FUNDAMENTAL DECISION MAKING: It Starts with TRUTH

Starts Friday, April 12, 2024!

The purpose of the Authentic Leadership Foundation is to help youth unlock what's inside them to build the strong leaders we need them to be. To this end, we target our mission on delivering Principled Decision Making (PDM) trainings for youth and young adults, creating their framework for life to:

  • Make Principled Decisions,
  • Build Strong Character
  • Execute Mission
  • Discover Your Path to Greatness

While the training is ultimately for youth, the process begins with trained adults. For this reason, we encourage you to register for Fundamental Training. As most participants would attest, the best way to see the benefits of our training is to actually register for and take the training.

PDM Training is delivered 'live' and virtually, through bi-monthly, scheduled community outreach training throughout the year, and through customized training programs for schools, businesses and institutions.

We call participants in the fundamental trainings TRUTH SEEKERS. We call graduates of all three trainings Authentic Leaders. The world needs all of us to become Authentic Leaders.

What Can Authentic Leaders Do?

  • Distinguish between important words such as mission, vocation & integrity and how they work together to help them make principled decisions.
  • Communicate their mission and obstacles.
  • Make consistent decisions and explain ‘why’ successfully every time. No one cares about knowledge and experience. They want principled decisions.
  • Examine their day and adjust quickly for better results.
  • Measure service & greatness for themselves.
  • Achieve their potential and have a great impact on those they serve.

Without a clear understanding of Truth, one cannot lead. People and organizations cannot grow or flourish. That’s why the Authentic Leadership Foundation has created our Principled Decision Making Training.

The FUNDAMENTAL TRAINING (Module 1) provides the foundation to Principled Decision Making. The Enhanced (Module 2) and Advanced Training (Module 3), completed over two semesters, deepen your ability to execute and lead.
