Join me for a hike in the SF Bay Area hills for some fresh air, expansive thinking, and new perspective.
This is a focused, three-hour coaching session that takes place on some of the most beautiful trails in the Bay Area.
Walking in nature does wonders for the nervous system and brain, boosting cognitive performance and lowering stress.
Why it works
Bring a real challenge. We'll go deep. It's an investment that makes you even more effective.
Who is this for?
You'll walk away with powerful insights and next steps you can act on immediately.
How does it work?
Bring your biggest challenge and we'll explore it together. Conversations have spanned topics from leadership styles and career progression to personal relationship struggles, mental health, and grief... nothing is off limits. I bring an open mind and heart. My intention is to serve you as deeply as I can.
This experience is designed to unlock your creative thinking, reduce stress, and reconnect you with a deeper part of yourself. You'll earn a beautiful view of the Bay Area, and of yourself.

Walking in nature does wonders for the nervous system and brain, boosting cognitive performance and lowering stress.
Why it works
- Stanford research shows walking increases creative thinking by 60%.
- Studies in cognitive neuroscience have found that nature immersion boosts problem-solving by 50% and drops cortisol (your body's primary stress hormone) by over 21% in as little as 20 minutes (University of Michigan).
- A 2015 study found that the experience of awe in nature shrinks our sense of self-importance which leads to greater generosity, more ethical decision-making, and stronger prosocial values.
- Your brain's imagination network activates for increased self-reflection, future planning, and meaning-making.
Bring a real challenge. We'll go deep. It's an investment that makes you even more effective.
Who is this for?
- You're a leader, founder, or high-achiever who cares deeply about your work and the people around you... sometimes to a fault.
- You're successful by most external measures, but internally, something feels off.
- Maybe you're at a crossroads, carrying a decision you can't quite see clearly, or you're so deep in the day-to-day that you've lost sight of what actually matters to you.
- You need space to think and a trusted partner to help you figure out whats really going on.

"The session wasn't what I thought it would be. You turned the conversation around 180 degrees to a positive and proactive attitude. I'm feeling much more optimistic and creative about the future. "
"I call it the Leland magical vacuum effect. This morning showed me some places I'm afraid to go, which is a good thing to see, and a sign that I'm playing at my edge. Such an amazing insight!"
"I was actually going to write you saying you’ve already gone above and beyond. Thank you for resurrecting my confidence."
"I don't think I've had anyone interested in me like this. You take connections and see what I don't see. I feel like this is magic!"
"This morning felt like wide open blue sky spacious and endless possibilities… I’m so, so grateful for you and this very expansive part of me you always invite out to play. My cup and my heart are full 🤗"
"There’s something that’s lit up, like a circuit when we hike and explore together that I don’t have words for, but that somehow makes me feel nourished and more alive."
"Thanks for being with me in the space of all of it: good, bad, right, wrong, thrilling, terrifying… to deny or compartmentalize any of these would be to deny the movement of life itself."
"Thank you for inviting me to step outside my typical work environment and into nature. That experience allowed me to more deeply connect to myself and expand my perspective of what’s possible as a leader."
"I just wanted to express my gratitude to you and our coaching hike again. Not only did you make my morning much brighter, but talking with you filled me with hope, confidence, and more appreciation for myself."
"Thank you for getting me unstuck. You challenged me to grow outside of my comfort zone. The proof is in the pudding. You've really raised the bar for all executive coaches."
"I can't thank you enough for spending time with me last week; I got a lot out of it and was able to process a lot over the past few days."
"Thank you for being you and also for seeing me. I’m finding that telling the truth is quite liberating. I came away from our hike feeling lighter and more free. The only way things can change is to really, truly feel them instead of stepping over them or trying to package them in a way that makes them more palatable or digestible."
"First let me say, THANK YOU! The conversation we had felt one of the most honest moments I’ve had in a while, you know being an entrepreneur feels like you always have to be “right” and have your crap together… I felt that I could tell you honestly I did not have my crap together, and you did not judge me, rather helped me empower myself and do what’s right. Honestly, thank you."

What should I bring?
Comfortable shoes with good grip, water, and layers — Bay Area mornings can be cool. I'll send you a full checklist after we schedule.
Do I need to be in great shape?
No. Most routes are moderate (3-5 miles, 500-800 ft elevation gain). I'm happy to adjust the trail to your fitness level - just let me know during our pre-hike call.
What happens if it rains?
We'll reschedule. I'll keep an eye on the forecast and reach out a day or two before if it looks dicey.
How is this different from your Premium Coaching Partnership?
The Partnership is a deep, multi-month engagement with regular sessions, assessments, and ongoing accountability. The coaching hike is a standalone experience — a powerful single session on the trail. Think of it as a way to experience coaching with me without a long-term commitment. Many clients start here.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes! Just let me know ahead of time. Mochi will be there off-leash and is very friendly.
