About Me — Leif Meneke
“Nature is the greatest of all healers and teachers.” ~ Leif Meneke
Hello -
My name is Leif Meneke.
I guide visionary CEOs, VCs, Founders, and entrepreneurs into alignment with Nature so they can optimize performance and live a good life.
My work blends leading-edge science, ancient wisdom traditions, the modern art and science of leadership, and connection with Nature, the greatest of all healers and teachers.

The Wake Up Call
August 2010.

Floating above the rivers were what looked like little white fluffy clouds.
I had left my job as VP of Talent and Leadership for a global investment bank headquartered on Wall Street a year earlier to focus solely on my health. A medication I was taking to treat one of the life-threatening illnesses I faced was causing severe side effects, including gaps in my vision.
