Who Thrives Here?
A look into our students' expertise and their thoughts on how Thought Leaders Business School helped them thrive.

David Porter, currently at Red Belt, is an expert in helping leaders focus on moments of influence to expand their presence and effectiveness.
David says that learning to value his presence, responsiveness, and expertise rather than dismiss it as ‘everyone knows this already’ is what has made him more commercially smart; and such insight gives him more confidence in clicking conversations.
When asked what he thinks is the best thing he has gotten out of his time in TLBS, David says “The vulnerability and generosity of Matt and the community to share their paths and deep expertise.”
About his experience in stepping into leadership in his own practice, he generously shares, “In the spirit of ironicity, I am a certified public accountant who dislikes bookkeeping. Despite this, using the template to review days and dollars has changed my focus from showing up whenever someone needs me; to carving out full days on the calendar for thinking and playing. And while I don’t charge hourly rates, understanding the revenue per contact hour helps me target a minimum daily rate of $5,000.”
He ranks Mentor, Facilitator, and Coach as his favorite modes, followed by Trainer, Speaker, and Author.
