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

If you let yourself dream big, what could be possible for you?

SPACE
  • A startup founder was feeling stressed & overwhelmed with external expectations and craved creative time again to focus on new product ideas and strategic thinking.  With ruthless prioritization and delegation, we created a whole day, every Thursday, free of meetings and interruptions.
  • An executive, juggling a C-suite transition, underperforming department head, and recent wedding engagement.
An engineering leader wanted
An SVP at a large corporation
​

My clients say that our work together has most significantly helped them:

Pursue and do meaningful work.
​Build and maintain healthy habits for body, mind, and soul.
Deepen self-awareness of core values, leadership strengths, and blind spots.
Cultivate more trusting and empathetic relationships, both at home and at work.
​Create regular periods of "deep work" for focused productivity and inspired creativity.
Access their intuition.
Redesign workplace cultures to foster more humanity, empathy, inclusion, and trust.
Strengthen self-confidence and courage to speak one's truth and do what is scary.
Feel more calm and at peace.

​I'll show you how my clients are able to...

Make a meaningful impact

  • Led a global team to launch an online video platform amplifying young people's voices on social change issues and community engagement
  • Trained and certified 5000+ educators by creating the world's first 200-hour Wellness, Social-Emotional Learning, and Yoga Teacher training using wellness as a vehicle for healing and social change
  • Launched an academic scholarship program which raised funds to cover full annual tuition for 32 underserved Vietnamese students in its first year
  • Launched a high-performance coaching mobile app to help people become healthier, smarter, and more effective
"No matter what your dream is, no matter what the challenge, Leland will grow your confidence in doing the impossible."

Build and maintain healthy habits

  • A busy professional and father kept letting his physical exercise slip.  Built a habit of running consistently 3 times a week for 4 months
  • Yoga & water
  • Slept better - higher quality for more hours
  • A startup founder was feeling stressed & overwhelmed with all of the "shoulds" and craved creative time again to focus on new product ideas and strategic thinking.  With ruthless prioritization and delegation, we created a whole day, every week, free of meetings and interruptions to dream and ideate
  • Wrote 9 chapters in 3 months and self-published a book (link)
  • Create and execute an energizing morning routine - me time until 9:30am - to prioritize health, family time, and creative time before emails
"I can truly say all aspects of my life: family, career, mental and physical health, have been positively affected by our partnership. This has been one of the best decisions of my life."
"He’s helped me uncover limiting beliefs in the way of me fulfilling my vision for myself, team, and organization. Leland challenges me to stay true to my values and take full responsibility for my thoughts, words and actions."

Deepen self-awareness of core values, leadership strengths, and blind spots.

  • ​Went from "putting the armor on" in executive meetings to "opening up with courageous vulnerability"
  • Go from "As CEO, I need to know all the answers to being comfortable - even excited - in the not knowing
  • Wrote 9 chapters in 3 months and self-published a book (link)
  • Feel less stressed, anxious, and overwhelmed
  • Wake up in the morning feeling energized
  • Create and execute an energizing morning routine - me time until 9:30am - to prioritize health, family time, and creative time before emails
"One of the pieces that has been the most powerful is the awareness that I've developed around patterns that I've had. You've pushed me to grow in my leadership in ways that I have never pushed myself to grow in."
​"What felt true about it was I was being me and fully able to share who I am, instead of trying to fit into other people's expectations. I want people to connect with my experiences and values, not my titles or the things I've achieved. This is what real freedom is."
"He’s helped me uncover limiting beliefs in the way of me fulfilling my vision for myself, team, and organization. Leland challenges me to stay true to my values and take full responsibility for my thoughts, words and actions."

Improve their relationships

  • Mended frayed co-founder relationships
  • Grew the confidence to navigate difficult conversations with calm presence, clear boundaries, and compassion
  • Become a more conscious parent
  • Say yes to her heart, now engaged to her middle school sweetheart
"My best friend, who I met when I was 14, and I were questioning whether or not we should be together. I loved him beyond words, but I was paralyzed and mentally running away. I never imagined myself embracing an interabled, interfaith, and interracial relationship. I created a story about who I “should” be with, and didn’t give myself permission to love differently. Leland saw in me what I couldn’t see in myself, and acknowledged the love I was too afraid to express. His words and acceptance struck me. From that moment, I was able to give myself permission to love the way I wanted to love, and now we’re happily engaged!"
"​Because of the way you call me out, you've pushed me to connect with people more authentically, truthfully, and confront things head on, opposed to maneuvering around things.  You love me through it and you help me see a way through it that will ultimately be serving to everybody."

Improve their teams and companies

  • Gracefully navigate 3 C-Suite transitions in a 9 month period
  • Redesigned a team culture amid the pandemic based on values of collaboration, productivity, continuous learning, and FUN
  • Achieved profitability for the first time during a global pandemic
  • Presented at board meetings with confidence and humility
"Our team has never ever been in a better place than we are now, holistically.  That is definitely because of the work that we did - it's at the center of that."
"I look forward to my management meetings now. And I've been able to create this kind of safe, collaborative, honest space with my executive team."

I'm not your typical coach

  • I work with a maximum of 15 clients at a time to give you the most of my presence and support
  • We use a powerful online coaching system to track all of your progress in one place - action items, metrics, worksheets, files
  • I draw upon principles of mindfulness, behavioral psychology, neuroscience, stoicism, positive psychology, and flow states - both from academic frameworks and first-hand lived experience
  • I require all my clients to devote at least 30 minutes every week to journaling and reflection
  • I take a holistic, integrative approach to the whole you: health, mindset, relationships, leadership
"The practice of weekly journalling and deep structured reflection has strengthened my ability to live in the present moment, and process feelings, events and stimulus as it occurs."

I do my best work with leaders who...

  • Are already on a path of self-development and continuous learning
  • Care deeply about others, sometimes to a fault
  • Believe that self-care is a prerequisite for high productivity
  • Deeply desire to make a lasting positive impact on society
  • Are open-minded and up for experimenting and prototyping
  • Have some sort of spiritual practice (yoga, meditation, nature, martial arts, belief in being part of something greater)
  • Most importantly, really want change and are committed to taking responsbility for their own growth
