This program is the first one A Sustainable Tomorrow and VATI of Sweden offers in this format, which combines the cross-border meeting with a structured leadership development process that focuses on sustainable leadership, inner development and transformation.

By 2030, we will have eradicated poverty, reduced inequalities and solved the climate crisis. Here we are - at the halfway point - and a lot of work remains to be done. According to the Inner Development Goals (IDGs), new research shows that the answer lies in looking inward, starting with changing ourselves before we can change our external circumstances.

With the help of the Inner Development Goals framework and insights on complexity, Theory U, system change and change management, we work in the program together to gain new insights and build the new transformative leadership where we also go from being and knowing to doing. The purpose is to keep the focus on how you and your organization can reach the goal of Agenda 2030.

The Inner Development Goals is a non-profit, open-source initiative founded by the 29k Foundation, the Ekskäret Foundation, and The New Division and is designed to complement the SDGs. They describe abilities and qualities that we humans need to develop and apply in order to achieve the leadership required.

" I used to think the top environmental problems were biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and climate change...

I was wrong. The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed and apathy, and to deal with these we need a cultural and spiritual transformation."

- Gus Speth

Who is it for?

• Do you feel alone in your sustainability work and want to build a network to draw strength and knowledge from? Then this program to accelerate the transformation of organizations and individuals towards achieving the 2030 Agenda is for you! Together we create the future we want and need!
  
  
• The program is aimed at those who are formal or informal leaders in an organization (in the private or public sector), and who have the courage to create change beyond the expected, together in a cross-border group of leaders.
  
  
• Examples of roles where this approach can make a significant difference are: CEO, Sustainability Manager, Environmental and Quality Manager, Unit Manager, Project Manager, HR Manager, Change Manager, Business Developer, Head of Administration, Board Member.

What is the purpose of the program?

• The purpose is to help you work on your inner development, to strengthen you in your leadership challenges and to build, together with others, a transformative force for change around HOW you and your organization can reach the sustainable development goals of Agenda 2030.
  

How does the Mastermind concept work?

• In a Mastermind group, the group takes on cross-cutting challenges together and creates results that could not have been achieved on their own. It is based on the idea that when two people come together and collaborate, a third participant, "the mastermind", emerges creating insights that the individuals do not have access to.
  
  
• The Mastermind format is powerful and well-proven. It was developed by Napoleon Hill in the early 20th century, with the aim of taking your personal and professional life to the next level. 
  
  
• In the group, we build psychological safety and help each other focus on each other's goals and challenges through group coaching and exchanging experiences. Using different frameworks, concepts and tools, we develop together the transformative leadership needed to tackle the complex challenge of the Agenda 2030 .

What do I get from participating?

• You get an exclusive support group with the aim of supporting you in the process of developing as an individual and leader, as well as in your professional role.
  
  
• You'll work on your professional challenges and the group will assist you in finding new solutions, paths and perspectives.
  
  
• You also have access to personal coaching from your facilitator between meetings, as a supplement if you wish. This can support you in both your role as a leader with all your commitments and ambitions and as a person in the midst of life with all that entails.
  
  
• You will both coach others and be coached by the group, providing insights and learnings about yourself and others even if your challenges are different.
  
  
• You'll develop an action plan for your personal- and leadership development to take after the Mastermind program is complete.
  

How does it work?

• You apply for the program's limited seats and we select and match participants to form the groups, in order to obtain as high a diversity as possible.  
• Each group has 6-8 participants and is led by an experienced facilitator/coach. 
• We'll meet on 6 occasions (half days) during 1 year. Two of these days are physical, the rest digital on zoom. During February, we'll hold an inspiration and acceleration day for all groups physically. The last meeting is a celebration day with the awarding of diplomas for finishing the program. 
• Exact dates will be set with each group when matched.

- Napoleon Hill

The purpose of the program is that you as a leader will overcome challenges, share your experiences, realize ambitions and expand your thinking regarding your leadership role where you are at. 

We believe that personal development is necessary for societal change.

The new Inner Development Goals (IDG) framework is about this very thing and is thus the biggest possible accelerator for reaching the Sustainable Development Goals and creating a prosperous future for humanity.

It is up to us to develop from the inside out, in order to make the biggest difference in the roles we have. We need to be clear-sighted and innovative - together - to create a momentum that lasts over time.

From start, the group together with the facilitator, sets topics for discussions and formulates goals for personal development. Based on the group's needs and wishes, the facilitator tailors the program and brings in additional expertise related to the topic to be discussed.

Examples of topics

• Transformative leadership
  
• Health & wellbeing
• Circular economy
• Sustainable exports
• Innovation & Sustainability
• Digitization & Sustainability
• Integration of sustainability strategy in the organization
• The financial sector's role as a catalyst
• Verification of organizations' sustainability work
• How to prevent greenwashing and greenhushing
• Laws, regulations and directives that affect organizations
