Program Overview

Seminars

Participants learn about leadership through integrated seminars taught by experienced leaders in the field. The seminars are very participatory and enable participants to deepen their understanding about leadership and, more importantly, how to grow their personal leadership.

Seminar Topics：Styles of Leadership, Global Leadership, Authentic Leadership, Diversity and Inclusion, …

Individual Reflection

An essential piece of this program will be to create the space for participants to explore more deeply the kinds of personal questions that form who we are as people and as leaders.

Participants will be given a number of prompts and assignments that help them to come to greater clarity on who they are and how they want to shape their future.

Group Project

Participants are assigned to work in a group in partnership with a social business, institution, agency or nonprofit organization working in a field relevant to their interest.

The Group Projects takes place over multiple hours during the 3 weeks of the program. The specifics of the Project work will vary from placement to placement and the needs of the collaborating business or organization.

Examples of Past Group Projects: Ventures, Goodwill, Northwest Center, Tilth Alliance, Social Venture Partners International, Japanese Cultural Community Center of Washington, International Living Future Institute, Ten Thousand Villages, One World Now!, and Pro-Use Produce.

Site Visits

Participants attend a number of Site Visits to local organizations and businesses who are engaged in various forms of social good–including around Fair Trade, organic foods, sustainability, corporate social responsibility, social entrepreneurship, women’s issues, homelessness, and more.

These visits offer participants a unique opportunity to witness business practice from the “inside” and speak directly with those leading this work.

Examples of past Site Visits: Farestart, Seattle Mariners, Theo Chocolate, Starbucks, Microsoft, Tully’s Coffee, Woodland Park Zoo, and PCC.

Advising/Mentoring

We work closely with each participant to help them cultivate clarity around personal and professional direction through personalized advising. This is an opportunity for participants to better understand themselves, their dreams, and the way forward for their lives.
