WE CONNECT AND DEVELOP LEADERS

OUR MISSION

OUR CORE VALUES

We connect, develop, and add value to leaders who will multiply and add value to other leaders.

Community

We never do life or leadership alone, but in community.

Character

We believe that character development is the most important development.

Growth

We grow to our maximum potential regardless of the cost.

Intentionality

We live life intentionally.

WHAT WE DO

The L3 Leadership Podcast

We are obsessed with helping you grow to your maximum potential and to maximize the impact of your leadership. Therefore, each month we deliver 4 new episodes of the L3 Leadership podcast that will help you grow and develop as a leader.

Mastermind Groups

Mastermind groups are groups of 6-12 leaders that meet twice a month to help each other grow and develop. We believe that every leader needs to be in a Mastermind Group.
