"Transforming Families. Transforming the Future.

Renala is named after the magnificent Baobab trees in Africa because we ask families, What if your family tree became less about the past—and more about the future?

We believe leadership begins at home, which is why we provide families holistic support to have hard conversations, solve conflict, lead with strengths, and co-create a vision, purpose, and values for your lives together.

We use the power of play—using LEGO, art, storytelling, games, and more—through experiential retreats, immersive experiences, and personalized strengths coaching for couples and families.

Play activates up to 80 percent of the brain—whereas talking aloud activates only 15 percent—enabling your family to more quickly and sustainably create new habits and step into the connected and aligned personal, family, and work life you long for.

Geoff Anderson

"A retired Air Force One pilot and former Director of Operations for the Presidential Airlift Group, Geoff brings more than 20 years of military leadership experience into the heart of family transformation work. As one of the elite pilots selected to fly the President aboard Air Force One, Geoff served in one of the most prestigious and high-stakes roles in the military. His career included key leadership roles supporting the White House, combat airlift and humanitarian operations in multiple theaters, and training future fighter pilots at the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training Program. In 2024, Geoff made the courageous decision to retire from military service to co-lead Renala alongside his wife, Brittany. His shift from Presidential pilot to family leadership coach was rooted in a desire not only to be a leader—but to inspire and create them. Through Renala, Geoff now helps families design vision, purpose, and values together, using experiential retreats, coaching, and play-based tools to help families better understand one another, build stronger support systems, and co-create a vision, purpose, and values for their family. He is the co-author of the book, Living Room Leadership."


Garrett Boorojian hosts WaveCapital's Guest Speaker Series on Relationship Building in a Team Environment, a podcast that digs into the human dynamics behind high-stakes success.
