As a leadership development organization, we understand our program isn't for everyone. While we truly believe everyone, everywhere, has the potential to develop their capacity to lead others, we also know not everyone has the desire. We understand why, and to help us provide the best experience possible for all our participants we have two primary requirements to join any of our programs.
The first is one must have the personal desire to significantly increase their leadership capacity. What does that mean? It means our programs are never mandatory but are always self-selecting. While we want everyone possible to get involved in one of our programs, the decision is ultimately yours and yours alone. Even for students under the age of 18, this isn't a program your parents or guardians can force you to participate in- you've got to want it.
The second is one must be able to commit to the full program structure. We've spent many years designing, measuring, and fine-tuning our program model and what we've learned is it works. But it requires one to show up, no short cuts. These two requirements are the base to our “secret sauce” and without them, we aren't able to create the experience necessary to drive our results.
Sound like something you're up for? If so, take some time to learn more about our programs and submit an online application.
