Founder & Coach

Hi, I'm Torland Charles.

I've spent more than twenty years learning what actually helps people grow — as an individual contributor, a technical lead, a trusted consultant, and now a team leader and mentor. LeVar Coaching is where I put all of it to work for you.

Coaching from the whole climb, not from theory

Founder · LeVar Coaching · A Division of LeVar Holdings

I didn't start in leadership. I started where a lot of the people I coach start — doing the work, proving myself, figuring out the unwritten rules as I went. Over more than twenty years I moved from individual contributor to technical lead, into trusted consulting, and more recently into leading and mentoring a team of my own.

That whole arc is what I bring to coaching. I know what it feels like to be talented and still overlooked, to be handed responsibility before you feel ready, and to have to grow your confidence in public. So I don't coach from a framework I read once. I coach from the road, because I've walked it.

My belief is simple: when people thrive, business responds. Start with the human — their strengths, their fears, where they actually want to go — and performance stops being something you push for and becomes something you unlock.

The Journey

The arc behind the coaching

Every stage taught me something I now use to help you grow.

The Start

Individual Contributor

Learning the craft

Did the work, earned trust, and learned the unwritten rules of corporate life the hard way. This is where I first saw how much natural talent goes unseen.

Growing

Technical Lead

Owning outcomes

Stepped up to guide the work and the people around it — learning that influence isn't about title, it's about how you show up for others.

Broadening

Trusted Consultant

Impact across organizations

Advised on high-stakes engagements — a $2.4B revenue portfolio led to 104% of target, $16.6M in new revenue, and ~30% YoY growth sustained over seven years.

Now

Leader & Mentor

LeVar Coaching · LeVar Holdings

Leading a team and mentoring the next generation — and building a coaching practice around the truth I keep coming back to: when people thrive, business responds.

My Approach

How my background shapes how I coach

The career wasn't a straight line. That's exactly why it's useful to you.

I've been where you are

Overlooked, over-stretched, unsure of the rules — I remember all of it. That memory keeps my coaching honest and grounded in real experience, not slogans.

I lead from strengths

Years of building outcomes taught me that people grow fastest when they lean into what they're already good at. We start with your strengths, not your gaps.

I read the human, not the title

Consulting across organizations taught me to see the person inside the role. I coach the individual in front of me — no templates, no one-size-fits-all.

I care about results that last

Because I've carried real numbers, I know the difference between a quick win and lasting change. My work is aimed at the change that holds.
