Human Leadership Institute

What Human Leadership Institute does

Human Leadership Institute (HLI) is a boutique leadership and culture advisory practice headquartered in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area and operated as a brand under JLynne Consulting Group, LLC. Founded by Jen Croneberger in 2011, the firm targets C-suite leaders and executive teams at large enterprise and government organizations whose leadership systems are under strain, selling high-touch engagements focused on trust, alignment, and culture transformation. Its named client roster includes Samsung, HARMAN, Nike, Procter & Gamble, Lockheed Martin, NASCAR, DOW, General Mills, Takeda, Johnson & Johnson, Penn Medicine, Northeastern Mutual, the US Department of Defense, the NIH and the USDA.

The firm's core intellectual property is the HLI Human System Architecture, a methodology stack that combines three diagnostic instruments (Human Systems Gap Analysis, Human Systems Dynamics Map, Human Systems Integrity Index) with proprietary leadership frameworks: the HLI Relational Leadership Model, the B.R.A.V.E. Human Leadership framework (registered trademark), the HUMAN Model for Change, and the HLI Trust Architecture. Service delivery is structured as a tiered engagement ladder, moving from a 30-minute Executive Briefing call to a formal HLI Human System Diagnostic and into sustained Enterprise Leadership System Partnerships. Supplementary revenue-adjacent offerings include a self-paced B.R.A.V.E. online course, a free B.R.A.V.E. Leadership Quadrant self-assessment, and two published books by the founder.

Revenue mechanics are professional-services based with no publicly disclosed pricing. The go-to-market is sales-led and founder-anchored, supported by earned-media distribution through the Forbes Coaches Council, TEDx speaking appearances, podcast features and active LinkedIn presence. With a stated headcount of 1-10 employees and no disclosed external funding or institutional investors, the operating model is a founder-led boutique dependent on Jen Croneberger's personal brand, client relationships and thought-leadership position.
