What our Members are Saying

Terri Graham

Founder Member

“I joined the TLC Alliance to stay connected with other leaders who understand the deep value of The Leadership Challenge. Although I’ve personally utilized The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership for over twenty years as a higher education administrator, I just started my consulting business. I look forward to gaining tips and recommendations from the experts in the TLC Alliance.”


Brittney Majka

Founder Member

“The TLC Alliance is a place where I’ve found peers who truly understand and value leadership the way I do. In this community, I’m able to share my own experiences and research on leadership in everyday life, while also learning from the stories and insights of others. Together, we inspire one another to lead with courage, curiosity, and care.”


Shiridhar Sampath  

Founder Member

“When the TLC Alliance was announced, I signed up immediately for two reasons. First, to be part of a community where I can share and learn best practices on leadership. Second, to know that I have a like-minded community who I can reach out to should I need resources, support, or an empathetic ear. Glad to be here!.”


Stay connected, informed, and inspired with the TLC Alliance.
