The focus is on individual freedom and application of insights and skills in three basic arenas: Applied Critical Thinking, Systemic Thinking for Complexity, and Self-Knowledge for Taking Initiative. There are Topics in each arena, with the participants taking one month per topic, joining with a small cohort of fellow-travelers who apply the ideas and practices to their unique life circumstance. TheFULCRUM focuses on “HOW” we think; it leaves the “WHAT” we think about to the discretion and interests of the individual. Every topic is equally applicable to our professional life, our personal life, and our life as community members.

This is the first time in the history of the world that young leaders in different cultures can come together, safely, to meet and share in a path of personal and professional and community development. The work is rigorous and there is peer support: self-assessment and trust of our participants is core to our principles and values.
Organizations (NGOs and others) can sign up for a comprehensive, long-term experiential path of development for those staff who are interested. Collaboration off-line where people are based in a single office enables additional and varied opportunities for staff and leaders.
