I'm Leland.It's not about me.
It's about the next generation. I believe it's our responsibility to make the world a little better for those who come after us. To do that, we need as many people to break free of old paradigms and awaken to an innate way of leading that is driven by love, empathy, and human connection - not fear. To lead others effectively through meaningful and sustainable change, we must prioritize leading ourselves. It is my greatest joy to guide people to unlock their highest potential so that they can achieve extraordinary success AND personal well-being. We're all in this together. |
The way you do that has pushed me to grow in my leadership in ways that I have never pushed myself to grow in. It's the balance you bring of so much love but then also so much devotion and commitment to me and my growth that I feel so accountable in doing what I say I'm going to do and standing for what I believe in because I know I'll be a better person because of it.
Having you as a presence in my life and a consistent touch point, I'm able to really honestly share my obstacles and my challenges, and have a clear vision for where I want to go. One of the pieces that has been the most powerful is the awareness that I've developed around patterns that I've had. I've become a lot more honest. I'm a lot more honest with myself and what's hard. My natural tendency is to just be either really positive and pretend I'm not going through really hard things. Before I was too embarrassed to admit things and lost an opportunity for growth. I felt like I always needed to have all my shit together. Because of the way you see me, and calling 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. I've never felt that seen before. Our team has never ever been in a better place than we are now, holistically. And that is definitely because of the work that we did - it's at the center of that. I've had tons of different coaches but you're my favorite by far.

Leland’s coaching ability is a reflection of his own life: healthy, positive, conscientious and successful.
The conversations we've had about life, relationships, work, etc have been incredibly meaningful and fulfilling for me. I think the feedback you’ve given me over the course of those conversations was invaluable, and a testament to your ability to listen, absorb, and help surface meaningful insights. 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. You're a great human being and I've valued our relationship from the start. Konstantin Bokarius Chief Technology Officer, Topanga Partners, Healthcare |
Before I met you, I was stuck, trying to muscle my way through some tough business issues.
Over the last few months working together, I've been having more open conversations - being more transparent and willing to say "I don't know" - what I'm realizing is I don't have to have all the answers. It allows my executive team to figure this out together. What's more, the team is far more focused and I'm seeing a lot of progress on their end as a result of us having a better working relationship. 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. Christian Spletzer Founder and CEO, Clockwork Recruiting |
Leland always helps me to bring clarity and focus. He provides a safe yet creative space to allow my thoughts to deepen and expand. Leland has a genuine interest in helping people be their best and it comes through in his coaching. So grateful for these experiences!

It is mind-blowing at how much has happened in a couple of months.
I co-founded the Lua Non scholarship. I am so happy that I can help students in Vietnam to attend a school. Receiving their scholarship applications, learning about their struggles, and knowing that I can help has been incredibly empowering. The biggest change for me has been switching my state of mind to, "I CAN do it". Even if I don't have prior knowledge/credentials/experience, I know I can figure out how to accomplish a goal, complete the project given that I am passionate about it. I have more confidence in pursuing and leading new projects going forward. Leland helps me see the good in myself. He always invokes higher appreciation for myself, reminds me of what is important to me, what I am good at, and that simply, I'm worthy. Leland is understanding, compassionate, non-judgmental, and gives me hope on the days that I don't have it. It feels good to be around someone who believes in you regardless of what you are going through. No matter what your dream is, no matter what challenge you want to take on, Leland will help you move one step closer and grow your confidence in doing the impossible.

Your coaching pushed me to access a powerful strong vision for my future and the impact that I can make in the world.
You helped me realize that I will act as a strong advocate for diversity among underserved communities in parallel to building my new business. I'm feeling more confident than ever that I will succeed! Tutti Tagerly Product Design Leader at Facebook |
When we met, the pandemic and lockdown hit. My current field of work was shut down.
Working with Leland has been very valuable - an opportunity to see things differently and take an active role in transforming my future. He's very articulate and able to quickly phrase what he observes about me from what I say. He is reflective (able to capture qualities about me and reflect back), supportive (of my capabilities and value of experiences) and mind-bending (thinking differently). It's been hard to use the word "thrilled" this year. But my conversations with Leland have changed my perspective from what I had to do to fit in to dreaming of what I wanted.
