Our Mission

Democratize access to best-in-class leadership development at a scale that makes a difference in the world.

Founded by renowned Harvard Business School Professor Frances Frei, best-selling author Anne Morriss, and technology executive Cara Shortsleeve, TLC partners with the world’s most competitive companies to accelerate the impact of more leaders, teams, and organizations. Participants emerge from TLC’s innovative programming with stronger leadership skills, higher confidence, and better-performing teams.

TLC Values

Achieving this mission requires creating environments grounded in trust, curiosity, openness, and mutual respect. Team members, partners, participants, and alumni embrace these principles as part of the TLC community, and in doing so, they commit to upholding the core values that guide our work together.

Inclusion

We cherish distinct experiences and perspectives. We embrace the heterogeneity of our community by valuing the comfort of our similarities, the joy of our differences, and strength of our collective experiences.

Purpose

We are intentional in our actions and take responsibility for outcomes. We recognize that the quality of our investment in a learning experience directly impacts our ability to grow from it.

Audacity

We believe that significant learning and growth can happen quickly. We encourage boldness and risk-taking and strive to normalize discomfort as an essential part of the leadership journey.

Community

We respect the rights and dignity of everyone in our community. We protect the choice to be vulnerable and the confidentiality of information that may be shared with us along the way.
