In order for this internal and leadership transformation to take root for long-term impact, we will spend a year with each participant in a cohort of 10-15 entrepreneurial, missional leaders. Those in the cohort will meet quarterly (every three months) for intensive 3-day seminar sessions to develop their capacity to strengthen their organizations to achieve their vision and mission.
Learn anywhere, from any device. Our app based microlearning courses put learning in the palm of participants hands in short, manageable, interactive lessons.
Tier 1: Discovering Your Need – Walks through an overview of the 5 Principles of Global Leadership to help participants narrow down their leadership growth area.
Tier 2: Defining Your Need – Upon completion of Tier 1, participants advance to more focused lessons designed to further target the area they desire to grow in leadership. They will be connected with a private leadership community and hear from local facilitators.
Tier 3: Solutions For Your Need – Upon completion of Tier 2, participants will have access to the entire course library, one-on-one time with a local facilitator and experts to help guide them through developing a specific plan to address their need.

We develop leaders regionally in 3 countries and growing. We recruit local leaders to participate in person and through a combination of online presentation by our faculty and a local facilitator we help them apply the Five Principles of Global Leadership to their leadership and organization.
