Meaningful Leadership for a Better World

Do you want to make a positive change in the world? Do you want to develop your leadership skills to create positive and meaningful change? Like many, you may be worried about the current state of our world - its runaway societal and ecological crises, the scale of the challenges we face. You may be wondering: how do I transform difficult emotions like despair or overwhelm into creative and inspired engagement?

Through deep experiential work, philosophical inquiry and practical skill-building, you will discover what you truly stand for and learn to engage with world challenges from a place of grounded compassion. You will explore what a meaningful life truly means to you, sharpen your vision for the world, and build the capacity to lead with moral ambition. You will cultivate active hope, creative engagement, and move from reflection to inspired action.

Through deep introspection and leadership development, you will learn to:

Clarify your unique path as a leader for positive change Deepen understanding of your inner strengths and growth areas Discover your authentic leadership voice and presence Connect with your core values and driving purpose Learn to inspire and engage others from a place of authentic leadership

We explore diverse subjects such as moral ambition, compassionate communication, the psychology and philosophy of purpose and meaning, positive psychology of character strengths, parts work (Voice Dialogue/Hakomi), Joanna Macy’s ‘the work that reconnects’ and her concept of active hope, Roman Krznaric’s concept of the good ancestor, relational mindfulness, loving presence, embodiment practices and widening the circle of moral concern.

Over the course of the week, we focus on:

Develop a strong vision: Sharpen your vision for the good and discover where you can make a meaningful contribution to the world. Bridge differences with others: Explore how to work with different perspectives, values, and interests in the world around you, learning to build bridges where there is resistance to change. Overcome personal barriers: Work with your own doubts, fears, and limiting beliefs, transforming them into sources of understanding and growth. Take next steps: Develop, formulate, and commit to clear intentions for your path forward, moving from mere awareness to action and purposeful engagement.
