"I keep coming back to how healthy this program is for you. I didn't know I needed it, before the first gathering. Meeting people who think alike, who are open and challenge you to be vulnerable and open, is underestimated. If you feel tired of your old routine, and wish to give yourself a boost, sign up for Future Leader Global. The digital gatherings fit into my life perfectly."

Lisa Brekke

Participant in 2022

"My experience participating has been at just the right time for me in my journey of self-development and enabled me to understand new ways of dealing with all, from my own feelings, to how I make decisions in my private life and at work. What stood out for me was how fast all participants tuned in and shared experiences and knowledge. We created a safe space for thoughts and ideas."

Adam El Deen

Participant 2024

"Future Leaders has been a revelation for me. I learned so much about myself through this experiences and I feel more aligned with my intentions and values. I really appreciate the connections I have formed through Future Leaders, and this program has helped me rediscover my identity and passions that I temporarily lost along the way during the pandemic. I feel excited about the future!"
