Those 12 days gave me the energy, refuelled my thoughts and determination to maintain my spirit for changes around me. Meeting with so much positive energy in one place, with one goal of “making the world a humane place” gave me an opportunity to have a wider world view.

In the International Leadership Program, I was taught to use what I know to try and serve the world, what I know is business and my community really needs all the helping hands they can get right now.

When I attended my fist leadership training at the International Leadership Programme in Italy I learned so much there on different levels and used these insights with my group at home: I learned to trust myself and to access my inner potential. I also learned that there a many brilliant people in this world, each and everybody with the wish to make this world a better place.

I met the most wonderful, inspiring people from all over the world and discovered myself in ways that I have never before. I felt openness, curiosity and confidence in this process through group intelligence and the power of collaboration. I felt a stronger sense of connectedness and group passion about a common cause. Meeting so many different people from different cultures on so many different levels has definitely turned me into a more extrovert person, allowing my relationships with people to become more fulfilling.

I have learned many things related to culture and influence. I hope that I will be able to influence my community, not towards the things that I like nor towards my values, but to influence them in a way where they are more aware of their own values and committed to them.

WYSE creates a safe atmosphere for every learner to grow, nurture his or her ideas in the most beautiful way. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. The discourse on leadership, culture and global identity played a big role in shaping my thought process towards the world outside of me.

Despite various challenges there is a common ground that joins us: love, peace, creativity, passion, willingness to change, observation of the world, critical thinking, and the desire to stand as one hand against global challenges.

This is exactly the place which can give you inspiration, challenge, knowledge and opportunity to find out your hidden vision and make them realised. It is so surprising how the positive emotions and thoughts I gained from an amazing community can really lead me even long after the programs.

It was a journey where I learnt a lot about myself and how I can use my skills to make a positive difference in the world. To unfold oneself and then to create a positive impact. WYSE gave me a much clearer perspective towards my goals and life, as well as helped me understand the importance of striking a balance between doing and being.

Andrea Cardillo, Italy: Managing Partner at TPC Leadership Italia
When life gets more tough or I have a hard time, I feel the need to reconnect with my experience in WYSE, with the community of my worldwide WYSE friends and with that sense of positive and concrete trust in the future. Even after so many years have passed since my first programme, I can still see the 'long wave' generated on my personal and professional life by that experience.

It made me better able to reflect on myself, be aware of who I am, what my fears and needs are, and most importantly where I want to go and what I want from my life. I'm very grateful that I had the opportunity to participate in those programmes, probably the best investment I ever made.
