Leaders who participate in this programme will be introduced to a unique integration of:
- Deep Thinking - Providing current analyses to help leaders engage with fresh ideas.
- Raising the Spirit Level - Mobilising the inner resources for learning, growing and healing; using the soul in social change.
- Exercising Imagination - Developing imagination as the basis of the will to act and the courage for creativity.
- Fluency in Critical Consciousness - Tackling presuppositions, critically examining the mind and the society in which we live.
- Advocating and Communicating Change.

This will provide leaders and aspiring leaders with an avenue to step out of the negativity that pervades Irish public life.
