"The experience led by Leland over the summer had a transformative impact on our software and business teams. The workshop helped uncover key areas for improvement in our work processes and empowered us to approach challenges with a fresh, creative mindset - and has led to lasting improvements in how we communicate and collaborate."

"In an org-wide effort to help build the Google Cloud Sales team's culture, I was tasked with finding a speaker who could help our team focus on gratitude and mindfulness in order to detach from end-of-year stress. I interviewed several potential speakers and Leland immediately stood out as the best choice. He provided a timely, excellent, and interactive session and quickly built credibility through evidence-based tools. His thoughtfulness and attention to detail ensured a safe space for us to engage and reflect, helping build a stronger sense of culture in our organization. My team continues to rant about how great of a speaker he was."

"When it came time for us to develop our first real strategic plan, I knew I had to get myself out of the way. We were assembling a new ladder and I couldn't be the squirrel drawing everyone's attention. Enter Leland. He coached me through the planning process, herding me to clarity on meeting goals, and nudging me to hold 1:1s with each team member to set the tone. That attention to planning, along with Leland's tactful facilitation, created the collaborative space I sought. We came away with shared understanding and agreement on three strategic focus areas and three crosscutting organizational learning goals. Thank you, Leland, for doing a fabulous job of helping us assemble the right pieces for a ladder, and for holding it steady so we could all jump around together."
