You're accomplished. Still hungry?
The "more" isn't another book, another podcast, or another leadership hack. It's sharper company. Better questions. Real challenge.
Leadership TBD serves two elite paths:
CEOs, founders, and business owners who are accomplished — but restless. Those who know that what got them here won’t get them where they’re going.
Executive coaches who want to go deeper — beyond models and techniques, into the thinking, identity, and presence that transforms their work.
If you’re ready for the kind of growth that only happens in the company of serious peers, you’re in the right place.

There’s no playbook for what's next
And when it comes to driving performance, delivering greater value, and stepping into your most audacious vision — the old playbook won’t cut it.
The pace of change is too fast. The complexity too high. The pressure too real.
Leaders today must learn in the moment, and for the moment, if they want to stay ahead. That means letting of habits that once served you — and embracing entirely new ways of thinking, being, and doing.
The brutal truth? What got you here won’t get you to wherever you want to be.
It’s time to shatter the pattern, to make possible what’s necessary and necessary what’s possible, and to lean into new ways of thinking, being, and doing in leadership.

Challenging leaders to think differently, be better, & do less to accomplish even more
These are curated communities of accomplished leaders—no spectators, no shortcuts. Just CEOs, founders, and executive coaches willing to be challenged, seen, and changed.
Driven by purposeful challenge, mutual accountability, and strategic insight, Leadership TBD is for those who know that the quality of their thinking is shaped by the quality of the people they think with.
It’s time for serious leaders to adopt a new learner’s mindset—one that recognizes that “any way of seeing is a way of not seeing,” one that “always asks if there’s another way,” and one that empowers you with “the courage to be ruthless about learning…and unlearning.”
Those are the words of Dr. Lee Thayer, whose life’s work transformed how we understand leadership.
Leadership TBD (Thinking, Being, Doing)—based on Dr. Thayer’s work and led by his protégé and successor, Joelle Thayer—exists to eliminate the habits, assumptions, and mental shortcuts that no longer serve you. And to surround you with peers who will never let you go back to how it was before.
