I founded Leland Thompson Coaching in 2012 with one clear purpose: to assist leaders in their transformation. My mission is to guide you through your professional journey, but not with gentle hand-holding—I’ll challenge you to sharpen your leadership skills, build high-performing teams, and achieve results that matter. This isn’t about feel-good platitudes; it’s about actionable strategies, accountability, and growth.

With over a decade of experience, the coaches and trainers I partner with have honed expertise in working with leaders and executives across industries like technology, education, retail, and more. We don’t just stop at traditional coaching—we go further. From training and development and mastering presentation skills to acing interview preparation, we provide a comprehensive growth experience designed to push you beyond your current limits.

Before launching my coaching practice, I cut my teeth in leadership roles at Fortune 500 powerhouses like Apple Inc. and Gap Inc. I led diverse teams, drove year-over-year sales growth, and delivered operational excellence. Those experiences didn’t just shape my career—they shaped my coaching philosophy. I know what it takes to win in high-stakes environments, and I’ll bring that same intensity to your development.

But leadership isn’t just about what you do in the boardroom—it’s about who you are outside of it. I’ve served on boards for non-profits, volunteered with Habitat for Humanity in Honduras, and worked with youth on leadership initiatives. I’ve coached TEDx presenters to deliver their best performances. In my personal life, I’m committed to evolving every day through health, meditation, and fitness.

I’m a husband, a father, and someone who believes in nurturing the spirit. Whether it’s through drawing, photography, acting, or cycling, I make time for what fuels me. Because leadership isn’t just about what you achieve—it’s about how you live.

If you’re ready to step up, I’ll show you how to lead with purpose, drive, and confidence. Let’s get to work.
