The Lead Today Story

FROM THE DESK OF JIM PIPER, JR.

My journey as a coach began in youth athletics, where I cultivated dedication and strategic thinking. Over time, this passion for coaching extended into my banking career and later to mentoring business clients. Each experience fueled my desire to help others grow.

In my mid-forties, I made a life-changing decision. Though I had enjoyed my roles as a banker, youth coach, and pastor, I knew it was time to fully embrace my purpose—to establish an organization dedicated to serving leaders.

Today, Lead Today is a thriving leadership development organization. Through our proven methods, we help leaders and teams grow stronger, achieve their goals, and make a lasting impact. Whether through keynotes, workshops, coaching groups, or our online community, we are committed to shaping the leaders of tomorrow. Let’s hear your story next—we’d be honored to walk this journey with you.

Purpose & Vision

We exist to serve learners and leaders in their personal and professional development.

Our innovative programs, tools, and experiences are designed to foster lasting development for individuals, teams, and organizations. We focus on the whole person—mind, body, and soul—delivering value that extends beyond the workplace.

Our Philosophy

We believe character is virtue in action; it describes the whole of a person or organization.

We believe character can be defined, measured, and developed.

We believe the development of leadership character within the person and organization should be a positive, practical, and profitable process.

The motivation that drives our purpose comes from both positive and negative emotions and experiences. The negative arises from the effects of poor or immoral leadership. The positive arises from the effects, needs, and experiences of moral leadership.

Foundation & Framework

At the heart of Lead Today is a community of leaders who share our vision. Known as the Lead Today Community, this network supports, practices, and promotes our mission.

The framework of Lead Today offers three tiers of leadership development:

Keynote Presentations: Inspiring ideas to challenge and motivate.

Leadership Development Programs: Structured growth opportunities tailored to individual and team needs.

Executive Coaching: Personalized guidance for top-level leaders.

As part of the Lead Today Community, you’ll join a network of like-minded individuals who are passionate about making a difference. Embrace the Lead Today Charter, contribute to the movement, and be part of a collective effort to create a better future.
