THE STORY
behind the name
TALK TO GROW 🌱
People often ask me:
“Len, how did you come up with the name Talk To Grow?”
The truth is, the name carries a lot more meaning than it first appears.
For more than 25 years, I worked with landscapes.
I learned that nothing grows simply because we want it to.
You prepare the soil.
You water it.
You nourish it.
You remove what is choking the roots.
You give it light.
And sometimes… you have to prune what no longer belongs.
Human beings are not that different. 🌱
That’s where TALK TO GROW came from.
TALK.
Because so much of what we carry stays hidden until we give it a voice.
The conversations we avoid.
The emotions we suppress.
The things we never said to our parents, our partners… or ourselves.
Sometimes one honest conversation can reveal a blind spot you have carried for decades.
TO.
For me, “to” represents movement.
From where you are…
to where you want to be.
From pain to understanding.
From reaction to awareness.
From surviving to living.
From the person you were taught to be… to the person you consciously choose to become.
GROW 🌱
And GROW became more than a word.
It became a process.
G — GOAL
What is the outcome you genuinely want?
R — REALITY
Where are you right now?
Not the story. Not the excuse. The truth.
O — OPTIONS
What else is possible when you stop seeing life through the same old lens?
W — WORK
Now we turn awareness into action.
Because insight without action rarely changes a life.
And maybe that is what my years in landscaping taught me before I ever became a coach:
You cannot force growth.
But you can create the right conditions for it.
Prepare the soil.
Understand the roots.
Remove what is no longer serving the plant.
Give it nourishment.
Give it light.
And then something begins to change.
I used to help landscapes grow.
Today, I help people grow.
That is the story behind Talk To Grow Coaching. 🌱
Talk. Move. Grow.
Stop Waiting. Start Living.
DM READY if you’re ready to have the conversation that could change your direction.
