"I'm extremely grateful to have been given the opportunity to participate in the TLC experience. Each session and case study provided me with key operational perspectives that were often times relevant to what was happening in my actual work environment."
Daisy Kane
Associate General Counsel
Ochsner Health System
"This was introduced as a leadership seminar where I was told I would learn how to be a better leader. . . but it is about so much more! This program is about change at the molecular level – retraining your mind to approach challenges differently. It forced me to think critically, confront my shortcomings, and commit to change. It is impossible to end a class and not feel ready to take your organization by storm. What differentiates this from the other leadership courses and seminars is the passion and expertise from each of the speakers. We interacted with and learned from the preeminent authorities in their respective fields. They convert each person into an agent for change. I will not be the same woman, lawyer, mother, employee… I will forever carry with me the faith in my ability to effect change and create inclusion for all."

"A completely immersive and rewarding experience. The TLC classes were by far the most enriching experience I've had in years. The timing of the discussions and learnings were inextricably timed with what I needed as a leader at this very point in my career."

"I am usually skeptical about training programs dedicated to executives, but the TLC experience changed my perspective. The program inspires you to look through a different lens, to think in terms of lasting impact, both personally and professionally. I am now part of a network of professionals with a common vocabulary and understanding of the challenges facing organizations across the globe."

"TLC delivered a dynamic experience and well-rounded leadership curriculum led by renowned professors who are experts in their fields. Frances is an exceptional leader who developed a thoughtful and comprehensive program, and each session was engaging, motivating and encouraged critical thinking. As a participant in the Spring 2020 cohort, TLC became an important tool and weekly touchpoint to reflect on my role as a leader, especially during unprecedented times of change and uncertainty."

"I haven't been to school in over 10 years and this experience helped me build confidence. Like many women of color, I still suffer from "imposter syndrome" as a junior exec at a tech company. The substantive knowledge (strategy, finance), the network, and the confidence I have built through this program are invaluable."
Luisa Gonzalez
Design Director
P&G
"I became a better person, a more insightful, aware person. I today am a better manager than I was when I began the training; I can verbalize clearly to my direct reports their importance, my goals for them as employees and that my only job is to empower them in that success."
Wendy-Kay Logan
Global Director
Google
"TLC was one of the top trainings I have attended at Google. The class format (highly interactive) and makeup (leaders from different companies) encouraged us to step out of our daily priorities and focus on our careers. The 1:1 coaching complemented the classroom: I used my coach as an unbiased sounding board and we problem solved how to make each class topic practical at an individual level."
Maya Kulycky
Director of Government
IBM
"TLC enhanced my leadership skills with tools that I put to use daily. It created a framework that I apply to help me support my team and colleagues. ‘How am I helping those around me succeed?’ is a question I now ask myself as a colleague, manager, and parent. Thank you for touching others by touching my life."

“This was one of the best experiences in my 20 year professional career. It has certainly prepared me to be a more emotionally intelligent, confident and service minded leader.”

"I was able to learn macro applications of leadership, strategy, change and crisis management in one of the most trying and unprecedented time in my career. TLC gave me a forum to learn from an outside/non-Hulu biased think tank and apply those resources in real-time to my work/team."
Pallavi Srivatsav
Director, Accounting Operations
Survey Monkey
"Although I have attended several leadership classes, TLC was definitely leap years ahead in terms of content. This course was designed perfectly for me and can't wait to apply some of the knowledge gained through TLC. Further, my coach helped me find my inner voice and confidence"

"This program pushed me outside my comfort zone in ways other leadership programs haven't, and yet was a safe place to try/fail. It truly forced a level of interaction and thought development that I have not experienced elsewhere."
Topher Reynoso

Gusto
"I anticipated the experience with TLC to be filled with quality content that would help me develop my career. They certainly delivered in that regard. Additionally, the leadership spotlights and learning team breakout groups were tremendous for taking content and then applying it to my specific challenges and opportunities within my company. This allowed me to be better prepared to take those learnings and leverage them to take my personal career, my team's dynamic, and ultimately my company's perspective to the next level."

"The number of insights I gained in the last 3 months is greater than what I've received across my entire career and leadership journey."

“As an immigrant with a journalism background, I've always felt like a bit of an outsider in more traditional corporate settings. The TLC course helped me realize that I have everything it takes to be a successful business executive.”
