WE’RE GROWING CHANGEMAKERS
Mentora Foundation is dedicated to developing a fellowship of global changemakers who are committed to building a principled world.
The world needs changemakers
The old world order is being dismantled. We do not as yet know what the new order will be. It is being silently sculpted by the actions and choices all of us are making every day.
Successful transformation will require a new generation of changemakers who catalyze outer transformation in people’s behavior and circumstances by inspiring inner transformation in their values, feelings, thoughts, beliefs and intentions. At the Mentora Foundation, we’re helping identify and develop these inside-out changemakers.
Distinct from our work at the Mentora Institute–in which we help drive the acceleration of performance and transformation of culture at all levels of our client organizations–our work at the foundation focuses on a once-in-a-lifetime immersive and intensive experience with individuals with the calling to change the world.
Of course, many Foundation graduates go on to (or back into) some of our client organizations. And some of our best clients nominate and sponsor key individuals for the Foundation program. After all, an inspired organization naturally fosters changemakers. And changemakers equally are drawn to join and create inspired organizations.
