Launch of U.Academy

Apr 1, 2020

The U.Academy offering focuses on high-end, online capacity-building modules, designed for professionals from across all sectors.

We are excited to announce that we have launched the U.Academy. The U.Academy will complement our free online offerings (e.g., GAIA, u.lab) with a second pillar. This new offering focuses on high-end, online capacity-building modules, designed for professionals from across all sectors. Born from a long-held intention, we feel that this is the right timing.

The purpose of the U.Academy is twofold:
1) to better serve the capacity-building needs of professionals and their institutions in order to lead transformational change in times of profound disruption, and
2) to generate revenues to cross-fund our various free online offerings such as GAIA, u.lab 1x, u.lab 2x, etc.

The U.Academy offers focused modules that help leaders, change-makers, teams, and organizations initiate and sustain transformational change based on Theory U and Presencing practices and frameworks.

All programs featured on the U.Academy are digital offerings, and provide in-depth, targeted trainings:
