What is LeadershipU International?
LeadershipUI is our exclusive virtual leadership training platform designed for students, staff, administrators, faculty members, and community based organizations.
BELG prides itself in creating “Experiences” that are dynamic and transformative. All of our programs, including our African American Student Leadership Experience; Chicano Hispanic Latino Leadership Experience; Asian American Pacific Islander Leadership Experience and now our Virtual LeadershipUI platform moves delegates from theory to practice through creative and innovative approaches. We do not do conferences, we have “Experiences” where we have re-imagined content delivery, learning, and engagement. Our approaches move us closer to our vision of becoming the preeminent producer of Global Leaders and Global Leadership.
LeadershipUI is grounded in the metaphor of the majestic Baobab tree, Africa’s tree of life. Like the Baobab tree, our participants will emerge rooted and grounded in their authentic sense of self. LeadershipUI grounds participants in a strong foundation (roots) and connects them to strategic networks (routes) that make them flourish. Rooted in ancestral knowledge and contemporary expertise, LeadershipUI is our virtual platform which is rooted in and routed for creativity, innovation and leadership development.
LeadershipUI creates communal spaces for on-going dialogue and discussion with shared voices and ideologies with some of the world’s greatest thought leaders. The shared and varied experiences are necessary for addressing community challenges; and provides spaces to share best practices, and solutions. The results will produce leaders equipped with strategies, tools, and tactics for social justice activism and movementologies, which are various approaches to getting to desired results.
LeadershipUI also cultivates social entrepreneurial endeavors, provides access and exposure to exclusive job, internship, and networking opportunities/experiences. LeadershipUI will transform the virtual environment creating a dynamic unique learning and working space where coalition building will be organic, authentic, and genuine; a space for Allyship to emerge. Most importantly, LeadershipUI virtual experience allows for all participants to just be themselves.
