Decision-making:
creating life by your own design
We take a closer look at the underlying elements that influence our decision-making, like our environment and the players in it, our mindset and the challenges we encounter. By understanding those elements, we can direct our personal and professional lives in a way that aligns with our needs.
Managing the external players in the playing field
We live in a dynamic environment filled with all kinds of players. This 'Playing Field' not only shapes us as individuals but also heavily impacts our decision-making process. Taking a look inside allows us to understand it, so we can confidently shift the weight of the influences, and become more resilient,
Seeing Clearly:
the power of our intuition
One of the tools that we can use to see clearly is our intuition. Even though we have this wonderful built-in system, our intuition doesn't always get the space due to expectations from the world around us. Developing our intuition often leads to increases in clarity and effective decisions.
Challenges as
opportunities for Growth
Even though challenges are often seen as something we'd like to get away from, they are perfect opportunities for us to grow, to develop new skillsets, to learn about ourselves and the world, and to learn how to take charge of our personal and professional life regardless of what gets thrown our way.
Navigating Life
in Times of Change
The recent pandemic has made it clear once again that throughout our lives we encounter all kinds of minor and major, self-chosen and unexpected, controllable and uncontrollable changes that can deviate our planning and goals slightly but also suddenly push our life in a completely different direction.
Creating life with Courage: managing our fears
When making decisions, we have the choice to create from a place of courage, creativity, and connection, or from a place of disconnection, doubt, obligation and fear. Creating from fear usually leads to more suboptimal decision-making, creating from courage usually leads to more beneficial decision-making.
Unique aspects of our programs
Peer-to-peer focus
All content is developed by young people for young people, and is entirely based on real-world, practical experiences from young people from different cultures, backgrounds from all around the world.
Open and non-judgmental settings
Settings that foster open dialogue and connection and strip away external pressure so that young people can connect clearly to what they feel, think, need, and desire.
Students as expert of their experiences
Instead of seeking answers outside themselves, we approach students as experts, seeking the answers within themselves first and using insights that feel right to them, we create a setting of empowerment.
Real-world and important life topics
Themes that lie at the core of our human experience: decision-making, mindset, navigating change, dealing with external pressures, challenges.
Practical tools and approaches
Students develop and exchange individualized and practical toolbox filled with solutions, insights, life approaches and life-skills.
Workshop facilitators
Our worskhops facilitators come from around the world and most of them are graduates of the international school system.

"A safe place to share perspectives, accept weaknesses and reinforce strengths. To present our aspirations and cut out the toxic noise, and receive constructive criticism, as we debate and grow together. (American, 27)"


"I have taken around.6 talent development courses and this was better than any talent development course." (Salesforce, 29)
"Be confident in yourself and trust your intuition over others opinions and expectations of you. Strengthen your internal filter to accept outside feedback from people you trust and reject from people you don't." (Salesforce, 31)

"It was great! I would take it again and again, maybe with other themes outside of Covid. Just a great program to have as a resource to spend some time in your brain with like-minded people." (Salesforce, 23)
"The intellectual conversations we had building on each other's thoughts and ideas. It truly felt collaborative." (Salesforce, 31)


"I found this workshop incredibly insightful. I've participated in similar workshops through salesforce and they were good but a little less personal than yours. (Salesforce, 24)"
"My team and I thoroughly enjoyed the Global Young Leader's Navigating Life in Times of COVID Workshop. (facilitators) Nancy and Christiaan were awesome, empathic facilitators who took the time to learn about our experiences and shared best practices on how to tackle our pandemic challenges. I would recommend this workshop to any teams who've been working virtually and haven't had a chance to connect on a deeper level to talk about what is going on outside of work. I look forward to exploring more of the Global Young Leader's offerings. Thank you again, Nancy and Christiaan!" (Salesforce, Justin)
