Global Healthcare and Sustainable Wellbeing
Tuition: 695$

The ANIMA model of leadership symbolizes a truly soulful approach to the enor-
mous privileges and responsibilities embedded in leadership. In a global, increas-
ingly interconnected society, the leaders who create the greatest impact will be
those who serve, mentor, and inspire others.
A soulful leader seeks to provide more benefits than simply profit to his or her
stakeholders. A premium is placed on treating employees as co-entrepreneurs;
on conservancy of the environment; on local as well as global outreach; and on
an intentional strategy for operation that serves the common good. If the lead-
ership of an organization conducts every transaction according to the Golden
Rule: treating everyone as they, themselves, wish to be treated; they will achieve
the fullest potential of their vocation.
On September 25th 2015, countries adopted a set of goals to end poverty, pro-
tect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all as part of a new sustainable devel-
opment agenda. Each goal has specific targets to be achieved over the next 15
years.
For the goals to be reached, everyone needs to do their part: governments, the
private sector, civil society and people like you.
