NLF is working towards the growth and development of leadership potential amongst the talented youth in India, and is organizing a leadership discovery summit from July 16-18, 2010 in Kozhikode (Calicut), Kerela. The rejuvenating three day workshop is aimed at providing a platform for motivated youngsters in India to:

Discover themselves

Decode their talents

Deliver exceptional value to the country.

This will also be a forum where selected participants can interact with their highly gifted peer group representing the top five percent of the talent pool of young India. This may provide them with an opportunity to undertake a project that they may choose to pursue. They may also seek mentorship from contemporary leaders while learning lessons on life and leadership. The workshop will enable the participants to gain fundamental clarity about their thoughts, beliefs and actions and a new orientation to life.

The workshop will be designed and led by Professor Debashis Chatterjee, Founder, National Leadership Foundation, Harvard University Scholar, Global Thought Leader, and currently Director of IIM Kozhikode.
