Leader development through deep relational mentoring, practical training, and committed community.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters."
Colossians 3:23
Lead by the Name was born not from a strategy session, but from generations of faithful mentoring, lives poured out in service, and a deep conviction that leadership must be lived out through Christ.
Learn Our StoryWe develop well-prepared, confident leaders who thrive in their God-given purpose — through practical resources and deeply relational, personalized mentoring.
A world with healthy, equipped, Christ-centered leaders who inspire transformative change for God’s Kingdom in their communities and beyond.
"Focusing on the few to reach the many" — we believe lasting impact begins with deep investment in a few leaders, who then multiply others.
"Lasting impact begins with deep investment in a deep, intentional relationship."
Eduardo MendesCEO & Founder — Lead by the Name
At Lead by the Name, we believe leadership development doesn’t happen in a classroom — it happens in the depth of intentional relationships, faithful mentoring, and committed community.
Since 2018, we have walked alongside leaders carrying calls greater than their current capacity. We didn’t see that as a deficit — we saw it as an opportunity for mentoring.
Our Full Story →We seek leaders who see their skills, competencies, and training not just as a career — but as an offering at the foot of the Cross. Three pillars define the invitation:
Every process and department exists to ensure that no leader walks alone. Your expertise provides the "scaffolding" that allows the mission to scale with excellence and integrity.
Our singular purpose is to connect those who need guidance with mentors who are equipped, supported, and valued. Your competence ensures that connection is seamless and impactful.
In this mission, mentoring relationships are our foundation, and the mission is the building. Your unique professional background is the key to protecting and multiplying this sacred conviction.
The LBTN model is a living cycle: each stage gives rise to the next, and the final outcome feeds back into the beginning — turning every story into learning for new leaders.
The LBTN ecosystem is not linear — it’s a living cycle. It begins in Relational Environment, where trust and connections are built through mentoring. That bond creates safe space for Learning and Development, which equips the leader with strategic competence. Training then finds real ground in Project Implementation, generating concrete results. Those results are translated into Leadership and Legacy — and every story of impact returns to the ecosystem as a new "case," feeding the cycle and inspiring the next generation of leaders.
Mentoring has been a gift from God in my pastoral journey. At 69 years old, after decades of serving with love and simplicity, I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to be mentored by an experienced pastor. Every conversation is a rich exchange of experiences, learning, and mutual encouragement.
