About
Leadership is something we learn by doing.
We drive positive change.
We as Future Leaders embrace the process of rethinking the world around us. We seek opportunities to be playful, proactive, and drive positive change. To continuously co-create a thriving world with the people around us. Because we live in a time of transition. And in the best time to take action: now.

For us as Future Leaders, leadership is not a role we get. It is a choice to take responsibility. Our friends, our family, our generation, and future generations need us to take action: To be proactive and collaborate across boundaries, networks, communities, organizations, and societies.

We are people from all over the world coming together and creating change. By respecting and building on the ideas and achievements of previous generations we do our part to build a thriving future.
Our Purpose
Building a thriving world based on responsible action
Our Principles
We have four principles that guide us.
  • We empower ourselves to empower others

    We build a strong foundation for ourselves in order to live a thriving and healthy life. We take this as the baseline to interact with and support the people around us.
    01
  • We treat everyone equal by treating everyone different

    We acknowledge that every person has a different background, story, needs, and dreams. We meet everyone open, curious, and with compassion.
    02
  • We leave the place better than when we arrived

    We strive to have positive effects on the world around us. We listen with intent, show appreciation to the people around us, and treat our surroundings respectfully.
    03
  • We think global and act local


    We understand that we live in a connected world, both physical and digital. We engage locally and globally, driving positive action in our surroundings with a global understanding in mind.

  • Tilmann Stolte
    Why I am a part of Future Leaders:
    With a background in innovation management, I've always been fascinated by the opportunities of the future. Future Leaders combines the perspectives of self-reflection and vision-building in a strong way, allowing for conscious decision-making that gives us collectively the chance to be more proactive and less reactive in our lives. As a result, we can drive meaningful change, both individually and for the people around us. Exploring these spaces together with others in an open, vulnerable way is a transformative experience that continuously shapes the perspective on myself and the world around me.

    Why I am a part of Future Leaders:
    As a highly curious soul, I have always been intrigued by humans, how we co-exist and relate to the floating marble we like to call "our planet". My curiousness drove me to a degree in climate physics, but to tackle current deep and fundamental challenges, science is not enough. We need engaged voices to speak up and take proactive and conscious choices everywhere. How do we motivate people to take action and shift into the uncomfortable? For me, Future Leaders is a big part of this solution. It's a space where everyone is welcome to co-create solutions and it feels like home.

    Why I am a part of Future Leaders:
    Years in AIESEC really made it stick: Leadership is the fundamental solution to all issues. With this at heart, it was only natural to get hooked by Future Leaders — an organization that has leadership development at its core. I love to move humans, organizations, and society forward. For this, their systemic interrelations and inner workings have to first be uncovered and then transformed sustainably. That's another thing I love about Future Leaders: people here are equally passionate about each of the three levels and thrive on new insights into how to 'hack' systems.

    Why I am a part of Future Leaders:
    I have taken part in various leadership trainings since I was 15, and later conducted trainings for others both through volunteer work and in my career, mainly for international groups. Throughout my life I have experienced the immense impact leaders have on their teams (both good and bad) and also the significance we all have in our daily life on our societies. I am passionate about people, communication and cultures and discovering the potential of the individual to create the surroundings and society they want to be part of. Through my work with Future Leaders Global I want to help people develop their interpersonal skills and their ability to be active members of society and create the future they want!

    Why I am a part of Future Leaders:
    I am passionate about the opportunity to co-create a society where individuals take more responsibility, culminate intellectual honesty, critical thinking, openness, empathy and direct communication for better collaboration. I believe that we as human beings are - and become - better together. That the most effective way to develop oneself is by being vulnerable and inviting others into your process, for supporting and challenging - through love, compassion and accountability.
  • Ulrikke Mysen
    Facilitator & Coach
    Why I am a part of Future Leaders:
    I am passionate and deeply curious about how we need to grow as individuals and as humanity to lead into the future. I believe that developing leaders requires a holistic approach—one that acknowledges both the complexity of the business world and the humbleness it takes to lead in uncertain times. That’s why I am part of Future Leaders. The vision and principles of FL resonate deeply with my purpose, and being part of this community allows me to bring together my background in Business Consulting, Organizational Psychology, leadership coaching, personal development, and mindfulness.
    I truly believe that collaboration is the key to moving this world forward. Every time we work together, I learn something new, and through co-creating workshops and programs, we make an even greater impact. With Future Leaders, I feel I can show up as my full, authentic self while having fun along the way—and that’s a true gift.

    Future Leaders was what kick-started my journey into the uncomfortable, widening my own comfort zone and allowing me to experience things I never thought I could.

    Why I am a part of Future Leaders:
    I gained so much from being a participant in Future Leaders in Copenhagen 2019, and it was a no-brainer to continue to be part of this great community. I believe that we as humans have a greater power within ourselves to create a positive impact - be it for yourself, the people around you, or society as a whole. What I enjoy about being part of FL today is that I can harness the power of marketing and communication for something good and impactful. And of course, continue to learn and grow with amazing people!

    What I love about Future Leaders is that it is for everyone. It doesn't matter if you want to become the next Secretary-General of the UN, the best football coach for girls 14 or the best version of yourself. As long as you want to drive positive change and have an impact on your world FL is something for you. Because the truth is that we are all leaders, first and foremost in our own personal life. So if we all take one step towards change in our own world it will have a big impact on the world as a whole.
