FELLOWSHIPS
LEADING COLOMBIA
Aspen Leadership Program - Colfuturo
The Leading Colombia program, in alliance with COLFUTURO, aims to strengthen people who have already demonstrated leadership and professional excellence in their area, supporting them in the purpose of articulating among a diverse group, who share the interest of collaborating to contribute and solve some of the main challenges facing Colombia.
In Leading Colombia, leaders embark on a journey of personal exploration and reflection that takes them beyond personal success to a place of collective significance.
The Programme employs a Socratic dialogue approach to explore the challenges of leadership in balancing the pursuit of goals while staying grounded in core values. This course helps participants refine their purpose—both for their personal development and their organizations.
The Programme consists of the Opening Seminar, two in-place seminars, three virtual meetings, and the Closing Seminar. We work under the four key components of the Aspen methodology: moderators, readings, participants, and time.
Aspen Global Leadership Network
The Leading Colombia fellowship is part of the Aspen Global Leadership Network (AGLN), a global community of more than 3,000 business, government, and nonprofit sector leaders in more than 50 countries. Being part of the AGLN, fellows commit to moving from success to significance by acting as leaders on some of the world's most pressing challenges.
"Leading Colombia 2050 marks a before and after without a doubt, leaving each of the experiences being the same person is impossible. Discovering what unites us, what makes us human, and also what separates us, allows us to believe that building a better future is possible, and that doing it alone is also possible, but that it will be more rewarding and with greater impact if we do it together."
"Having the opportunity to talk and learn from people with such diverse points of view opened my mind and I want to think that it has made me a better person. I learned that I can disagree with people and that through respectful dialogue, we can understand the differences and build on the issues that unite us."
"It is a wonderful opportunity to reflect and debate with high quality and with an excellent level of depth on the most fundamental questions of our society and our role as individuals and leaders in achieving the Colombian society that we dream of."
