Dear Leaders of the Future, do you want to mobilize and empower a new generation of conscious leaders in your local community?

Your journey.

We, as a global society, are currently facing a multitude of complex challenges. Now, more than ever, the world is in need of more conscious leaders to take responsibility for solving the known and unknown complex challenges of the future. We need to find better ways of connecting and cooperating glocally and to empower everyone who is ready to create a more thriving world. This is where you come in.Future Leaders (FL) is inviting you to initiate one of 15 new Future Leaders communities around the world which will begin their lifelong journey of conscious and responsible leadership. As an initiator of an FL community, you will practice how to mobilize, coordinate, and facilitate a 21-century leadership development program, thus connecting young leaders and creating impact in your local community. During your journey, you will work autonomously with your local team, while practicing resilience, facilitation, adaptation, self-leadership, and taking responsibility in complex environments. This is right for you if you feel the urgency to act on behalf of your local community and create an impact in the lives of other people.

Why we exist.

Future Leaders Global is a distributed leadership community driven by volunteers who themselves organize and coordinate every aspect of the local leadership programs. For the last six years, over a thousand Future Leaders have graduated from the program. Hundreds of Future leaders have volunteered and contributed to realizing our collective mission and we are now expanding our community to 15+ cities in Africa and Europe. Our objective is for the next three years to empower 100.000 young conscious leaders in all continents of the world to take responsibility for their local communities. This network will take on the responsibility to facilitate a more thriving world. If you also believe that we are the generation that will and have to solve the global crises, we want to work together with you to initiate a Future Leaders program in your local community.

Our Program. The Future Leaders Program (Click here to learn more) focuses on cultivating proactive abilities that are applicable to navigating any situation or challenge in life. The program is aimed at developing personal coping strategies for self-leadership, leadership, and complex problem solving through practice, learning, and challenging each other. The program is divided into three main modules securing both personal and professional growth. In a total of six weekends, each gathering consists of two days of hands-on and highly participatory practice plus preparatory academic work. The three modules are (1) Self, (2) Relations and Collaboration, and (3) System Thinking and Personal Direction. Their Objectives are:

1. Developing the ability to influence oneself through self-leadership, insight, and self-mastery

2. Fostering and building healthy relationships, developing networks, and understanding relational dynamics.

3. Developing system thinking understanding, complex problem-solving skills, and hands-on experience on how to create change in systems.
