London didn’t set out to be “an HR guy.” He set out to ‘inner.stand’ people (aka: a deeper look). The real kind of understanding – the kind that happens in the messy middle of high-stakes conversations, difficult decisions, and the moments where you either choose courage OR comfort.
Twenty-plus years and thousands of leadership conversations later, he’s a straight-whiskey-speaking-executive known for helping leaders speak clearly, think deeply, and stay grounded when the pressure hits.
Armed with a bachelor’s degree in finance and a master’s in public administration, London lives at the intersection of:
He is a senior certified HR professional (SHRM-SCP) and was named Human Resources Professional of the Year in 2025, which is a fancy way of saying: he’s spent more than Malcom Gladwell’s 10,000 hours helping workplaces stop making things harder than they need to be.
If you’ve seen his 90-second leadership videos on LinkedIn, you know the vibe: part professor, part coach, part “did-he-just-say-that-out-loud?” and a friend who tells the truth, as London says, “in a compassionately firm way”. He believes leadership is not a title – it’s a daily practice.
A decision. A vibration. And he’s obsessed with using his God-given talents to help raise the vibration of the planet and the workplace.
His mission is deceptively simple: Help leaders perform better under pressure… one skill, one day, and one conversation at a time.
His latest book, Think – Lead – Repeat, is not here to lecture you. It’s here to walk with you. To nudge you. To poke you (gently, but intentionally). To remind you that the leader you are becoming is already inside you – you’re simply clearing the mental runway.

The thing that stood out to me as a reader was both the unique way the author crafted these lessons and the way readers can interact with the book. The author breaks these micro-lessons into 1-page lessons, divided by month and day, allowing the reader to follow them almost like a daily motivational page to keep the day moving forward. On top of this, readers can pick up this book at any time and often return to it time and again to engage with the lessons they need most in times of crisis or uncertainty.
The Verdict
Authentic, honest, and engaging, author London Porter's "Think Lead Repeat" is a must-read nonfiction motivational business read. The expertise and heart with which the author writes and the way readers are able to take in these lessons at their own pace and put them into action to see the change in their leadership skills will resonate with readers and keep them returning to this book anytime they need more drive and inspiration to move forward in business.
Think Lead Repeat isn’t a leadership book you read once and forget. It’s the kind you keep nearby and come back to when work feels heavy, decisions feel messy, or leadership starts to feel performative instead of real. What I loved most is the format. Each page is a short, daily leadership lesson — no long chapters, no fluff, no “guru talk.” Just clear, honest insights about decision-making, confidence, emotional intelligence, communication, and showing up better at work. It’s practical in the best way. I could read one page in a few minutes and still walk away with something useful to apply that same day. The tone is smart, human, and refreshingly real. It feels like advice from someone who has actually been in the room for hard conversations, not someone preaching from the sidelines. The reflection questions and action steps make you pause and think, instead of just nodding along. If you’re a leader, manager, or someone who wants to grow without being overwhelmed, this book is a solid daily companion. Small lessons, repeated with intention — and it really works.
Think-Lead-Repeat is a refreshing leadership book built on daily practice, not grand theories. London Porter offers 369 short, actionable micro-lessons that meet you in real life: emails, meetings, and hallway moments. The tone is honest, practical, and experience driven. It emphasizes consistency over intensity and progress over perfection. A powerful companion for leaders who are tired of knowing and ready to start doing.
