About TLB
Enjoyable Leadership.
One cup at a time.
Welcome to The Leader’s Brew—a weekly pour of insight and practical tips for modern leaders navigating a noisy world.
Each issue is designed to help you lead with more clarity, heart, and intention.
Leadership is personal. It’s messy. It matters more than ever.
We’re here to make it a little easier—and a lot more human.
🧠 Who We Are
We’re a collective of thinkers, builders, and everyday leaders doing leadership differently.
Our mission?
To help you become the kind of leader others trust, follow, and remember.
We’re not here to overload you with information—you already have plenty of that.
Whether you’re managing a team, building something from scratch, or rediscovering your purpose mid-career—we’re here to grow with you...and remind you why self-care is vital 😄
🔍 What’s Brewing Each Week
At the core of every issue is our signature 4-part format:
- ☕️ 1 habit to strengthen your mindset
- 🔍 1 challenge to stretch your comfort zone
- 🧭 1 real-world example to learn from
- 🚀 1 future-focused tip to keep you ahead
Sharp, simple, and easy to act on.
