Meet our founder

Dr. Tenny Mickey (Dr. T)

Our founder, Dr. Tenny Mickey (Dr. T) envisioned these small, globally focused learning “cafes” as stimuli for members to gain expansive leadership learning experiences. Drawing from her extensive academic research in Organizational Psychology, Media Psychology, and practical experiences in global executive leadership roles in Fortune 50 organizations, Dr. T is an inveterate learner that as she says, “…learns something new, from someone else, EVERYDAY! Dr. T can also regale people with recounts of many wonderful experiences spent in Parisian Cafes…do tell!!

The Leader Café Club provides a platform for members to discuss contemporary global leadership situations, create multiple strategies that address organizational challenges, and share positive perspectives and even some not so productive outcomes from their specific global organizational communities.

The Leader Café Club members form broader perspectives of effective leader engagement approaches and outcomes in a variety of global organizational communities.

  Leaders who inspire and motivate their teams by aligning individual goals with the organization’s vision.

  For an organization to thrive, leaders realize they must “shift” towards more open, fluid, and adaptable organizational models.

These leaders must push for initiatives that drive economic growth driven by technologically savvy leaders and organizational members.
