, lose track of time, and find ourselves in flow.
We excel beyond what seems possible and make meaningful contributions to others.
Each one of us has the capacity to discover, nurture, and direct this genius toward a meaningful purpose.
In today's world, it can be difficult to unlock these gifts when we are easily distracted, incentivized to conform, and on autopilot.
That's where I come in.
I work with founders, leaders, innovators, and teams who view continuous self-improvement as critical to success.
Who believe that they have something special to offer the world.
And who are ready to do something about it.

Hi, I'm Leland (he/him)Through a unique mix of self-inquiry, developmental psychology, and experiential learning, I guide individuals and teams to discover and cultivate their inner genius — in service of a larger purpose — in a way that feels authentic.
I don't provide answers. I help people discover their own. People partner with me when they feel ready to embrace a journey of deep transformation and start playing a much bigger game — a game aligned with who they really are. If this sounds like you, let's have a conversation to explore how I can help. We'll work together to draw out your unique gifts and co-create a career and life that feel inspiring to you. |
