The TLX Model

One way to engage — two experiences.

A focused pilot: one program, two ways to experience it — structured 1:1 growth, and shared monthly learning.

01

TLX Mentorship

1:1 matched pairs · 3-month cohort · min. 1 connect/month

A guided mentorship program connecting LEAD alumni and current participants. Every pair is hand-matched based on industry, challenge, and what you want to give and receive. Join as a mentor, mentee, or peer exchange.

Monthly

Each month opens with a speaker session and discussion reserved for the mentorship cohort, then opens up to the wider LEAD community for a shared conversation. Learning and exchange, in one session.

Why TLX

The LEAD community is full of extraordinary people — but extraordinary people rarely become your thinking partners by accident. TLX gives the momentum somewhere to go: structured mentorship, and a monthly space to learn from and connect with each other.
