Founder & Executive Director
Leon VanderPol is an internationally recognized leader, teacher, and author in the field of transformational coaching and conscious living.
At the heart of his work is guiding people to catalyze deep inner transformation through presence and spirit-based ways of being. Leon is an engaging and thought-provoking teacher and mentor whose open, heart-centered style—combined with his never-ending curiosity of the human experience—invites others into profound self-awareness and growth.
"I believe enlightened, self-realized, purposeful individuals can make a huge impact in the world. And I believe coaching and healing are powerful agents of positive, lasting change and evolution."
He is the creator of the Deep Transformational Coaching training program with graduates from more than 35 countries, and is the author of the book A Shift in Being.
Leon’s approach is unique in that it demonstrates a new paradigm of coaching for a new era of living—one in which people are awakening to a deeper truth of who they are, why they are here, and how their higher purpose can be expressed through their lives, relationships, and work in the world.
Leon also travels the world teaching people how to catalyze deep transformation in soulful, presence-based ways.
