Overview

Overview:

You’ll begin by meeting your classmates in Chicago for a rigorous week-long Meetup. Together, with a group of instructors who’ve worked alongside Stanford, Kellogg, and an array of companies, we will focus on curriculum around five core competencies:

  • Self-Awareness
    • Define your strengths and weaknesses, how you learn best, and what you need to perform at a high level.
  • Community Building
    • Learn how to identify key individuals in life and work, and how to invite them into the creation and building of a new idea.
  • Storytelling
    • Explore how storytelling can transform the way individuals & communities think, feel, and behave. You’ll learn the principles and mindsets that will shape how you tell stories during your Leap and beyond.
  • Business Operations
    • We’ll dive into the tools and systems that help organizations turn vision and goals into sustainable business models.
  • Design Thinking
    • Understand how to find solutions to the most complicated challenges using this creative process focused on developing empathy, prototyping quickly, and learning from failure.

Spud’s Thoughts:

I love the Leap team. I read the Leap book a few years ago and was instantly drawn to the concept of integrating apprenticeships and hands-on learning more fully into our education. Victor – who leads Experience Institute – is an incredible pioneer in the field and everything he does is high quality. Their programs may be a bit expensive but you can try to find creative ways to fund the tuition and their team will definitely help offer ideas.
