Lessons on leadership and building Canopy, written by CEO Claire Lew

👋 Howdy! Claire here, CEO at Canopy. Thanks so much for stopping by.

My life's mission is to help people become happier at work. Over the past decade plus, through Canopy, I’ve helped train 30,000+ leaders at companies such as Airbnb, Netflix, Pixar, and Shopify. I give keynotes and leadership trainings internationally and my writing has been published in Harvard Business Review, CNBC, Inc, Fortune, among others. I’ve also had the honor of serving as an adjunct professor of entrepreneurship at my alma mater, Northwestern University

I’m kicking off this Substack with the launch of our rebrand and new product, Canopy as a way to more deeply share what’s on my mind in all things leadership and business.

I’ve always had a newsletter, but I personally love the UI and reach that Substack has, and so wanted to invest here in this community 💚

Every week, I’ll share insights, best practices, and observations I’m seeing to help leaders face day-to-day challenges. And, I’ll share behind-the-scenes looks at how we run our own customer-funded, software-AND-a-service business.

Look forward to having you join me here!
