Co-creating Peace Episode #101 – “The Path to Conscious, Co-creative Leadership”

We face many challenges in today’s world. High among them is the need for more wise, strong, conscious leaders. Many young adults around the world have that potential, but they need education, mentoring, a direction to move in, and the opportunity to implement what they learn. Yet access is limited, especially for those who live in underdeveloped and impoverished countries.

That’s where the International Institute for Global Leadership (IIGL) comes in. Their conscious leadership program is available to anyone, anywhere, at no cost. This program has changed the lives of its students, their communities, and countless others who have benefited from the leadership of its students and graduates! 

Welcome to “The Path to Conscious, Co-creative Leadership”, Episode #101 of Co-creating Peace.

Joining me to talk about this great organization and its impact are IIGL Board President, Vivian Muciri (Kenya) and Executive Director, Deb Rosen.

Highlights include:

•  IIGL’s origin, Mission, program, and how people can get involved as students, donors, and mentors
• Vivian’s journey through IIGL, its impact on her, and how the project she created for her Level 7 IIGL studies, Vision for Change Foundation, is changing lives in Kenya.
