Application Process Thanks for your interest in the Global Leadership Forum (GLF) — a program of in-depth reflection in a community of colleagues to promote personal and professional leadership growth.
Applications for participation in the Global Leadership Forum can be submitted online at any time and should be submitted as early as possible before the beginning of the next available cohort.
Selection Criteria GLF participants are recruited through direct invitation, referrals, self-nomination and requests for participation from appropriate organizations and individuals.
Selection to a GLF cohort is based on:
Commitment to international development and cross-cultural understanding.
Leadership potential, current or future.
Well-articulated need that can be addressed through the program.
Commitment to co-create the cohort dynamic.
Willingness to be fully present and vulnerable with the group experience.
Demonstration of a growth mindset with regards to personal and leadership development.
Initial breadth of awareness of key areas of organizational development.
Tuition and Fees Tuition for each participant in GLF is $3,500. This includes lunches, snacks, and other incidentals for all seven day-long sessions. This can be paid either by the cohort participant, their employer, or both. It is strongly encouraged that a participant's employer support their participation in the Global Leadership Forum, at least in part.
Tuition and fees are due by the date of your first cohort meeting. However, if cost is a barrier, we still encourage you to apply. Payment plans and limited scholarships (maximum award $1,500) are available for those in need. The amount of scholarship available depends on the need in each cohort and we are willing to work with each cohort member to address their specific financial concerns.
For those who are able, paying the full tuition and fees makes it possible for others with less privilege to become full and participating members of our learning community.
Additional inquiries regarding the application process and requests for financial assistance can be sent to GLF Managing Director, Kim Rakow Bernier at rakow.bernier@gmail.com.
