We believe having focus is a necessary precursor to leadership capability and professional growth. Our program FOCUS emphasizes in-depth reflection - learning from the inside out if you will - where you will examine the world around you, and beyond you, to determine how your leadership can and will make a positive difference. Our sequential learning modules initiate a uniquely personal journey of self-discovery, and for our hundreds of participants it has had life-changing impact. We are proud to say that our graduates have gone on to become influential and esteemed leaders in their organizations, their communities and in the global arena. And, the fact that you're here, tells us you are up for the challenge too.

OUTCOMES

- National and international networks
- Proven models for ethical decision-making and value-driven cultures
- Expanded understanding of global trends in leadership and business
- Heightened ability to maximize human potential
- New awareness of self and the value of whole-brain thinking

"I've spent more time in the last few months coming to understand who I am, who I wish to become and what I have to offer than the previous 37 years combined and it was time well spent!"
Rob Hansen, Sales Manager, Agilent Technologies, Richardson, TX

"FOCUS provides an honest and open forum to discuss issues that seem so distant when heard about in the press, yet upon examination, have real importance in our daily lives. I always emerged with new information, new values and new tools that equipped me to grow personally and professionally in a shrinking, always-changing world."
Michael App, Vice President of Investments, Lozier Corporation, Omaha, NE
