Supporting Purpose-Driven Leaders

Being a purpose-driven leader isn’t easy. Sometimes, it feels like you’re navigating this journey alone. But here’s the good news—you’re not.

At Tech Leadership Lab (TLL), we hear countless stories of leaders like you who face unique struggles. We even hosted a “Doing Good Burnout” show many months ago, which resonated deeply with our community.

To bring you inspiration, hope, and a dose of gratitude, we wrote The Tale of Role-Model Leadership as one of our Sunday articles on LinkedIn.

You are here because, in one way or another—as a tech founder, entrepreneur, innovator, investor, researcher, academic, activist, policymaker, or NGO—you are dedicated to advancing the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Our founder, Cristina Imre, shares a heartfelt message that embodies the spirit of TLL:

Reach out anytime—our ecosystem is growing, and while building such a significant structure takes time and nurturing, progress is happening behind the scenes. We are here for you, not just to offer words of support, but to facilitate whatever you need.

This is not a short-sided game. It’s a lifetime journey of continual build to fulfill our purpose and be good ancestors.

TLL is dedicated to becoming the most action-oriented think tank and ecosystem imaginable. If you want to contribute to this mission, reach out. There’s plenty of work to be done, and we’re in this together.

Sports, Olympics, and Climate: Guest Edition

A great read from the Talking Climate newsletter.

A snippet:

“The 2024 Paris Olympic Games began last Friday, just one week after the latest “hellishly hot” heatwave baked the continent. Understandably, people are becoming more and more worried about the impacts of extreme heat on athletes and fans at the summer games, as well as the fact that climate change is rapidly rendering many winter Olympic venues untenable.”
