I believe that leadership development changes people - The way they work and the service they offer. GELI's dream is to take this and build new community among senior leaders in the humanitarian and development sector. The challenging, inspiring, and thought-provoking learning journey offered by GELI will support leaders to maximize their impact on lives in a positive and sustainable way.
