Asking Questions
In the Leadership Program, we ask questions—many questions. We believe that a community of talented people thinking together about important questions and sharing interesting experiences can produce great results.
Three big questions guide what we will do in our two weeks together:
- How can we best live with other people, especially those who differ from us?
- How can we best use our resources to serve others and care for the earth?
- How can we best develop and use our talents to influence others for good?
If you like to ask questions such as these and are willing to open yourself to innovative ways of seeing and thinking, we think you will find the this program to be an extraordinary experience.
