Welcome to my profile! With a robust background in strategic communications and public relations, I bring a wealth of experience from leading roles at The Home Depot, Pretium, and the NFL.

I've led design initiatives that impact thousands globally. In doing so, I’ve had to navigate constant stakeholder management across diverse cultures. Through this, I’ve honed clear, effective communication skills that have elevated my design work. My experience spans tech companies of all sizes—I've been the solo designer at a 7-person startup (later acquired by Datadog), one of four designers at a 100-person startup searching for product-market fit, and part of a growing design team in a 6,000-person scale-up preparing for IPO (from 20 to now 60 designers). This journey has equipped me with the ability to translate complex ideas, insights, and opportunities into well-structured projects that secure buy-in from even the most challenging stakeholders—across cultures, time zones, and remote settings. Now, I leverage this skill to help product designers enhance their communication strategies. Whether you're looking to improve professional interactions or refine your presentation skills, I’m here to guide you. Let’s connect and take your communication to the next level!

Throughout my 10+ years in Big Tech, from Software Engineer to Senior PM and Coach at Microsoft, I've seen firsthand how critical strong communication is. It’s not just about what you say, but how you say it. I’ve helped people who were nervous about presentations, unsure how to get their ideas across in meetings, or struggling to connect with their audience. My own journey involved learning to present complex technical ideas clearly and persuasively to executives, peers, and customers. I’ve taken those lessons and combined them with my coaching experience to help you: - Speak with clarity and confidence: We'll work on structuring your thoughts, refining your message, and delivering it in a way that feels natural and engaging. - Conquer public speaking anxiety: I’ll share practical techniques that have worked for me and many others to help you feel more comfortable and in control, whether you're speaking to a small group or a large audience. - Tailor your communication: Learn to adapt your style for different situations, from team updates and one-on-one conversations to formal presentations and interviews. If you're ready to improve how you communicate, present your ideas more effectively, and lead with greater impact, I'm here to help you find your voice and make it count.

I work with high-performing professionals who need their communication to match the level of their thinking. Most of my clients are already strong operators. What brings them to me is the sense that something important is getting lost in translation, culturally, politically, or interpersonally. They may be preparing for a board presentation, navigating a difficult stakeholder dynamic, or trying to lead more effectively across countries and teams. I have trained professionals from more than 20 nationalities, and 100% of my clients report improved workplace communication. I have done this work with clients at Netflix Korea, Woven by Toyota, and Banco Santander. Before that, I led global content at On through its IPO. We always start with what is real: the presentation, conversation, email thread, or team dynamic in front of you right now. From there, I help you communicate with more clarity, authority, and trust so that what you mean is what other people actually hear. If your success depends on being understood across different contexts, book a session.

Throughout my career, I’ve spoken to audiences of over a thousand and coached clients preparing for interviews, panels, and presentations. I know how important it is to not just communicate clearly, but to communicate in a way that’s memorable and impactful. I've trained staff to become more confident and effective public speakers, equipping them with practical skills to engage audiences and share their stories with ease. As an ICF-Certified Coach, I help clients build confidence in their voice. Whether you’re preparing for a major presentation, looking to improve everyday communication, or simply want to feel more comfortable speaking up, we'll work together to build the strategies you need to own the room with confidence.

Welcome to my profile! As a Master Communication Coach with an MBA from Michigan's Ross School of Business, I bring a unique blend of experience from leading companies like Google, Amazon, and Square. My role as a Senior Program Manager at Google allowed me to lead cross-functional teams and refine my skills in delivering clear and impactful communication. With a background in supply chain management and project engineering, I excel at simplifying complex ideas and presenting them persuasively. Let's work together to boost your confidence and effectiveness as a communicator—reach out to start your journey today!

Most leaders who struggle to communicate aren't unclear thinkers. They're clear thinkers with a translation problem. The ideas are there. The credibility is there. But in the room where it counts, the message doesn't land the way it should. That's exactly what I work on. With 25 years as a global leader and leadership communication coach, I've helped hundreds of professionals at LinkedIn (Microsoft), Gilead Sciences, Databricks, T-Systems, and other Fortune 500 firms close the gap between what they know and how they're heard. My focus is practical and specific: executive presence, high-stakes conversations, stakeholder influence, and the communication moments that shape careers and decisions. I'm a certified Hogan assessments practitioner and one of a select group of certified facilitators for Ray Dalio's PrinciplesYou, which I use to give leaders a precise picture of how they show up and where communication patterns are holding them back. I'm also the author of Mastering High-Stakes Communication at Work. My coaching gives leaders the frameworks, language, and practice they need to walk into any room prepared and walk out having made an impact.

My clients get into rooms most people only dream about — and then own them. One of my first coaching clients landed an internship at the Obama White House and went on to build a successful speechwriting career. I've coached leaders at Google, Meta, Waze, and Cargill. I was Instagram's first Latin American hire. I've been in high-stakes rooms on every side — as an executive, a performer, and a coach. I work with two types of people on Leland: 1. Students applying to competitive programs who need to write, speak, and interview like they belong there. I help you craft the story that gets you in. 2. Professionals who are smart, accomplished, and ready to reconnect with their story — and use it as their biggest competitive advantage. I help you find it, shape it, and deliver it in a way that makes people remember you. My method blends narrative strategy, performance technique, and hard-won experience across tech, finance, and the stage. No fluff. Just a clearer, more commanding version of you. If you're ready to stop preparing and start landing — let's work.
