Harvard defined the eight key attributes by identifying successful students and analyzing which characteristics those students have in common.

Leadership Training Process
We curate and use viral user-generated-content to teach and model key social-emotional learning concepts for the YouTube generation.
Brainstorm Buddy offers students immediate, expert advice – like a tutor – to help them craft their personalized responses using the language framework requisite for Social Emotional Learning (SEL) development and growth.
In addition to written word and multiple-choice questions, students submit video and audio resulting in the most natural and authentic responses.
Parental involvement is tantamount to the development of student soft skills. Our Parent Dashboard enables parents to experience our leaderships curriculum, see archives of their students’ work, and review reports to track their students’ progress.
Leadership Training Courses
Leadership is not bound by age, wealth, power, or experience — rather, it is a conscious choice, just like becoming an IMPACTER. To make this choice, you don’t need any specific prerequisites. Instead, possessing key qualities such as Curiosity, Perspective-Taking, Purpose, Self-Control, Grit, Growth Mindset, Compassion, and Gratitude empowers you to unlock your full potential and make a profound impact on others.
Our courses are designed to do just that.
In this transformative course, we delve deep into the 8 Attributes of the IMPACTER Cycle through a high-engagement curricular experience that uses natural language to assess student learning. By the end, learners emerge with the skills to not only be an IMPACTER, but to further develop strengths and identify future areas for development.
The more you have a sense of your individual goals and purpose, the more you’ll be able to leverage the people, places, and cultures in which you operate to maximize your impact. In this course, you’ll learn how to turn your habits into real action and effect real change in the process.
Being on a team isn’t easy. Especially when the stakes are high and results really matter. In this course, you’ll learn how to listen and empower others, and you’ll gain an appreciation for the importance of roles and responsibilities when completing large-scale tasks.
Working to solve problems efficiently and accurately is a life-long skill that takes years of practice. In this course, you’ll lay the foundation for important skills like deduction, practicality, resourcefulness, and perseverance. All tools that can be used well into adulthood.
