Guest Expert: Alicia Butler Pierre
At TLP we believe operating in your Zone of Genius and playing to your strengths is key to success. It’s that mindset that leads us to seek out Guest Experts for our Cohort Members to learn from and connect with. We don’t claim that any one person can know everything, so we’re always looking for ways people can contribute their own fresh and valuable ideas.

This week, we welcomed Guest Expert, Alicia Butler Pierre. Alicia is on a quest to revolutionize the way small businesses operate. She does that by speaking, coaching, writing, lecturing, and podcasting. She is the Founder & CEO of Equilibria, Inc. and the bestselling author of Behind the Façade, the world’s first published book on business infrastructure. She hosts the weekly Business Infrastructure podcast, which ranks in the world’s top 2%. She’s an adjunct instructor of Lean Principles at Purdue University and Operations Management at Nichols College. A chemical engineer turned entrepreneur, she’s advised, designed, and optimized processes for organizations including Coca-Cola, Shell Oil, The Library of Congress, and The Home Depot.
We had the privilege of hosting Alicia as a guest speaker for our EYT Cohort, the group of integrators who support our Founder CEO Members and who are charged with the execution and accountability side of the business. Originally reaching out to her to learn more about her journey to Lean Six Sigma, we quickly knew that there was so much to learn from her.
We were thrilled to have her come teach a workshop! Alicia talked to us about how we first need to have key business infrastructure pieces in place before we can optimize them with something like Lean Six Sigma. She dove deep into how we can not only develop these systems, but also how to increase buy-in and success within your team along the way.
Our EYT Cohort Members learned so much valuable information from our Guest Expert Alicia and are looking forward to having her back again for a part 2. If you’d like to learn more about her, check out her website here.
We’re always looking for Guest Experts to bring value and expertise to our Cohorts. Reach out today to learn more about membership so you don’t miss out on the next one!
