– I love my manager

We’re here to make
“I love my manager” a common sentence.

Because the manager experience is the employee experience. And that experience should feel like support, not stress.

– Why We Exist

Where Culture Breaks — and Where It Begins

When employees quit, it’s rarely about the company. It’s about who leads them.

We started Mindslines because too many first-time managers are thrown into leadership without preparation — and it’s costing companies their culture.

We believe leadership is a skill, not a personality trait. And it’s a skill anyone can learn — with the right support.

We exist to change the story for new managers — and for the teams depending on them.

— What We Do

We Turn First-Time Managers Into Culture Builders

We don’t do generic training. We do personalize transformative development that actually sticks.

  • Untangle complex challenges
  • Strengthen self-awareness
  • Navigate transitions with clarity

We help new managers and emerging leaders lead with confidence, clarity, and empathy — through practical, human-centered programs rooted in coaching, behavioral science, and real-world leadership.


— Meet the Founders

We Practice What We Coach

We’re three women. Two coaches. One psychologist. And one aligned belief: Leadership is how culture gets built… and broken.

We didn’t meet in theory. We met in practice — coaching leaders, facilitating teams, and watching what works (and what doesn’t) up close.

We’re:

  • Marelys – The strategist. Obsessed with creativity, frameworks, and making an impact on others.
  • Noelia (Coco) – The culture builder. Empathetic, deeply intuitive, and focused on behavior change.
  • Bhavna – The challenger. Cuts through noise, gets to the root, and builds unshakable confidence.

“I believe in engaging teams to co-create an organizational culture that recognizes the importance of empowering everyone to succeed, take responsibility for their own growth, and actively seeking continuous improvement and happiness. at work”.

That’s why Mindslines isn’t just a product. It’s a promise: to equip new managers with what they really need to lead.

We believe leadership isn’t just a skill set. It’s a relationship with the people you serve.

And we bring our whole selves to that relationship.

— The Change We’re Creating

“I love my manager” shouldn’t be rare.

Retention. Results. Culture. Energy. It all rises with the right leaders.

We want to hear it more often. In meetings. In 1:1s. In exit interviews. In Glassdoor reviews. Because when leadership is human, supportive, and clear — everything gets better.

Our success isn’t just measured by completion rates. It’s measured in:

  • A manager who goes from anxious to trusted
  • A team that starts actually enjoying their 1:1s
  • A company that doesn’t lose its best people to bad bosses

We don’t just talk leadership.

We build it into people — so they can build better teams.
