Life Design Coaching

I'm Leland - an experienced coach, outdoor guide, and mindfulness specialist - and I love what I do.  I've been coaching men and women just like you to discover themselves, prioritize what's really important, and build a grounded, happier, and more authentic foundation from which to live their life.
I see myself as a guide, champion, and facilitator of learning on your journey of self-discovery and authentic expression. I challenge, support, encourage, question, reflect, inspire, and hold space for your to dig deeper, find clarity, and muster the courage to make sustainable positive change.
Put simply - I want you to flourish.
I'm committed to that on my own journey too.  I coach entrepreneurs, small business owners, corporate executives, emerging leaders, project managers, architects, engineers.

As a transformational coach, the work I do with you is more than just achieving external goals such as increasing your revenues, achieving fitness goals, getting the next promotion, or meeting the love of your life - although that is all great to work on.
I believe that there is a life force - a loving awareness - that connects us all, that fuels our creativity and is always at work supporting us to reach our full human potential.  To be fully human is to rise above fear, ego, judgement, and competition and instead lead from love, kindness, and compassion.
This takes real work on ourselves.
Exploring and learning to access your own inner wisdom, strengths, gifts, talents, and guidance
Exploring and learning to access, trust, and strengthen your own intuition to enhance your decision making is part of what I offer.

Despite the temptations of our fast-paced modern lifestyle with its quick-fix promises, especially on the internet and social media, when we are committed to working on ourselves over a period of time with someone we trust, we can peel back the layers and work on our inner growth. This is where lasting shifts happen, and greater joy, self respect and self love is cultivated. And we can work towards finding and fulfilling our unique purpose in life.

My Life Design Coaching is an invitation and an investment to work on yourself, patiently, kindly and mindfully. And if that doesn't resonate or spark interest, then I am probably not the best coach for you.

Finding Clarity and Inspiration

Sometimes people come to coaching unsure of what they'd most like to work on or where they'd like to start - that's okay. Sometimes we don't know what we don't know! But please feel assured that getting clearer about what is most important to you, what you feel is missing or what your choices are, is all part of the coaching journey.
​As well as being a spiritually-inclined person, I am also very down-to-earth and practical. Learning new approaches or skills is also a valuable part of the Life Coaching support I offer. As part of your Life Coaching, you will receive access to a suite of practical tools, activities, written tips and fun exercises I have developed over many years, to explore, take home and apply in your everyday life. You will also be given the opportunity to be drawn deeper into your heart and soul, when the timing feels right.

As a professional coach and member of the International Coach Federation, I use written Coaching Agreements with all clients. This outlines our mutual roles and responsibilities and it keeps our working relationship transparent, professional and confidential. If you decide to work with me, you will be given a copy of the Coaching Agreement, and the opportunity to ask any questions, prior to your coaching commencing.
Coaching sessions are pre-scheduled, normally weekly, and held via Zoom or phone. All Coaching Programs include unlimited, brief access to me via text or email in between coaching sessions. This can be handy to share an insight, a challenge or to receive extra support before a significant event.
I work with a limited number of (around 10-12) coaching clients at any one time, so you receive the most from my presence, guidance and support. At times, there may be a waiting list to access my services.
Your coaching journey begins by completing a Pre-Coaching Questionnaire and Life Assessment. This gets you reflecting, thinking and feeling inspired about what you'd really like for yourself and your life. We use this as the basis for your introductory coaching session. 
In your introductory coaching session, we also spend time discussing the 'how' before we dive into the 'what'. That is, we intentionally co-create our coaching partnership. We determine how we can best work together to get the best outcomes for you. Do you need to be challenged, inspired or supported? Or all three? (Many clients find this discussion a valuable framework to use when they are entering a new work or personal relationship.) Co-creating our coaching partnership is an important part of any successful coaching experience. 
Once I have a sense of what matters most to you and a shared understanding of where you're at, we establish a few written coaching goals or intentions that you'd like to get started with. There's never any pressure to do more, or less, than what you're comfortable with - you determine what's right for you. 
Coaching requires a genuine commitment of your time and a moderate financial outlay. In some cases, you may be able to claim your Coaching Program as a professional development expense

Are you ready to begin?

When we take a moment to stop, meaningfully reflect and get in touch with what we honestly desire, we often discover there's a door that's ready to open or a fuzzy idea waiting to be given some life - we don't need to work out all the details right away - we just have to be willing to take the first step.  
If my Life Coaching approach resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you and have a conversation.
