We equip you with the skills, strategies, and systems to build a scalable business that changes lives… without sacrificing your freedom along the way.
We believe experts like you create meaningful change… in both the lives of every customer you work with, AND the people they are connected to. That’s why we care so deeply about helping YOU grow and share your work with more people.
Years ago… deep into a day-long planning meeting, we created a mission statement that’s guided us every day since:
This mantra motivates us to expand and refine our own work, and helps us focus on building only what accelerates your success. Because we know the “ripple of impact” reaches so much further when you succeed.
We believe proactive and transparent communication helps everyone. We are humble. We share openly and invite others to share too – without fear of judgment. We ask for support when we need it. We make an effort to always be aligned with colleagues and clients.
We are always learning and improving professionally and personally. We push beyond our comfort zone. We empower others to succeed. We seek and offer mentorship when needed. We are committed to discovering and understanding new trends, opportunities, and technologies.
We do what we say we will. We never abandon our responsibilities. We own our mistakes and never place blame. We always ask ourselves: “Am I adding value?” We do what’s right – even when it isn’t easy. We allow ourselves to make mistakes, and always clean up our messes.
We document, systematize, measure, and improve. We are highly organized in all that we do. We persistently seek more efficient and effective approaches. We believe that doing our job well helps everyone succeed. Everything we do, we do to the best of our ability and with great attention to detail.
We make simple solutions to complex problems. We seek the 20% that generates 80%.

The Privacy Policy below discloses our practices regarding information collection and usage solely for the web site located at thoughtleadersinstitute.com and thrivingthoughtleader.com (the “Service”).

Key aspects of our privacy practices described in this Privacy Policy include the following explanations:
The information we collect and why we collect it;

The choices we offer.
Personally Identifiable Information That We Collect:
We do not collect personally identifiable information from you unless you voluntarily provide it to us. The personally identifiable information which you may provide to us could include your name, email address, physical address, credit card number and other personal information. Please note that your information may be saved as you enter it into any form.
Non-Personal Or Aggregate Information That We Collect:
When you access our Service or use the TLI services, we may automatically collect non-personally identifiable information from you, such as IP host address, web pages viewed, browser type, operating system, referring service, search information, device type, page views, usage and browsing habits on the Service and similar data. We may also aggregate demographic information collected from our users (such as the number of users in a particular state) in a manner which does not identify any one individual. We may also aggregate information collected offline in connection with the Service or use of our services, obtain non-personally identifiable information from third party sources and develop aggregate information by anonymizing previously collected personally identifiable information.
It is possible at times when collecting non-personally identifiable information through automatic means that we may unintentionally collect or receive personally identifiable information that is mixed in with the non-personally identifiable information. While we will make reasonable efforts to prevent such incidental data collection, the possibility still exists. If you believe that we have inadvertently collected your personal information, please notify us at support [@] thoughtleadersinstitute.com.
