Dream for the World Ethical Leadership Training

Unwavering Commitment to the Idea that Education Is the Only Way to Achieve Meaningful Change Fuels Decades of Programming and Education

“Wanderer above the Mist” by Caspar David Friedrich (1818)
This image has often been used by Mr. Koukis in association with the Dream for the World initiative to communicate the individual’s perspective, awareness, and role—looking out at all that is outside oneself and also within, contemplating the horizon and considering the part they will play in the larger landscape.

I feel it was the best experience of my life. I identified my greatest fears and had the opportunity to face them. I found that the answers I always searched for were inside me; I had just never stopped to see them. I never thought that in such a short time I could have changed so much my way of thinking and acting, and I wonder how they managed to gather so many good people in one place!

[It] was an amazing program that led me to review [my] ... opinions, habits, and perspectives. It was an experience that marked me deeply and I’m sure this was just the beginning of a much larger process. I will carry with me important relationships with amazing people, some maybe for the rest of life. More than a leadership development program, it [encouraged] deep reflection and personal development—a real school for life.
