New Cohort beginning October 22nd! Apply today! Learn more below and hear from recent Black Belt Graduates.
We are excited to offer a new program for our HLA Professor Cohort Graduates! Welcoming our graduates to practice a new way of “Being”, by practicing curiosity through our Black Belt Cohort Program. The Black Belt program of the Humanistic Leadership Academy is a guided inquiry designed to unveil your true potential and discover your abilities as a humanistic leader.
A set of dialogues offer a unique insight into the ontological nature of Mastery and its benefits. This will lead to a deep understanding of ‘Mastery as a way of being’™. Mastery is defined as transcending oneself from individualism to altruism, rising above oneself for the greater good. By exploring the concept of ‘Mastery as a way of being’, emphasizing the ontological nature of mastery, participants are encouraged to view life as a profound experience that may surpass individual existence.
Our primary goal is to transform business and education and prepare humanistic leaders for the present and future. The program strives to cultivate each participant’s identity as a Humanistic Leader, promoting an innovative approach to education through a journey of guided discovery with their students.
We aim to explore the possibility: Could our very existence and way of being serve to create a world that works for all of humanity?
Submit your application today to join the Fall 2024 Cohort beginning October 22nd!
