I am delighted to announce that Leland Franklin has agreed to become an official CCL Advisor!

We first met Leland in the course of our COVID-19 study, when we interviewed him about his experiences with starting the Covid Compassion Project. We were very impressed with his insightfulness, leadership acumen, empathy, and sense of humor.

Building on his successful career in high-tech project and people management, Leland launched his own executive coaching and leadership development firm, Kenshō Leadership, in 2019. He is now building his coaching practice, and, concurrently, pursuing an MBA at UC Berkeley. He recently facilitated CCL’s first official (and very successful) strategic planning meeting.

One of the focus areas to come out of that meeting was “Mature CCL as an organization.” We will be leaning on Leland for advice as we work that.

Welcome, Leland!
