Our Leadership Development Model represents a key value proposition that You and I gives to the world through its program. It is the core of our program operations. It is the process that we use, through its different program’s activities, to enable the students to be ready to realize their fullest potential.

Leadership qualities we develop

Self Aware: “I know what I am good at, what’s important to me, and what I am passionate about. I am constantly exploring what I want to achieve in my life.”

Empowering Others: “I am able to communicate ideas clearly, engage in meaningful conversations with others, and co-create spaces of collaboration that empower people to take action.

Solution Orientation: “I come up with solutions to challenges. I am flexible, and I am always ready to take the necessary risks. Every time I fall, I always stand back up.”

World Citizen: “I am aware of what is going on in the world and enjoy taking an active role in contributing towards making it a better place for everyone.”

Learning environment

Individual Discovery and reflection
This is where you find the opportunity to build your own big-picture understanding in order to draw conclusions about yourself. People do this through exploration, interaction, journaling, personal development plan, goal setting, and dialogue.

Team/Class Experience
Teams are the basis of all individuals’ experiences in You and I since they join the programme. Teams show us how to put in practice the principle of learning by doing. Our teams need to be the place where we create space for innovation and activity based on our individual interests.

One on One
Our lives are spent in understanding ourselves and the coaching session or mentorship is very important in this process. The key to the process is to remove the individual from his/her comfort zone enough to help them gain objectivity over themselves but not to scare the individual off.

Events and Forums
Events and forums are excellent platforms, especially when combined with hosted spaces, individual reflection, and one-on-one activities.

Learning Circles
Learning circles are local learning communities formed by students and their facilitators who share a common interest in gaining experience, knowledge, and networks in a common sector or topic. Learning circles can have different focuses and participants with different levels of knowledge. People may be part of more than one, and attendance is based in interest. This process can be facilitated by a more experienced member and mixing different tools like books, articles, motivational videos, etc.

Virtual Spaces
Our virtual spaces also play a critical role in tying together the entire learning environment. Elements in virtual spaces are communities (information and resource sharing), forums (virtual discussion and perspective sharing), blogs (personal reflection and experience sharing) and building & keeping networks, or other opportunities and information available on the World Wide Web.
